I'm not even going to comment on his shoe size being relevant...

I haven't even seen what this guy looks like (link was removed ) and I've been trying hard to stay out of this forum since I walked away from the original trailer feeling as though I watched 60 seconds of Squenix murdering my favorite series.

With the few story details that have been released, I'm intrigued. But with Nomura at the lead for writing, I know that the first half of the game is going to be good while it will end on a disappointing note. The man can build alot of hype and expectations in his stories (First disc of FFVII, KH, and KHCoM) but he just can't create satisfying conclusions (The rest of FFVII and KHII).

Also, for the names. That's a Nomura thing. He likes to name his characters after things associated with the sky. Cloud, Squall, Tidus (means sun), Sora (means sky) and now Lightning. Get over it. It's not a big deal.
