It certainly subverted my expectations when Rex's "I love you and all you guys" line wasn't a gentle rejection/friendzoning towards Nia—he was being very literal.
I think it was originally meant to be, but the reaction from people changed their minds on it.
I base this entirely on the original end screen being just Mythra/Pyra and then the updated one like 4 months later adding Nia in. I think she just ended up being way more popular than they expected and they adapted accordingly (which is why she is the one who shows up in 3).
