Once that was finally realized he did get a lot more interesting, the second half Jin was a really solid character.
But for most of the first area and a good chunk of the second one he is basically comatose from the culture shock and just completely devoid of anything. For good reason I suppose, but it hurts the game's first impression a lot.
Its very much a game where I recommend people skip all the collectables in the first area and just shotgun the side quests and then missions to get the game moving, because if you get distracted chasing foxes and charms you'll burn out before anything good happens.
