If you think Vaan was wimpy, check out the guy who did Vaan's voice: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002810/

Anyway, I'm kind of in between on Vaan being wimpy or not. He was wimpy, but I think he was an improvement over Tidus (see the voice of Tidus: http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.ne...noldTaylor.jpg)

I would say that James Arnold Taylor (the voice of Tidus) would beat up on Bobby Edner (voice of Vaan) though. Maybe that should be a new poll: battle of the voice overs

Just for comparison sake, let's look at the voice of Cloud Strife (from Kingdom Hearts/Advent Children): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0123733/. He would dominate all, hands down. Kind of funny how the voice overs kinda look like the characters.

PS - This post went off topic real quick, I apologize.

I would agree with you on the Balthier character was the best out of the FFXII series. Vaan...even though he did seem a bit wimpy, that was only because he really didn't A. Know what was going on and B. Ever been out of Rabnastre.

But remember this, there's more to Balthier's character than Basch's ever will be.

Gotta agree with you on that except for maybe like, a FEW voice overs LOL! And yeah, I thought I was going to snort soda through my nose! :lmao: That just totally caught me off-guard. I love that quote and now refer to Cloud as "my bad mama jamma" :lolz:
