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

Well, Balthier does ask him at one point why he is there and he just doesn’t have an answer for it.
This is peak Final Fantasy
I found it fun.
And reinforces the sentiment that Vaan really isn’t the main character.
“For the XP and loot, man, what else??”
I wish Vaan were silent. Kid was annoying as fuck.
Haaaard agree. I dropped the game halway through because of how annoying he was.
