Seregios being a day 1 patch seems like the easiest solution to recent developments...
It makes no sense that they would remove a fully functioning monster like Guardian Ebony or Xu Wu just to add Seregios. Remember that we in no way have access to day 1 patch information for data miners. Seregios was already on RE engine in Sunbreak also... just makes sense to me that they simply added him day 1 rather than cut a random monster, ESPECIALLY a guardian.
Is there something I'm missing here? I am a bit confused why people are claiming they removed a fully functioning monster to add.... a fully functioning monster. Especially considering Seregios doesn't add anything elemental while Guardian Ebony/Fulgar Anja do.
