    Default Who Should Have Been FFXII's Protagonist?

    Everyone complains about Vaan being the main man, so who would you have preferred.

    I'd say Ashe fits best

    Not sure why you put in "someone else" when adding one more option would have been enough for all 6 party members

    but ashe is the only sensible choice anyway

    Voting for Ashe. She's who I controlled outside of towns.

    There's a reason why Vaan was chosen as the 1a protagonist in this game. He's supposed to represent the n00bz "wide eyed view" of the world outside of his little one.

    I always considered Ashe the main character, really.

    Same here, and it doesn't disrupt the flow of the plot at all by that point, which is why I voted for her here.

    Balthier would be a close second because he's cool.

    I always thought it should be Basch. But looking at the voting, apparently not. I don't know why, but I guess it was just his story that held the most depth. My second choice would be Ashe.

    Vaan would have been a fine protagonist if they had remembered he was still there after the first portion of the game.

    Other than that - Basch or Ashe are the obvious choices.

    Definitely Ashe. Though really, if you had just Ashe, Basch and Balthier you could probably make the game with just those three characters. As much as I love FFXII, they didn't really think things through with Vaan, Penelo or Fran.

    I liked Basch the best of the characters, but I always imagined Ashe would be more fitting.

    I consider Ashe to be the main character. It is her story after all. Her choices, her home, her people.

    Vaan and Penelo are just along for the ride.

    You could really boil it down to just Ashe and Basch.

    Agreed with this. I thought Vaan was fine until he became obsolete in the second half.
