I thought his stubbornness fit his character very well. He was a guy who pretty much united a country through pure willpower and by himself for the most part, so I can understand if he was less than willing to cooperate with something that wasn't guaranteed in the long run. Muzét was a pretty awful villain though, I agree. Came out of nowhere, went insane out of nowhere, and turned good out of nowhere. At least Gaius makes up for her.

in the whole series? Well, indeed. Ivar is not even close.
still I don't like him at all, along with another couple of characters. They made him annoying on purpose as for Agria (and I guess they tried to make him funny as well) but it just doesn't work.
It must suck to be "not main heroine childhood friend" in these kinds of stories.

Didn't stop Cheria in the last game, and she wouldn't even let Asbel going anywhere near the butt after she said she'd do anything for him as a kid
Also didn't stop Farah, Colette, or Shirley
Leia I think is the only childhood friend who doesn't win in the end.
hurry the fuck up
Hey! Someone other than me is still waiting for this game. Hopefully tomorrow!

her skill to use items instantly is nice. she's also a good healer.
not one i'd usually play, but she's good to have around during boss fights.
games really do need to have more bo staff users.
hurry the fuck up
You better stan Milla Maxwell and Leia!!!
Tempest Pirouette is also really broken. Also the skill to allow one item effect the entire party is nice too. Use an Apple Gel on one person to almost get a Treat like effect.

does that work with life bottles?
Just give everyone that skill that gives you full hp after you get revived, break the game (even more).
Honestly, Natalia's story arc is so tragic :/
Then again, Leia's perspective on this whole thing is an NTR route.

It's really dumb as honestly there is no reason outside of her hot bod for Jude to want Milla over Leia from what I've played. Leia doesn't help herself by being overly demanding, then again I guess Jude is 15 so "durr boobs" might be all his hormones need
I'm thinking about this way too much lol
Well, Leia might be a little too overbearing and energetic for logical, down-to-earth Jude. I guess they play off each other well, but Jude clearly is annoyed by her antics a lot of the time, even if he does occasionally find them charming.
I'm talking about them like they're real people.
I guess there's no characteristic or anything else beyond Milla's body that's totally worthy of admiration, right? Right guys? I mean... it's all about boobs. smh at this conversation.

She really wants to complete her mission, and she doesn't have much understanding of the world as a whole. Honestly Milla doesn't have much of a personality I get why but it has yet to convince me why Jude would fall for her in any form other then physical. Now maybe this will change later in the game but as of where I'm at it hasn't seemed to be the case
Hm, it's most likely just her determination, considering a lot of Jude's background story focus is his indecision and having no idea on what he wants to do. In Milla, he sees someone the opposite of himself.

Jude seems more attracted to her determination than physical.
Is it ever explained why Maxwell needed to be a busty human girl to save the world? Whats so wrong with the usual floating meteor storm raining old guy maxwell?
Have you ever met someone who's charisma, conviction, beliefs, and willpower ever enamored your or inspired you in some way, shape, or form? Jude isn't in love with her entire being but he's mystified and inspired and in loved with how Milla is so resolute and strong. I mean... just because she has a "hot bod" doesn't mean he's going after her just cuz of that.

I guess I can see that, will I get more of Jude's background later on of was the stunt at his home town it?
She said that form was useful to distract 50% of the humans she interacted with. It's part of a side quest with the wanted posters
I dunno the whole time it's just come off as overly stubborn on Milla's part with Jude kind of getting sucked into her world as he was too curious for his own good. Again I've not even arrived at Xian du so ill probably have my opinion changed by the end if Milla continues to act more and more human
To disarm men if I remember correctly. Who would say no to such a pretty face?
Not really. At least... I didn't think so.

hmmm so what does the ch number next to the title of subevents in that section of the menu mean? some are flashing.
I think i started that poster one... but thats it
glad there is a subevent quest log, but i wish there were more details... its rarely obvious when to progress, well outside of skits i guess. Wish those skits update your quest log.
man, some of these event summaries in the event log are really weirdly written. like a weird fanfic.

Finished Jude's route earlier in the morning. I have to say its one great game. I actually found myself liking the cast over Graces f and I didn't think that was possible. Hate the fields though, hate them with hot fiery passion though. Took me about 45 hours at level 64 Jude.
One issue I have with the ending, related to Gaius.

Why the hell is he king of Riexe Maxia after all this shit I had to go through cause of him and his band of dick riders? Goddammit Rowen should've been king. Gaius reminded me too much of Duke and that also irked me a bit.

I think in Esura's mind the cast consists solely of Sophie, and maybe Cheria.

Never really understood why cheria wanted asbel's dick. Or why anyone wants to hang out with him at all lol.
Or maybe its the childhood friend trope thing.
Wish the girl friends i knew since a kid were like that ;_;, they are all hot now too.

I didn't get to try out anyone other than Jude much, but is this one of the Tales games where the main characters are given waaay more tools and options in terms of being playable than the rest of the cast? Id like to probably play more as alvin but I always tend to feel a little handicapped when using the non-main character in most tales games
My SO started playing this yesterday, and I really only have one question after sitting down and watching for awhile: is there something wrong with our disc? We'll sometimes get to parts where characters are having conversations in town and there's no background audio, no voice acting, nothing. Completely silent. It's really unsettling.

Poor Leia
Leia is way too good for Jude.
I think early in the game there isn't a lot of music for some reason. The first Seahaven you land at doesn't have music as well.
Does the voice acting cut out randomly or are there only some NPCs that aren't voiced? The game isn't 100% voice acted.

alvin does seem to take a while before he gets good. Need certain skills.
there is a pretty large disparity in terms of link skills between milla and jude vs others. :/
its always fun to try out different characters in random battles imo. keeps combat interesting.
otherwise you can probably spam palm strike all day and steamroll the game easily.
The voice acting doesn't cut out (I'm fine with that, I think it was just a random NPC conversation), but I think we were at a dock somewhere and there weren't any waves, gull noises, town themes, whatever. 3 minutes on mute until we left to the map for battles.

its really weird. can't tell if its a game bug or not, but also seems to take a second or 2 to start up the map music after finishing a battle.
I just went to Aladhi Seahaven (should be the first port you land on) and the waves are very soft. I had to turn the volume up a lot to even hear it clearly. No gulls or anything.
The ports in the game are just very lazy in general.
Works with life bottles and the regain HP and TP to 100% skills just fine. Used it a lot.
Well, I'm glad they were there at least (though not having a background theme is inexcusable). I'll have to check the audio settings when I get back and maybe try to stop this from happening in the future.

gotta love how every dungeon/building that has multiple floors just reuse the same map for each floor.
We clearly can't tell the difference.

Too many Leia haters here
Yeah. He was probably in awe when he first saw her, but Jude seemed to really like Milla because of her resolve and how strong she was. It kind of built up off of admiration, imo. I don't think it was just looks.

Jude clearly wants to fuck alvin. it's the only way some of this trust nonsense makes sense.
Is it? maybe it's because they think there's more to people and just can overlook things when it happens a few times? I think there are people out there who will instantly go nuts when a betrayal or w/e happens. However, I don't think it's farfetched to say the opposite as well. I don't think it's THAT ridiculous. And it's not so much a matter of forgiveness either. The party is always on edge and being cautious and paranoid. The trust is gone still.
