Vaan - Page 2

I'm definitely not a fan of Vaan, but I really think that saying he has zero personality is a bit of a stretch. He did have motives to join the party, but they were very subtly presented. Though I will agree that I think of Ashe rather than him as the main character. Vaan is the main character in the sense that the player experiences the story through him, but he does not drive the action, Ashe does.
As for his dialogue, it was ok. I didn't really mind it. I really thought it was funny when he asked Fran how old was she, though.
And about his design, I didn't mind it either since it's a bit inspired on Aladdin. He's supposed to be a poor orphan so I don't picture him using luxurious clothing.

All in all, Vaan isn't the best character in the series or FFXII for that matter, but he really isn't the worst either.

Vaan imo is one of the worst FF main hero's ever, he is emo and whiney and is pretty quickly irrelevant to the main storyline.

Gimme FF good heros like Cecil, Cloud, Locke and Zidane with real charisma, personality and leadership skills over this chump anytime. XP

I was kind of expecting some really big plot twist with him while I was playing it. Srsly gaiz, how cool would it be to think that Vaan is just this whiny kid that tags along and all of a sudden this really cool thing happens and you get a whole new respect for him?
Okay, I was half kidding about that.

It's usually that way with most of the leads pffft.

I don't think he was terrible, though. I liked his design, and I didn't even mind his voie that much. He's just one of the characers that I kind of forget about, so I can't really say I minded him all that much.

Buuuuut, on the flip side, I kind of liked having a new kind of main character. He wasn't really the whole focus of the story, but I do think some of his story could have been expanded upon.

Honestly,I think it was hilarious how he let Balthier steal the spotlight from him.
It was more Balthier,and Ashe's game than Vaan's.

Which is pretty sad seeing he is actually the main character.
It was weird how I actually thought he got progressively annoying through the game.

Hes just so......vanilla. theres absolutely no personality there. Then again the rest of the cast wasnt much better.......

Vaan to me was just a simple way of bringing the party together.
Further in the game he had no reason to be there.

"I'm just along for the ride" is pretty much his best quote. It is his main reason for being there.

Even though I am sure Ashe was happy to have another person to help with the fight

Didn't really mind the grudge he held for the death of his brother but thought that maybe he was too angry/ grudgeful. He didn't know how to held his emotions, and usually he threw a ''fissy '' in the worst of moments. Which guess could give him the nametag ''annoying''. But his brother died during a Empire Attack, guess he has a right to be mad.
Don't mind him anymore. Kind of worked out that disliked him because of scary bony abs and like somebody said before -his strange voice/ the way that he spoke.

Also like him because of this reason. His cheeky attitude and baggy pants kind of gives off a ''Disney's Aladdin style '' & loved that movie. ^-^''

Vaan is one of the characters where you either loved him or hated him. In this case, I didn't take any sides, he was pretty bad when he came to express his feelings, and his costume sucks, but overall I think that he fitted in with the story completely and is quite entertaining.

Well for me, I'm no where near half done beating this game, I really like it, but Vaan really does suck. I keep telling myself, stay and play on it might get better. He is a good fighter, other than that worst FF character ever, it would be a better story playing as a chocobo

. But he is not to to bad, just I feel his actor did not give enough emotion.

FFX and FF8 had great stories, great characters that had emotions, even more so on ones that didn't have voice overs.

Vaan IMO makes FFXII none enjoyable and makes you want to play one of the older FinalFantasy's.

With little work they could have have changed the story to use Reks instead of Vann then I would have been happy except for one thing. He needs more armor I was disappointed by the facts that non of the characters wore armor in large amounts. But I am not sure why that bothered me.
