This is my 'sayonara' to Xillia 1, and I thought to do this with a redux of my Leia run. This run, though called a 'speed run' doesn't necessarily mean I trying to get the fast time; just means that battles will be over quickly.

*steps on soapbox*

The general idea is this: Leia is a fairly limited melee character in comparison to her peers(Al, Mil, Jude), however the disadvantages of her lack of artes are not as much of a blight as people think. It was my wholehearted goal to emphasize this in my initial run. Against bosses, Leia's aerial artes Rabid Lunge(against a boss in counterattack phase) and Crescent Flash are akin to Jude's Palm Strike; possibly stronger if Sky Soldier(+25%dmg, -25%TP consumption) is used. Most importantly, all 10 of her artes have their uses, but my lack of experience in early portions of the run led to sub-standard gameplay. Still, I feel that, because of her limited # of artes, seeing the small amount of combos at her disposal for a long period of time makes a drag to watch. Since I was redoing the final battle by using Exel's gald-farming trick, I figured it was a good time to go through and do everything over again while revisiting the story before X2 released. *steps off soapbox*

So this is it. Everything I've learned by hard work and training, as well as watching how others approached bosses and tactics they use, I put into this run.

Obviously 2x Dmg/ 3x Crit is used. I used herbs to up my P.Atk and A.Atk to about 5000(because I was killing the first bosses in 12 secs when I maxed it out, lol), and maxed it out after Nacht/ before The Chim battle(cause they were kicking my arse). No armors, no Last Stand skill, no 30+ lv Iron Stance, no *elem* Guard skills, none of that(I did have an E.Circlet eqp on the Chim battle, though I didn't need it). Last boss, of course, is the exception. Battles will be quick. Leia is an aerial character, so I won't be holding back from attacking from high-in-the-sky if necessary. Same with Soulspin spam(expect a lot of that).
