Dissidia 012: Vaan Gets No Respect

From interrupting Ashe's most ponderous moments, asking Fran her age and running around as Basch's impersonator to saving Dalmasca, the greatest leading man in Final Fantasy history finds his new expedition to be not as welcoming as it seemed.

[@rapidfire9999]

Nana Lu why? It's a bad thing ask the age?

[@NegativeNanase]

+Rapid Fire It is frowned upon in social etiquette because revealing your age reveals how you're "not young" anymore, and some women see it as an insult because social stigma has surrounded the middle aged, and especially elderly as "incapable and valued less than the young ones". In personal experience, I've only had one person refuse to give me their age. Every other woman I've met in my life had no problem telling me, so the trend has died down in my personal experience.

[@eyn85]

Nana Lu what a load of crap...just to show how women are afraid of getting old and they end up disfiguring themselves with endless cosmetic surgery.

Yeah. Even those you wouldn't expect. Cecil's "Travelling the skies is no easy task" is from experience - he knows how rough flight can be and is somewhat commending Vaan for being brave enough to try. I also like Firion's "Hope you get to fly the skies someday". At least someone respects the boy!

The answer is simple. Certain if not most people always judge a character's beginning instead of judging how they progress through the story till the end. Not only Vaan and Lightning. They throw hate on Squall too ._.

[@Dadiris]

Razore' Arcwolf But Squall is an straight up asshole, and in the end of the game he just become less of an asshole, but even so, he carried his whole school in his shouders.

[@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553]

+Dadiris Agrom Well thats true for the beginning (RIP Quistis ;_;)but at Disc 3 he turned over a new leaf, at that point I even forgot he was an asshole in all of Disc 1. Proof of this was within sidequests and some points of the main story (he ven stop being an ass to Zell of all people XD). Also I can relate with Squall's introverted ways because I myself is introverted. Lastly the reason why he was always so moody (towads leadership that is) was the fact that he didnt like to fail/lose. Despite leader like qualities he was always full of uncertainties which led to fear of risking everyone hopes and lives. He's a well developed character. Not perfect... But still good

[@escha912]

AniGa - Anime, Games & More vaan is not the main protganoist, i think ashe is more main than vaan, but we see the world of ivalice with his eyes and vaan was very important for ashes development. Yeah he has no reason too help ashe but he loves adventures and he hated the empire

[@juldowry8372]

Vaan, is called a supporting protagonist. It's a story telling technique. Tidus was also somewhat a supporting protagonist to the story of Yuna.

[@AniGaAG]

Jul Dowry That's just outright incorrect; Tidus was very central to the plot and was, in many ways, more involved in it than most other characters. he fulfilled purposes other characters just could not fulfill. But Vaan? He's just... there.

[@mrguy22494]

AniGa - Anime, Games & More Problem with Tidus is that he's a designated protagonist with the motivation of his Daddy issues driving him. The story of X was about Yuna's quest to defeat Sin. So she would've made a better protagonist than Tidus, Hell even Auron who has a deeper motivation than Tidus could have been a great protagonist.

Vaan was a lovely character because he was just an average kid that got thrown into world conflict, helped save the world, and still managed to come out ok and his dreams actually came true.

[@YellowMage]

[@SparkyDaHedgehog]

***** I don't think i could be any more serious on any subject.

[@SparkyDaHedgehog]

***** See, that's exactly it. FF12 is a story that's clearly meant to be about Ashe, Balthier, and Basch. They have all the connections to the story and all the reason to fight. And yet Vaan is portrayed as the main character, regardless of his one connection to the overall story (that being hating Basch for getting his brother killed) being resolved basically right at the beginning when Basch explains he was framed by his brother. The fact that he's in that spot, when Balthier or Ashe would have made a much better main protagonist to follow, is what makes me hate him. Add in the fact that he's not a very interesting character personality wise or motivation wise, and he just comes off as wasted space. I'm not devaluing you liking the character all together though. He is a nice dude, and his goals of achieving freedom and leaving his poor life behind through becoming a Sky Pirate does at least add some depth for the character. But he would be much more appropriate in a supporting role, rather than the game trying to convince us he's the star when he's clearly not.

[@SparkyDaHedgehog]

***** My dislike of the character is less about who he is within his world, and more about him in a story telling/game development perspective. The people behind FF12 had more than enough story and character to create something great, but then for whatever reason they stuffed Vaan into the main character slot, which basically tries to tell the player the story is about him. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. He's a pointless protagonist. He has basically no reason to even be there, and the game shoves him in your face. That's why I don't like him.

[@YellowMage]

SparkyDaHedgehog Fun fact: originally, Basch was going to be the main character, but focus testing showed that young Japanese t(w)eenage gamers couldn't relate to an older, more grizzled man with some actual life experience, so they got their standard fresh-faced bishōnen instead! Which would have been fine had they not put the spotlight on him.

[@Hectictude]

Kanny Boy Just for you, I've gone out of my way to google up Vaan, and look at his starting description in the Final Fantasy wikia. Here's a particular excerpt for you: "Vaan does not play a large role in the Final Fantasy XII story, instead being a view-point and foil, observing and contrasting the actions of others who influence the unfolding events more directly." Make of that what you will. But the way I hear it, it basically says "He's not the main character. If anything, he's a supporting character, like Biggs and Wedge in most games - except for the technicality of which you can play as him throughout the entire game, instead of only for a scene or two." EDIT: And Biggs and Wedge still have more character and importance to them than Vaan.

Not sure how many in this comment watch anime but Vaan always reminded me of Simon of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He got a lot of unwarranted hate too until the second half of the series.
