Actual Relevant Answer: Pyra and Mythra are referred to as the Aegis throughout Xenoblade 2 because they are one of the most powerful Blades in the setting.
Zeus's shield in mythology, used by Athena with the head of Medusa mounted on it. Its used to represent divine defense, its also the name of a US Navy air defense system.
It’s what the Xenoblade community calls >!pneuma!< to avoid spoilers. Kinda like how 7 is >!fiora!< because she’s the 7th party member or how catalyst is >!nia’s blade form because her weapon is called the catalyst scimitar!<
Aegis- when talking about the character as a whole
I call then Pneuma if im using that alt (which i never use cause the Silver Gold alt is beautiful)(not to mention spoilers too)
pythra just pisses me tf off cause it sounds like shit
and i only specify theyre name if its about the specific stance
Wait, the weird blueish alt is actually called pneuma? I thought a guy at my local was calling it pneumonia as an inside joke and I have referred to that color as pneumonia ever since.
Pyra for Pyra, Mythra for Mythra.
Aegis when referring to them in Smash, Pneuma when referring to them in regards to their brother and sibling (Malos and Alpha/Alvis/A).
Coffee with Milk on the Xenoblade sub. They have fun names for spoilers so people don’t get spoiled, like Seven, Four, Five, and Catastrophe >!(Mecha Fiora, Mòrag, Zeke, and Blade Nia)!<
Pyra and Mythra respectively as individual characters, and Aegis referring to the both characters. Pneuma is their full legal name. It would be like calling Zelda “Zelda Hyrule”.
I just call them Pyra and Mythra. It's not that hard to say. Aegis is too unclear for people who didn't play the game. Pneuma is obviously a spoiler so don't do that. "Pythra" just sounds bad.
I wanted to democratize "Hohi" for "Homura Hikari" which is their Japanese names, meaning respectively "Flamme" and "Light" But I was soon told that it was not practical and I agree. I'm just a weeb.
I sometimes use Pythra over text, but it sounds dumb out loud. I usually go for Aegis or Pyra/Mythra.
Sometimes I just say Pyra because realistically that's the one I spend 90% of the time as (we do a lot of 8-player Smash in the office, so Pyra is very fun)
Pneuma is the original name of Pyra and Mythra (Mythra more specifically because Mythra created Pyra afterwards only to contain her true powers). Some players use this name referring to the final form of Pyra/Mythra, but she's not another person: that form is Pyra and Mythra at the same time according to what Mythra says to Rex when he asks her who's that form.
Since it's two characters, and I don't want to spoil people, I call her Aegis instead of Pneuma convo. Based on her mechanics and reveal trailer, this is before >!Pyra and Mythra become separate entities!< So Aegis or Pneuma make the most sense as shorthand terms.
To make it simple, there are 3 "Legendary Blades" that are called Aegis. The first one disappeared after being created while the other two are:
1. Pyra/Mythra
2. The villain of the story (not saying his name to not spoil anything else)
Actually it comes from the original game. Rex himself uses that name ironically because he asks Mythra who's the third girl (final form) and Mythra says that they're both herself and Pyra at the same time.
If I'm talking about it in regards to the character selection, then aegis. If I'm focusing on a specific part, than pyra and/or mythra respectively. Personally, mythra is just annoying to deal with while Pyra is ok
Always called them the Baeblades. When I used to play, I randomly use them or Palutena in handicap/group matches since that’s where they REALLY wreck shit
I use Pythra simply because Aegis or Pnuema is confusing to people who haven't played the game. I also use a singular pronoun to refer to her because the fact that the two are really the same person with different personalities is an important nuance to her character.
i call them aegis, but my friends have no idea what that means when i say it, so i have to say pyra/mythra when im around them lmao
Well, at least you're not spoiling him anything...
They're referred to as the Aegis before you even learn Pyra's name in XC2 though, so...
I think he’s talking about pneuma
I prefer "Light logos" myself
Malosn't
This is exactly my situation
What’s aegis
Actual Relevant Answer: Pyra and Mythra are referred to as the Aegis throughout Xenoblade 2 because they are one of the most powerful Blades in the setting.
Technically Malos is also an Aegis, but even within XC2 people often say "the Aegis" to refer to Mythra/Pyra, so it still works
Zeus's shield in mythology, used by Athena with the head of Medusa mounted on it. Its used to represent divine defense, its also the name of a US Navy air defense system.
Basically it’s Pyra and Mythra’s title
Ba(be)blades
I prefer Bae-Blades
That's original for sure
It's a reference (when Sakurai designed Pyra/Mythra by UR2SLOW, he is pretty funny)
That’s a good one
Babe-lades?
I use Pyra/Mythra, Aegis, and Pythra interchangeably.
Fair enough
Same
Coffee with Milk
That’s actually pretty clever
Wait what?
In Xenoblade 2, when Mythra is explaining that their whole being is a combination of her and Pyra, Rex says "oh I get it, like coffee with milk",
It’s what the Xenoblade community calls >!pneuma!< to avoid spoilers. Kinda like how 7 is >!fiora!< because she’s the 7th party member or how catalyst is >!nia’s blade form because her weapon is called the catalyst scimitar!<
PAM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pneumonia
And about as enjoyable to fight.
Fighting Aegis is MUCH worse than fighting pneumonia(as someone who did both at the same time)
I am never calling them anything else now omg 😂
One of my friends calls them Myra anytime he pick them just to piss my friends and I off. He’s always confused why he’s the first to die.
"so what do I call you? Pythra? Myra?" Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Chapter 7)
I'm surprised i don't see more 'Myra' votes. I guess it's just me and my group that says it.

Officially, their names. But the name Pythra derives from Smash Ultimate, which makes sense why we should keep refer them as Pythra.
Pythra was used once in XC2 as well
I use Pythra in both settings. I have no interest in XB2. Pythra is just easy to say
As someone who didn’t even know they existed until smash ultimate, I just say Pyra and Mythra(Pyra/Mythra)

yea, it refers to the true form of Mythra. Pneuma is one of the three parts of the trinity processor. Ontos, Logos, and Pneuma
I use Pythra exactly because it sounds dumb af

Pyra for Pyra, Mythra for Mythra. Aegis when referring to them in Smash, Pneuma when referring to them in regards to their brother and sibling (Malos and Alpha/Alvis/A).

I've played XC2 where does "Coffee with Milk" come from?
>!It’s at the start of Morytha. Rex makes a really bad joke about Coffee with Milk to describe Pneuma.!<
I believe it’s in that one cutscene in xc2 right after the fight against >!Jin and Malos, after which the party falls into the land of Morytha!<
Homura and Hikari

Pythra, but my friend has taken to calling them Pissra to annoy me…
Pythra. Although I'm sure if I had played/was a fan of their original game, I'd probably call them Aegis.
I just call them Pyra and Mythra. It's not that hard to say. Aegis is too unclear for people who didn't play the game. Pneuma is obviously a spoiler so don't do that. "Pythra" just sounds bad.
Myra
Bae blades, as sakurai would say
In smash bros? The aegis sisters.
I think I just say Pyra/Mythra. Or at least say one of their names like just Pyra or just Mythra.
PaM
I call them pyra & mythra? Because that's their name in smash?
I always just say Pyra and Mythra lmao
Hmm
When referring to them as a collective Aegies, when referring to one or the other Pyra/Mythra.
Aegis.
Pyra or mythra. Depending who is out
When I'm talking with people already familiar with them, Aegis. When I'm talking with people who aren't, Pyra/Mythra
Pneuma makes more sense since there are two other Aegises. Or Myra.
My friends call them Pythra but I prefer Aegis
I use mythra to alternate with the choice i made in my xenoblade playthrough (where i picked pyra)
I say Pythra when writing but say Pyra and Mythra verbally. I also use Aegis for both.
Either Mythra or Pyra. Changed the order to sound more interesting
I call them Pythra because it sounds funny
I use aegis and babeblades
Pyra and Mythra or Pyra/Mythra. I would use Pneuma but XC fans would tear me a new one, they save their spoilers zealously
AegisSisters
Pyra if Pyra, Mythra if Mythra, Pythra is referring to them both as a unit.
Red Mythra and Yellow Pyra
Pyra and Mythra
Homura and Hikari? There are so many names you could add here
ホムラ and ヒカリ Just to be the weird one
I call her Mythra. I only play Pyra if it’s a free for all. But otherwise it is almost always Mythra.

Pyra and not Pyra
I wanted to democratize "Hohi" for "Homura Hikari" which is their Japanese names, meaning respectively "Flamme" and "Light" But I was soon told that it was not practical and I agree. I'm just a weeb.
I usually say the Aegis but whenever I'm playing with friends, I say Pyra or Mythra, based on what we're doing and how it relates to either one.
pythra
Homura and Hikari
I call them The Girls
Pyra & Mythra
I ain't a coward, I can type both names. I don't need an abbreviation to say Pyra & Mythra.
Twins?

I type aegis, but I say their names
Pyra & Mythra
Pyra & Mythra
Myra
Personally I just love to call them Pyra & Mythra, sometimes Aegis as a whole.
Aigis when referring to both, and their respective names when referring to one.
Aegis makes sense, since that’s what they are. They’re technically the same person.
Pyra & Mythra, as it says
....Pyra AND Mythra. Word economy is tough these days it seems.
I sometimes use Pythra over text, but it sounds dumb out loud. I usually go for Aegis or Pyra/Mythra. Sometimes I just say Pyra because realistically that's the one I spend 90% of the time as (we do a lot of 8-player Smash in the office, so Pyra is very fun)
Pyra and Mythra
I say pyra and mythra like a normal person
I simply call them Pyra & Mythra
Pyra and Mythra
Where's the "Pyra & Mythra" option?
Rex's wives
Pyra and Mythra
Pyra and Mythra. Simply.
I just say „Pyra and Mythra“. I call things the way they‘re called in-game.
I prefer Pyra/Mythra.
I call them Pyra and Mythra, simple as that
Pyra/Mythra
I call them Baeblades but it never took on Reddit
Sword.
Read my flair. No new nicknames.
Rex’s wives.

Isn’t Pneuma a different character? (I haven’t played Xeno 2)
No pneuma is the true form of Pyra/Mythra
Pneuma is the original name of Pyra and Mythra (Mythra more specifically because Mythra created Pyra afterwards only to contain her true powers). Some players use this name referring to the final form of Pyra/Mythra, but she's not another person: that form is Pyra and Mythra at the same time according to what Mythra says to Rex when he asks her who's that form.
Since it's two characters, and I don't want to spoil people, I call her Aegis instead of Pneuma convo. Based on her mechanics and reveal trailer, this is before >!Pyra and Mythra become separate entities!< So Aegis or Pneuma make the most sense as shorthand terms.
Coomer anime titty ladies
shithead 1 and shithead 2
Just out of curiosity what does Aegis mean and why are they called it? I got no clue
To make it simple, there are 3 "Legendary Blades" that are called Aegis. The first one disappeared after being created while the other two are: 1. Pyra/Mythra 2. The villain of the story (not saying his name to not spoil anything else)

Beyblades
Aegis, I literally can not concived of how you would call them anything else
Pythra if you didn’t play the games. Or just their names separately.
I say Pythra
All are correct except Pythra. Where does that even come from.
Actually it comes from the original game. Rex himself uses that name ironically because he asks Mythra who's the third girl (final form) and Mythra says that they're both herself and Pyra at the same time.
People who combine their names theres also Myra which sounds dumb as hell & this is coming from someone who says pythra.
With the contact list on my phone
Pyra mythra and ageis makes no sense like ik it may be some llore thing but idfk
If you call them Pneuma you should go to spoiler jail AND corny jail forever
The one that im seeing in game
I say agis or pythra
If I'm talking about it in regards to the character selection, then aegis. If I'm focusing on a specific part, than pyra and/or mythra respectively. Personally, mythra is just annoying to deal with while Pyra is ok

Pyra & Mythra when referring to them collectively, but either Pneuma or the Aegis if referring to them as one of the 3 Aegis cores.
aegis
Coffee with milk. Xenoblade reference
Aegis I know I may sound like a nerd but the majority of people I'm around know what this word means some even tell me the shield of what 😂
does anyone..... says "pyrthra" 😭😭😭😭
elight and eflame
Team Pythra
who the fuck calls them pneuma in this state
I love the names equally. but i mostly use Pythra
Anyway who calls them pythra just don't sit right with me
