The Issues I have with Rex not being Playable in Smash | Xenoblade/Smash Bros. Video Essay

First video:    • Why I Wanted a Playable Rex and How H...  
No, this is not a "Pyra/Mythra bad it should have been only Rex" kind of video. This is a secondary/supplementary video to my previous VE that further explains why I felt split between how XC2's representation in Ultimate turned out, and how being someone who really wanted Rex playable wasn't a pleasant experience after the reveal.

Besides, the first video should make that clear with what I wanted to see as the XC2 rep long before Pyra and Mythra were revealed. This'll also touch on something I don't think I've seen talked about in great detail on YouTube along with a few things I haven't seen documented online.

[This video was written and made before Xenoblade 3's announcement]

Spoiler skip button once prompted at 11 minute mark: 12:31 (Trust me, you won't miss anything.)

So about a month later, I'm finally done with the second half of my video essay project I decided to pursue last year. It feels great to have it out of the way, and I hope both of my videos can find their way to people who might have similar thoughts one way or another.

For longtime viewers of my stuff, I'm planning to get back into GMod work throughout this year (college permitting) now that this is finally done. Hopefully it's not too long before I can elaborate more on that.

-Special thanks to @Luucarii and @Geshtro for test watching and assistance with the script!
I'd also like to thank @TJ / Henry Yoshi and SonicEruptor for not only test watching as well, but providing feedback to help refine the video.

Most importantly, I'd like to thank Skye Bennett for setting time aside during her stream to answer my question regarding the voice direction back when I asked. It definitely helped to have something for the video, especially when I had forgotten where the facts were first mentioned in the XC2 stream, and that there'd be lots of VODs to dig through in order to find it again after being unable to find it in her Twitch clips.
