Protagonist? No, but he is ultimately the one who ends up saving the world.

Well Penelo I'm not sure but no Vaan was always going to be in the game and always going to be a party member. He just wasn't originally the point-of-view character for the player until late. I don't feel like typing out a defense for him so here's someone else that did years back.

I really liked it, probably my favorite FF game because i feel like random encounters are a chore in most of the other games.There's plenty of strategy and hidden content and you can get ridiculously overpowered if you're thorough with secret hunting early on. I found the plot confusing and boring until i read an explanation (pic related, i would never have figured out what the fuck was happening in a hundred years without this).

>Vaan REALLY does not look like a good protagonist to me
That would be a an honest complain if Vaan ever was protagonist. He's just a support character and foil for the other actually characters that are involved in the real story and world (read: Ashe (princess of Dalmasca and descendant of the Dynast-King), Balthier (ex-judge and son of Dr. Cid) and Basch (brother to Noah/Gabranth and catalyst of the party getting together). Also, pic related.
