It's also not helping Shulk and Rex in this game that they're just very boring to play. Shulk's mechanics rely on the combos, which I find difficult to get off b/c I like playing as a healer, and Rex does so many things he's just tedious to play as, and it's better to leave him on AI even though he never stays in fields.

Like... I wasn't excited to see them again, and I don't care for their presence. I just wish they'd gone ahead and skipped a generation, made the Liberators the children of the original playable characters, and made the obligatory kids their grandchildren, same as Matthew. I honestly wonder if that was the plan before decided to put in Franchise Management instead.
