Is he in the game?

Apparently. Wonder when it was announced.

Here's the scan for proof.

Of all the cooler FFXII characters that could have shown up in Dissidia...

He is the protagonist of the series, like him or not.
He's basically just an older Hope...and despite that neither of them are more annoying then Tidus.

I kinda preferred Vaan in Final Fantasy XII. I'm not sure why everyone hates him a lot.

Because he was not an actual protagonist, more like a sidekick, an observer ; he has no relation to the plot, no important role, except to be the main character in the cities

he is just the shopping guy for the rest of more important characters :p

- FF 12 isn't a series, it's part of one
- He wasn't the main character at all, you just saw everything happen from his point of view. Story was centered on Basch & Ashe for the most part.

Hell, him & Penelo would've never end up in 12 if it wasn't for someone's ridiculous idea halfway through development, something about Basch being too buff & grizzled for Japan's market so they needed some pretty boy metrosexual on the cover.

Right. Whats up with that?

If he has an alternate of his FFTA2 outfit, it will not only be the first thing I'll beeline for once it's available, but it will NEVER COME OFF.

This I swear.

To clarify, I don't really dislike Vaan. It's just that his involvement in the story overall was peripheral at best and I feel that fans definitely took a stronger liking to Fran and Balthier. It's obviously their choice who they include, it just wouldn't have been mine.

Aren't grizzled men (beard, msucles, rough voice and stuff) associated with gaijins (foreigners) or barbarians in Japan?

I know that was told that these features where quite common with the Ezo/Ainu japanese folk.

And since the Ainu are kinda like Japan's native Americans... That seems plausible.

Best description of him so far xD
But you know what, I would like to play with Vayne better, that would be awesome!

And lo, it is his "Third Form". I can only hope there's not too much trouble in getting to it.
