Just wondering but would anyone like FFXII is they made Reks the main character? The story would be a lot different but I like Reks a lot more then Vaan.

Well, we don't know alot about him anyway. I can't really say, perhaps if he didn't die it wouldoffer a different side to the story. I think I would like it better though. Reks seems to be a more interesting character and would probably have more of a bearing on the all around story (because of his ties toDalmasca's miltary). The thing about Vaan I don't like is the way he seemingly has no influence on the story in any way, I also always questioned what droveVaan to stay with the party for so long. Anyway, to answer your questionyes I think it would be more interesting.

I may have enjoyed the story a bit more if you could play as Reks, or at least not have him die in the first 10 minutes of the game so we can get to know him better. Reks seemed like he would have been an interesting character, and I can't say I was a fan of Vaan, so it wouldn't take much for him to be better for me.

vaan was pretty cool. and your right vaan was a unimportant character. but in a way he is because he wanted revenge or avenge his brother's death, Reks. he hated the bad guys.

Maybe. :?

I don't really know much about him, so I can't say if he would have been better than Vaan.

I think Reks played a just as important part of the story as Vaan, he was the majority of the reason that Vaan got involved in the plot. If it weren't for Reks, vaan would be there for no reason.

Hahaha! So did I!

Well, first I would like to say that I love the other FF games. FF XII was incredibly boring, so I didn't even finish it. If the story was less about politics and such and about something more fun and interesting then I would like the game a lot better. In my opinion, any of the other characters would be better main characters. You could follow from the princess' (Ash? I forget her name, sorry) side of the story and get a bit more perspective. Or even better, have Balthier and Fran as the main characters and let the game start with some fun sky pirating before they get caught up in the bigger story.

FF XII just didn't do it for me, I'm sad to say. It was like FF XI offline with a boring story. I also failed to feel anything for Vaan. He looks like he is 12 years old (not that that really matters, I liked Tidus even if he looks like a 15 year old ^_^) and he also had a very bad voice actor that didn't have any emotion.

This post might sound bitter, but that is not my intention. I know many people love FF XII and I have no problem with that at all. I just didn't like it personally and hope that FF XIII will be more like the FF games I have loved over the years ^_^

Well, if he got around the middle of the game and absolutely had zero interst in the game, then I believe he has a right to stop playing it if he truly feels like it.
