Oh god... I'm at work right now and trying so hard not to laugh at that. That would be truly awesome. I picture the cutscene for winning the contest as being Reno passing out drunk off his ass on the floor and Rude just shaking his head and hauling him out of the bar over his shoulder to sleep...
I agree, I'm not sure I'd like to see them team up, per se... I'd rather it be something more competitive, but not just outright fighting them. Maybe with some moral decisions to be made over the course of the sidequest that influence how the Turks react to you later in the game (e.g. Elena is...
My first playthrough, I was honestly convinced Sephiroth was a woman the first time he showed up on screen, and continued thinking that until somewhere mid-way through disc 1.
I really wish I could remember which scene it was that made me go "Holy shit! That's a guy?".
Funny... The Reno in my head is more naked... ;)
It seems to be a common thing with Square Enix's characters, though. If they're young, they're going to look it. I don't think Reno looks 12... early 20s, maybe late teens at a stretch. Cloud doesn't look any older than Reno, to me (actually...

Would I still like him if they hadn't prettified him? Most likely...
When they released the Reno Play Arts figure, I thought I had everything I ever wanted. Sadly, not the case, so I still lurk on eBay way too much than is healthy.
I just recently bought the Reno/Rude mini figure from the anniversary Potion drink... thing. And the Sephiroth mini figure. And...
Same here... I just recently grabbed it from the Playstation store, and have intentionally put off continuing until this weekend because I'm coming up on that part of the game.
That's kind of awesome. I was just thinking about ACF the other day. Kind of what drove me to see what was up in the FF7 community these days, and next thing I know, I end up here. :)
The Kalm flashback was, by far, my least favorite part of the game. Pure exposition, next to no interaction beyond clicking through dialog, and no way to speed things up.
I realize there's a need to convey backstory, but my god...
