Zidane wasn't... imo...
Anyway, I don't mind Vaan. He doesn't have much connection to the overall story, but, like Tidus in X, he's the best one to tell the story through, because he knows the least about the overall plot at the beginning (except Panelo, but she's pretty much a naggy, yet somehow more attractive Vaan) so it feels like you learn about things at almost the same rate as Vaan.
