The mission names are a bizarre mix of Final Fantasy references (
Interrupted by Fireworks,
ODEKA Ke Chocochicks) and... literature? (The Brothers Kupomazov/The Brothers Karamazov, Waiting for Maagho/Waiting for Godot)
I'm pretty sure Noct getting questionably assaulted by Kenny Crow is meant to be reminiscent of the infamous Honey Bee Inn segment in FFVII.
And the actual fireworks show kind of feels like they decided that the most memorable part of the date at the Gold Saucer was being able to go with Barret, so they one-upped themselves by having you date a talking Fennec fox instead instead. XD Seriously, though, there were parts where I was wondering whether they were going to reveal that Carbuncle was somehow linked to Luna or something given some of the things it was saying. Well played, Squenix.
On a related note, the fireworks show itself was ridiculously pretty and kind of seemed like a way of showing off what Luminous can do. The amount of effects on-screen at the same time... o_o
