I don't see how Duscae made it 'obvious' at all, as I said what we found doesn't contradict the sisters idea in the slightest. The thing that makes it most likely that Luna/Stella are the same person is the fact they look nearly identical if you compare the E3 2013 and TGS 2014 trailers. Operative word there though is 'nearly' - they do seem to be two slightly different designs.

I agree it's silly to be precious, I don't know why I am, yet here we are. Do you have any idea how long it took me to accept 'Aeris' was actually 'Aerith'? This is a much more significant change!

It just seems really odd to change a character's name like that so substantially. Maybe I just prefer the idea of there being two interesting characters for the price of one? Who knows. I think it's more the confusion that bugs me, if Tabata came out and said "Yeah we changed her name she's Lunafreya now" then I could just say "OK fair enough I liked the name Stella but whatever" and start getting used to it. But no, he actually just said "oooh well you'll just have to wait and see!" so of course​ I'm going to speculate wildly!
