Yes, Basch was originally meant to be the main character, and then they decided to change it to Vaan because they thought Basch wasnt Japanese enough for the Japanese auidence. i think Basch would've been very well recieved in the west however. i dont think it was just that, there were disagreements with the story between the Playonline team and the FF Tactics team. and switching directors halfway for any RPG, would result in many consistancy problems anyway imo. 

well i have no idea what Nintendo will do, because i cant really compare RPGs to anything they have in their library at the moment, but if its like DQ8, FF12 or Lost Odyssey then it will be very well done.

Yeah most notably I'm referencing Metroid Other M, the script could have been a little better at the beginning, as a result the voice acting could bug you.  Personally I think after the intro the script picked up and the people fell into their characters, so the voice acting was well done, but it was obviously inconsistent, and having that intro turned a lot of gamers off for the rest of the game or made them stop playing completely.
