Well … most of what they do is because of Pyra/Mythra and in Torna he is not present. So in total (basegame+dlc) I think XC2 is more the story of the aegis then the one of rex. Does not mean he is irrelevant to it ….

yeah but what role would rex play then? Fast&weak and strong&slow are two extremes what makes the char fun to play. A middle ground would only worsen the design imo. Currently I am fine with how things went. Also with Pyra/Mythras inclusion they have a mich higher chance of appearing in future...

I hope they dont get nerved to low tier ..... saw some pros complaining about them beeing OP and "the new bayonetta".....

Dont worry - with so many FE Chars in game one can confuse robin with lucina ^^. But the point still stands that previously Nintendo did care about such things .... see for example the spirit train map.

I think the reason why arsene was ok is that he cannot be interacted with (outside of providing additional hitboxes for joker) and is fully attached to joker. Meaning that the physics engine can ignore him and they dont need to include an AI for Arsene to react to various situations. So if the...

That is still the best Aegis in smash meme I saw because of how likely it is ^^. For me personally I am a little bit sad that the XC2 Battle System will never be incorporated in Smash (Like Arms and Minecrafts mechanics were ... ), but as Aegis is one of my favorit chars in the game, their...

It makes sense from a game design perspective yes. Having a full character change appearance makes the stance much easier to see which stance the Character is in then only changing the weapon or some background character (which would need to be deactivated in 8 player anyways) which makes the...

They could do that but then Pyra/Mythra as playable char makes 100 times more sense. It is much clearer when the whole char changes to indicates the stance then just the weapon. Also the stance change comes from switching blades ... to not even show them does not make much sense.

Lets just agree to disagree on this particular topic. Well Pyra/Mythra are unique from other swordies because of the swap mechanic. Technically Rex could have the same moveset but then it makes much more sense to have Pyra/Mythra as stance swapping chars where everyone can see directly and...

Just curious - what is it that would make Solo Rex (Without Pyra or any other blade) interesting? From the moveset I imagine it to be quite similiar to Shulk (-monado arts and + grappling hook of course) or other longswordies. Or is it the character itself?

Well actually in the joker thread there were some guys who complaint about that. And that Byleth got an quite uninspired moveset just went under in the roaring storm that was „Another FE Swordsman!!!!1111“. Nevertheless, Sakurai came to the conclusion that the tag-team, affinity-proximity based...

You cant just remove Pyra when she has some mechanic attached to her be it affinity or something else. Trainers can be removed because their only purpose is to look good. And having Rex without any interaction with pyra/mythra wouldnt really represent XC2 also. Btw, do we have someone here...

Oh I didnt even knew that ...... but in retrospective things get a lot clearer now ...

Thats the definition of online speculation. I think for more than 90% of the speculations on this forum we have no evidence.

Because even it is not broken it can always be better. Movesets of the veterans feel quite old in comparisions to additions of ultimate and especially the dlc in my opinion. Breaking with old traditions can create great products even if they initial have some scepticism. Just look at BotW or...
