Well now, it's been a hot minute since I've seen a Xenoblade 2 post here. And since I have hundreds of hours into the franchise... Spoiler warning for what's up ahead.
Cracks Knuckles
Pyra is everything Mythra wishes she could be, she was unconsciously created to fix the flaws that Mythra unconsciously knew she had. After the unintentional death and destruction she caused, she essentially 'killed' herself and created someone who she deep down wanted to be.
Pyra is a lot of things that Mythra isn't. Mythra was never good with people, so Pyra is sweeter and easier to get along with. Mythra couldn't control her power and destroyed continents unintentionally in the Aegis war with Malos, so Pyra is more subdued and she's in full control of her flames all of the time. Mythra isn't a very good cook... Seriously, the woman would probably find a way to burn a bowl of cereal... And Pyra is naturally a good cook and even doubles as a lighter.
Mythra's insecurities are the reason Pyra exists, and yet, over the course of the story you can watch in real time as the differences between her and Pyra start to close a little bit. Sure she's more feisty, but you get to watch her form bonds with the party and eventually with the help of Rex she finds purpose in going on in life. She's a wonderful character who's character growth is constantly overshadowed by a few anime-trope scenes that take place in the infamous chapter 4.
So, if you choose Pyra, it basically confirms Mythra's fears that despite how she's grown as a person, you still prefer who she created as her 'Ideal self'. And that's a little sad when you think about it...
I choose Mythra.
Ok that's like really in depth, pretty nice I'd say. I haven't gotten through much of the game so I can't say anything other then pyra right yet tbh
