Mayb it would have been better, as much as I think people disliking Vagrant Tale leading them to choosing a effinate character was a pretty bad call.. Vaan perspective put an empathisis on how many people's lives were lost because Basch decided that signing the treaty was equal to treatchery and slayed the King. I consider that a good thing. On the other hand, if Reks and Vaan were cut out of the game I think we would be more properly introduced to the live Lord Rasler, we may even gotten the chance to control him in the prologue instead of Reks.
