skystones:

vaan’s anger is not a petty joke. it is important not to forget the occuria were literally pondering between ashe and vaan in terms of who to use in their agenda… which is why, again, he also saw ‘rasler’ in the tomb of raithwall. even then his anger was still tempting to the occuria. it rivaled ashe’s, until after jahara, where he could not see rasler at the stilshrine of miriam during his second appearance. there’s a lot of hate in this little heart that learns to fade once he accepts the truth from basch, learns relief that his brother was not part of the betrayal, and finds purpose in helping ashe alongside penelo and two supercool sky pirates.

Oh I didn’t remember that Vaan was a potential candidate =o During those last years I would try a new game again and again without playing very far (maybe until Lushu’s mine?) I don’t remember most of the game. Thanks for clearing that out !
