Reks

So, does anyone else think they killed off Reks alittle too early? He was a much bigger role than Vaan was. =/.

Your thoughts?

nah. reks death is what drives vaan along with his longing for adventure. if reks had lived longer then vaan would have looked after him and not stolen the magicite.

but you could have reks replace vaan, reks gets better and seeks revenge for almost being killed, and by preventing the war he keeps his brother in dalmasca safe

I agree. The storyline would have been much different if his death was staged later on.

Although if he were to be killed off later on, then where would he be killed?

He would be killed sometime later by Vayne. xD.

I just wanted too see more of Reks instead of Vaan. I mean, Vaan was cool and all but I actually prefer Reks over Vaan.

At least they could've made it seemed like he died and he came back towards the end. haha.

We don't really see much of Reks. We only see him in the middle of a war so how can you tell what his real personality is like?

I don't think he means personality-wise, Gabranth. Because I'm with Hayate on this one - I actually prefer Reks than Vaan. Personality has nothing to do with it. It's merely based on one's preferences.

Granted, we got to play Reks in the beginning. I don't know what he's like as his life ended too early, but I definitely wanted to see more of him and was quite disappointed when the focus switched on to Vaan.

I do have to disagree about Reks having a bigger role than Vaan though. =/

if they had killed reks off later i think they should have done it either of the fights with gabranth or Cid but preferably which ever's first encounter comes first

I think maybe the reason I am geared toward Reks more is because of how little we know of him and I want to find out more. That's probably it.

Since they are making these spin-offs from Ivalice maybe there will be game where is this war main focus and you play whole games as Reks.

I liked the fact they tried to fool Reks is the main character but then he surprisingly gets killed. Well I knew he isn´t main character, I had seen pictures about Vaan and Ashe.

Why so? I think they're both pretty rubbish.
Reks only exists as an auxilliary to highlight the Basch/Gabranth thing, the war, and the death of the King, in my opinion.
Vaan doesn't really effect the story at all, as far as I'm concerned. With a few minor trivial edits, you could have had a story sans Vaan completely.
