It’s not too surprising Rex isn’t the focus here. Like yeah it’s unexpected, but all the movesets I’ve seen for him or made myself weren’t really satisfactory when it came to the question of, “How do you have both Rex and Pyra on the screen at the same time while remaining faithful to the original game?”. Like if Pyra is in the background it’s nigh impossible to recreate the distance part of affinity, and if she’s in the foreground getting hit that doesn’t jive with the combat or make for a fun character either. I’m fairly sure the Sakurai presents will say something to this effect, but as a Rex, Pyra, and Xenoblade 2 fan I couldn’t be happier right now. Tbh my voice still hurts from my 4 minutes of high-pitch screaming during the reveal.
