Basch was originally written to be the game’s main character. However, the development team was afraid he wouldn’t resonate well with the series’ demographics due to the dramatic age difference between him and previous heroes, so he was replaced with Vaan and the story was rewritten around him at the last second.

    That’s why Vaan is such a Gary Stue… I KINDA like Vaan because he’s sometimes good for a laugh but come on: he’s useless...

    This explains why Vaan had such little importance in the game.

    I’m sorry, as much as I loved Final Fantasy XII, I hated Vaan. He was a immature airhead who did not evolve in ANY WAY...
