I haven't actually been playing toooo much Tales recently, but I've had Act One of X2 Milla recorded for a while, so I figure I'll start uploading it now.

Run Overview:
This run is generally going to be similar to my Leia run. I'm usually gonna try to do no Power Charge 2/3 unless I deem the fight to be super boring without it (mostly for Chronos 2/3 if I can't find anything fun to do on those guys). Milla also has a unique arc in this game as she's separated into Fractured Milla and Prime Milla. I'm going to do a few things to differentiate the two. First, I'm not going to use the artes that Fractured Milla doesn't normally have access to (which are Elemental Shot and her summon spirit artes) but I'll make an exception and use her MA in one fight :p. Second, I'm going to be using background music that's given to me by my friends and other Tales players. In the case of this video, Jakkun provided this BGM! This is just to give the Fractured Milla fights a bit of a different vibe from my usual stuff.
Strategy:
Milla is a very powerful character in X2. In this sense, she's a lot simpler than Leia strategically as I won't have to struggle to start power combos or anything. For a lot of these short/early videos, the strategy sections will be fairly sparse. That's just because I won't have a ton to say, sorry!
For Spirius Gatekeeper: You basically just run up to it and beat it up.
Since that was so short, I'll talk about some of the differences between X1 and X2 Milla. We've got a couple of new toys to play with as Fractured Milla. These are Z-Slasher, Mystic Wheel, Luminous Chamber/Forcefield, a new "launcher" normal (seen at 0:11), and having the ability to lower cast times based off of the length of the arte chain. Z-Slasher and Mystic Wheel are grounded melee artes which are... kinda bad, but they have their uses which we'll see as we go on. Luminous Chamber spirit shifts into Forcefield and it's our new Arcane Arte. This arte is actually quite fun and does a lot of damage in both forms, so I'm going to try and use it quite a bit. Forcefield also gives i-frames! The biggest change that helps Milla a lot is the lowered cast time based off of arte chain length. This lets Milla easily incorporate spells into her combos which is a lot of fun, especially with the Aerial Spell Glitch.

Closing thoughts on the run:
Holy shit, its finally over... lol. I do love this run, but this run took so much out of me as a Tales player. I dont even think my Judith is THAT insane but to get to this level I had to put so many hours in. The first two bosses I recorded were Zagi 1 and Goliath (the first two bosses on the boss refight menu). These extremely easy bosses took me around 50 hours for me to get a satisfactory take of since I had to learn so much about the character and the game. Of course, the amount of effort I poured into the run is also what makes me incredibly proud of it as well and I hope it showed in the gameplay.
Judith has always been one of my favorite characters to play in any video game. It was a childhood dream of mine to become good at this character and I think that, with this run, Ive managed to fulfill that childhood dream. In this sense, this Judith run is one of the purest passion projects on my channel. I dont think I could have given so much to a run like this one if I didnt care so much about it.
This run definitely had its struggles though. I dont think Ive ever been as burnt out of Tales as I was after beating Alexei. That fight literally made me not want to look at anything related to Tales for like 1-2 weeks afterwards lol. That being said, Im very happy that I was able to see this through to the end. Ive tried learning Judith many times in the past and I gave up multiple times because the challenge of learning both Judith and the game was too difficult. This time, I made sure that wasnt the case and I believe thats something I can be proud of.
I did also want to speak a little bit about Vesperia as a game a little too. I was a bit down on this game going in since I knew the boss mechanics were a bit... strange. Despite this, I ended up having a lot more appreciation for the game. Theres a bit of a narrative among runners that Vesperia is a bad game and its kinda funny to meme on since its so popular yet so flawed. But I do think that Vesperia is a very skill expressive and fun game despite it having some issues. ToV can be one of the most rewarding Tales experiences if youre willing to learn the boss mechanics and play around some of its jankiness because I genuinely believe theres so much to explore here. Hell, Ill probably re-do this run someday because I feel like theres more I can do on Judith. Until then though... thank you guys for watching. I always appreciate you guys!
Strategy:
Duke 1:
There are three things that make Duke annoying:
1. His artes move him all over the place. This makes his artes difficult to punish because they mess with the axis A LOT.
2. He has a teleport attack that can be used as a random and a knockdown tech-out. This teleport is extremely similar to Muzets Emergency Warp, it gives Duke i-frames and teleports him to a random point on the map.
3. He has unlimited KD tech-outs like Flynn. This actually isnt that bad compared to Flynn since the tech-out rate is way lower, but this does mean that he can potentially teleport out whenever I knock him down with an arte.
With these three things said though, Duke isnt too bad. I just need to be careful of his range in neutral and when he uses Havoc Heaven as his KD tech-out. While he can use this tech-out anytime I knock him down, it is possible to react to it and dodge it with a touch-down, jump, or Moonbeam depending on the positioning. Its also not super likely for him to tech-out since his KD tech-out rate is so low. This means I can pretty easily combo him once I get a stun despite him having potentially infinite KD tech-outs. I do think punishing Havoc Heaven with Moonbeam is the way to go though. This attack moves him around a bit so fixing my axis with Moonbeam is crucial.
Duke 2:
Largely the same as Duke 1. He does get two new artes in Punishing Divine Flash and Punishing Decend (yes thats how its spelled). Punishing Divine Flash is very dangerous since it comes out deceptively fast and has a fairly long range. Also, this attack completely ruins the axis since he moves around a ton after the lasers come out. Punishing Decend is usually not threatening, but I did almost get hit by it here... my air dash i-frames saved me though lol.
Honestly, the hardest part of Duke 2 is the mental damage of having to sit through the first fight and the cutscenes again to get to him... this is why Im not doing Duke 3 (and because I dont have the Devil Arms on this save).

Game Modifications:
-Modified P. and F. ATK
-Unlocked doll artes
-Modified party
Strategy:
The fight is incredibly similar to Asch 1. He starts out being able to use normal attacks and Havoc Strike; both of which are quite dangerous and difficult to punish for Anise. Like last time, I simply jump over the normal to punish it quickly and this works since he has very little iron stance. At certain HP thresholds, hell cast Explosion and then Thunder Blade instead of Stalagmite and Icicle Rain like Asch 1 did.
This fight is pretty easy once I get the initial stagger since his low iron stance makes him trivial to loop. That being said, I still wanted to show some stuff and I finally got to use Gungnir A Go Go by punishing his Thunder Blade. I actually cant use this arte without OVL since the end lag is so bad lmao.

That makes me the new ruler!
Timestamps:

1:19 Battle
Strategy:
The so-called Ruler of the Skies is pretty similar to Brutaur in concept except I cant use Radiant Rondo to dodge counters this time. Pterobronc has two counters: one is a spin that has a massive horizontal hitbox but a relatively small vertical hitbox. The other is a charge attack which it unlocks below 50% HP. I can dodge both of these while staying on the offensive by simply hovering just above the vertical hitboxes of the attacks. Artes that are good for this are: Sigil Spear, Binding Sphere, Lightning, Blade Torrent, and of course Shimmer Spin/Cloud Pierce to regain some lost height.
Of course, the biggest issue with staying airborne for a long time is recovering AC. I have to land eventually. Generally, I like to recover AC after knocking Pterobronc down with Death Knell or doing an aerial jump backwards after proccing a counter. The latter option is honestly safer because Pterobronc can counter very frequently, meaning that Pterobronc might counter off of a Death Knell hit that doesnt knock it down.
