In Japanese, Homura means flame, and Hikari means light.

SPOILERS FOR XC2 Pneuma sure is underrated, as much as I like Pyra and Mythra, Pneuma is the real aegis and the best of both worlds, I would have preferred for her to be a combined permanent form of them, or at the very least to have her alone come back at the end of the game instead of both Pyra and Mythra separately.
Pneuma isn't the true Aegis though, she's something even greater in a way Remember, Mythra was the only person until she traumatized herself so hard with the whole Everything that Pyra's birth was part of the coping, Pneuma didn't exist Pneuma is a temporary fusion, a way to be more, that combines what Pyra and Mythra have both gained through life into something more than the sum of their parts, but she's still Pyra and Mythra, and they are still valid people who still exist, all three can and should co-exist
Agreed. I think the voice actors did a pretty good job (for the most part) with what they were given, but it could have been fantastic if they had better direction. However, I think Malos's voice acting was fantastic throughout.
funny, that ending remind me a bit of Xenosaga 3 and now i cannot see other thing than similarities between pneuma and kos mos ( even if she is an optional blade in the game).
Such a shame that Mythra outperforms her in gameplay. She's so cool, but only a temporary powerup, so she deserves to be the unquestionably best blade in the game.
Weaponized Hatsune Miku, activate! Behold the power of anime!!! Okay I'm just kidding. I love Pneuma and her very calm personality and voice. Also Jin absolutely getting his a*s beat in her debut is the perfect way to show how strong she is.
Love her so much, she definetly looks like hatsune miku, but her Equipment (and Rex's) give me big Gundam Unicorn vibe. The Luminous Crystal Unicorn Gundam after saving a colony with Psycho-Field from Last ep of mobile suit gundam UC:0096
They made my Girl Dirty with only that much of a screen time Damn it Anyways I love Pneuma So Much,She’s basically your Typical Anime Waifu that is cute and Cool at the same time. She’s Literally a Planetary Destruction type of OP Also She and Rex just Made Ash And Greninja Battle Bond Type of Twist and I am down for it
Pneuma is my favorite female character of the gaming! Her design is beautiful and imponent she mixes the best of Pyra and mythra And she’s extremely powerful enough power to take down even the most powerful enemies! Is an increíble character 💚 Also I’m the only one who thinks pneuma fits perfectly In evangelion?
Rex's English voice is such a dud imo. Don't know wether it was the VA or the voice coordination but he managed to get the emotion of his voice wrong in like 98% of his lines.
pneuma is full power. mythra is limited. pyra is very limited. part of why she creates lower powered versions is because she is scared of destroying too much
My sister: Brother 🤗! Me: Sister 🤗! Me: I made some new friends along the way! Pyra mythra and pneumonia together: Oh hi it's so nice to meet you ☺ 😊 💕 💖 🤗🤗🤗! My sister: 🤗!
I mean thematically she's the Master Blade because Pneuma is a Blade, which are not exclusively sword-based waifus. They can also be male and be tied to non-sword weaponry. Thus, not the Master Sword.

Why is it that every time Rex screams it sounds completely flat, passionless, and without effort? The director and voice actor should be ashamed. If/when I play this game it's really going to take me out of it to hear him in those moments - which is a shame because all the other English VA's sound pretty great. Maybe it's because they don't have those "anime protagonist scream" moments.
If I remember correctly every single cast or most for the English voice acting was their first time ever voice acting, I’m guessing for Rex it’s also half because of his accent
I'd say the voice actors did really well for what they were given. It's likely lackluster direction, lack of context they were given in the process of translating and recording, and also the animation was made for the japanese version and unchanged for the English version.
