@vahnj I think the problem is that they didn't give Penelo much of a reason to even be there. In what little we get to see of her actual personality she seems smart and confident and has way more of a clue as to what's going on than Vaan.
I might also be projecting from Final Fantasy Tactics A2, which is basically the continuation of the Vaan/Penelo storyline.
@Ghost Also, FFTA2 has Vaan/Penelo in it????? I know they have their own side game but I didn't realize they were in that, I might have to play it now
@Ghost i know there's also a side game that feature vaan and penelo in it... FF12 Revenant Wings I think it's called?
@vahnj I've heard of it, but never got the chance to play it.
