Johann said: @Zexen: I always say bad shit about Penelo, so count me out of that "not paying atention" stuff. And your post just rambled on about Ashe and Balthier and forgot to stay on the subject of him being a worst character compared to Zidane. The problem you have with Zidane is the not the fact that he was a bad character (and I do agree with you on that), but the fact the he was in the spotlight in FFIX, and Vaan wasn't in XII. In your mind not being the main character excuses you of having a (well developed) personality, as opposed to a main character, which has to be great.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why you ike Suikoden games so much. A few well developed characters and 100 shitly developed ones. |
Vaan was developed fine. Given that his original motivation is just revenge for his brother, watching him grow as a person is actually very interesting - particularly in his relationship to Basch, and then to Gabranth. The way he acts as Ashe's conscience throughout the game was very nice, too.

You know if Vaan was the main character in a tales game you would shun him to bloody hell and you know that.
