Vaan vs. Tidus - THUNDERDOME

[Skyblade]

Tidus is whiny and annoying, and the worst thing you can say about Vaan (abs aside) is that he's just kind of there and doesn't do a whole lot.

Give me someone who's incapable of being annoying because he didn't really do anything over someone who I wanted to see die for most of the game.

You effectively sell off any right to a decent story when you side with the character who is two dimensional and pointless. We might as well have controlled Montblanc sitting in the guild for all the relevance he had.

Not very relevant is always, ALWAYS, preferable to a character so awful he actively detracts from my ability to enjoy a game.

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
