It smacks of needless gushing, particularly the \\\"star\\\" part. It\\\'s also not all that accurate, since Lightning doesn\\\'t really fit the trope all that well.

\\\"A protagonist (from the Greek πρωταγωνιστής protagonistes, \\\"one who plays the first part, chief actor\\\"[1]) is the main character (the central or primary personal figure) of a literary, theatrical, cinematic, or musical narrative, around whom the events of the narrative\\\'s plot revolve and with whom the audience is intended to share the most empathy.\\\"

So, yes, the main character \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' the most important. Vaan is not the main character of XII, he is the veiwpoint character, which is not always the same thing. One might argue that Lightning is the focal character (although I would disagree, she has no more or less focus than, say, Vanille), but that is also not the same thing as a main character.

You have a WordOfGod, I have a WordOfGod. Stating one is more important than the other is, well, faulty logic to say the least.
