1/10
Really, really bad. On paper, he doesn't seem like he would be so bad. There's a lot of potential there for him to be an engaging Vyse/Aladdin hybrid rip-off, but he ends up just sucking instead. Imagine if Luke Skywalker remained in "whiny brat mode" for the entire original SW trilogy instead of just the first half of A New Hope. He never saved Leia, he never became a Jedi or a member of the rebel alliance; Instead, he just watched Han do all those things.That's Vaan. Vaan is like if Aladdin met Princess Jasmine and the genie, and Jaffar, but instead of undergoing some character development chose to just remain a dumb thief instead. You keep thinking this kid is going to contribute something to the story, but he ends up just tagging along and playing second fiddle to the rest of the cast for the entirety of the game. Add to this a really terrible character design and subtract any endearing character traits and you have this stinker.
