Tidus has way better collarbones.
Vaan's are all narrow and stick up out of his body like they're tall.

I don't like Vaan at all, but at least he's not Tidus.
As a character, he isn't awful. He's annoying, yes. But his characterization is solid and generally well written.
Whenever they tried to give Vaan a personality or "issues", though, it always felt forced. Vaan never felt like a character to me. And I take far more issue with that than I do with annoyances. Heck, if annoying people were that problematic, I'd be upset at most of the world

My gosh was that scene horrible.Quote:

You can't be a stupid idiot for a hundred hours and then just suddenly realize and admit you're a stupid idiot. You need something to happen to trigger that sort of realization. Then you have to accept it, which is itself a lengthy journey. And THEN you can admit it. Once you've, y'know, actually grown up. You have to actually grow. Vaan never does, he just gets a "eureka" moment, which felt forced, and badly written.
On the plus side, it was memorable. I don't remember much of the individual lines of the script, but even though it's been years, I can still hear him sayingIt was badly written enough to stick with me. IT WILL NOT GO AWAY.Quote:
I'd say stuff like "I'm gonna be a sky pirate"... or some other stupid thing.
Sure you can, I do it like all the time! Especially when I was seventeen. Anyway I think this is actually a good scene showing how he's moving on and growing up. He's trying to get his trout together and help his peeps. Really this is the best opportunity a young Dalmascan from the slums can get I think :p
