Hehe, but like I said in the beginning of the thread some point like in other FF games the main charaters always have a past that puts them in the story and for some reason they are a lot stronger, For example: FFX Tidus has his dad which puts him in the story. So, to change the story line to fit Reks maybe this is how it could have gone (this is my oppinion). After Reks gets stabbed and Vaan knows about it you play as Vaan and go find Reks early in the game, over Vaan's rage he finds Reks with the (look alike Basch) Vaan attacks him but gets struck down, so Reks gets back on and trys to avenge what just happened and goes after him as well, but get knocked on contious (sorry for spelling I ain't good at it) and they think they both are dead. But Reks wakes up and sees that Vaan is dead and goes on through the story like that. I didn't want to make this post to long even though it is long now, well to long for me to re-read anyways, lol.
