That actually spooked me as well when Stella was scrapped from the storyline but I believed it's just simply because her character didn't suit the what the game was directed towards.
It's just all up to Square Enix to do as they see fit when it comes to changing the storyline and characters of the game in Final Fantasy. I believe that they know what's best for them as well as the gamers interest as well.
