    …because he wasn’t ever actually meant to be the main character, he just happened to steal the show, like a good pirate.

        Balthier is the real protagonist, though Asche is another contender.

        Vaan is the player character, but he might as well be the silent “protagonist”/PC that gets dragged through the plot that’s led by the actual protagonist(s). He probably would’ve been better that way.

          Well, Balthier does ask him at one point why he is there and he just doesn’t have an answer for it.

          I wish Vaan were silent. Kid was annoying as fuck.
