I can't believe that people hate Tidus1 so much that they're willing to to count Vaan as the better character2.
I honestly find Tidus and Vaan's voice actors to be incredibly similar.
Funny thing is I once saw Vaan's voice actor on an episode of Veronica mars and instantly knew it was him!
I really like both, I think X and XII are both easily up for greatest game ever made. If I had to pick one maybe Tidus, just because the emotional connection is so much stronger. Vaan's pretty dope though.
If Tidus didn't exist, maybe I wouldn't have had to play FFX.
*Sigh*
The Occuria keep showing Vaan and Ashe visions of their loved ones, "killed" by the Empire to fuel their hatred of it. Vaan was supposed to act as their failsafe if they couldn't get Ashe to do what they wanted. They did not know, however, that Vaan would be the first to overcome his lust for revenge (hence he stopped seeing Reks' vision earlier than Ashe stopped seeing Rasler's). Him not seeing the vision anymore was what made Ashe question her desire for revenge. Basically, if Vaan wasn't here and didn't reach his own conclusions, Ashe could have easily become Ivalice's equivalent of Hitler. To those who said Vaan was completely pointless - did we even play the same game?
As for Tidus - I don't mind him being an annoying :bou::bou::bou::bou:. What I hate about him is his forced character development. One event does not make your personality do a 180, especially if you were a spoiled brat all your life. I think Vaan's (unvoiced) thoughts that make him reach conclusions about himself are far more real that Tidus' switch to a selfless knight from a self-obsessed idiot. I know I've assessed myself the way Vaan did numerous times and I've yet to do something like Tidus.
Vaan FTW.
Vaan's translation makes sense from start to finish. *Punts FFX for ruining the great mortality reveal*
Similar to White Wizard, I felt Vaan was more plausible - if not quite the same entertainment value or self-assumed knighthood. Worst part of Vaan was his nose...
Not even close. Even if you can't stand Tidus, at least he makes sense as a main character within the context of the narrative. Vaan is to the story of XII as tits are to a bull.
I really like both of them :shobon:. Vaan's abs creep me out and Tidus laugh creeps me out but I liked them.
