Final Fantasy 12's original director has shot down a long-standing rumor that's persisted for over a decade.
First, the rumor itself. When Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age originally launched in 2006, plenty of players were left disappointed by protagonist Vaan, who many deemed to be dull and apathetic. From this, a rumor sprang forth than companion Basch was originally meant to be the protagonist of Final Fantasy 12, but was switched out of the role at the last minute.
