Yeah. I get that others like him. But there's also a large portion of the fanbase that hate him with a passion purely because he's quite literally a younger, whinier, cardboard cut out version of Tidus who felt pretty much shoe-horned in at the last moment because someone in the dev team thought "Oh crap! We have too many manly male characters!"
Personally I'd have found Balthier or Basch to be much more fitting, considering they're generally more competent fighters for a start, but also because they're interesting.
I'll stick to Gabranth and keep beating down on Vaan. <_<
Well what I've seen from the fanbase that many are just whiners. There is just something from every FF that isn't as good as the FF they like and the majority of the fanbase hates some FF games for several reasons of their own. Making a comparison to Tidus with Vaan seems unfitting since they have nothing in common except some of their looks, Vaan do got a personality, and he is a manly man, just look at his abs and his OP stats.
Really, Vaan just didn't connect alot to the story at all. That's the main source of the hate, the others are just ways to make him look even worse. Him lacking connection to the story makes him an uninteresting character to know about in FFXII but there are Revenant Wings were I heard he was really interesting in and he also takes part in some of the Ivalice Alliance games as well.
I don't think Vaan come in just as a representant from FFXII but I think he comes in for an representant of the Ivalice Alliance which I haven't seen Basch in with the exception of FFXII. Balthier has taken part many times before and he would really be good to play as but... Getting Rinoa instead of Squall, Vivi instead of Zidane, Guy instead of Firion, -insert more examples- in the Dissidia game would've just felt odd. :\
How old was Tidus in FFX? :huh:
