For the names to be ones such as the ones that you suggested will ruin a lot of interest in your story. If you feel the need to have last names, I suggest picking out some fairly common and normal last names. Having your references will seem like a cheap ploy (Keyheart? Anyone will spot where you got that in half a second), and will kill the enjoyment of the story.

Also, a good many FF characters have no last names at all. Except for the characters of FFVII and VIII, I don't think any of them have last names. And in those games, the vast majority of the last names were totally meaningless.
I said that I don't want references to other characters.
I didn't say references to other characters. I said references. Whether they are references to the other characters or to the game's plot matters not, both will have a negative affect on whatever work you are trying to create. Now why don't you go back and read my post and try to understand that I am simply trying to help you improve your work, nothing more.
