So is Noctis anything better? Square has always been giving names to its main characters since FFVII based on natural phenomenons. Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Lightning, Noctis. The only exception is Zidane which is a hommage to the football player Zinedine Zidane from France, who won the World Cup at the time Square was developing FFIX, and also FFXII which had a completely different dev team.
