I'm happy with the changes. I thought Stella seemed a bit cliche, if i'm being honest. She was like an Aerith to Noctis's Cloud. Feminine, strong, but not too strong, and most importantly, not cynical like the male hero. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't think the media ever depicts women as brooding and cynical. But I digress. Lunafreya is more interesting to me. At the end of the FFXV demo, the news reports that King Regis, Lunafreya, and Noctis are all dead. But we at least know that Noctis and Luna are not. It's obvious why we know Noctis isn't dead, and we see Luna escaping a ravaged Insomnia. Gotta say... i'm intrigued. I don't know a lot about Luna, but I am getting Ashe vibes from her. I think she will be part of some kind of insurgency, and will be mysterious to the player for a good chunk of the game. But like Ashe, she will be key to the conflict, and I think Noct and his gang will be assisting her in her mission. In the scene with her at the dinner table, I don't think she looks vapid. If I were to give a word for the vibe I got from her... it would be "dutiful"... She looks like she's got a duty to fulfill and that she's waiting for the right time before she goes into action. She also seems to have some kind of magic power? I say that because of the flickering lights she seems to produce in that scene. That may very well play a role in the plot.

Anyway, that being said, I do sympathize with those who wanted both Luna and Stella. I think there is a lot of great potential and possibilities with the story if both women existed and we're equally strong characters.

Welp, that's my two cents.
