Some Xillia 2 thoughts about Milla (spoilers up to chapter 11)
THIS IS FULL OF SPOILERS FROM CHAP1 TO CHAP11 INCLUDED. Do not read if not done with chapter 12 at least (well truth it's more chapter 11 only, but let's be careful).
I need to express my opinion on Milla (Fractured Milla). I just ended chapter 13, and I have some lingering feelings about her.
First, I thought it was really interesting to see a human Milla. In my very personal opinion, it was what Milla could have been if she had taken the choice NOT to become Maxwell at the end of Xillia 1. I don't even care if the game didn't want to say that, but it's really how I see it. So when we encounter her, I was really happy to see this "other possibility" of Milla !
Sadly, this Milla doesn't know anyone in the party, so of course, she's not the "friendly" Milla you got to bond with during a full game. But it's not just that, I see Fractured Milla is bitter and full of rage/anger D:. I mean, of course she has all the reasons to be. She lost her status as the Lord of Spirit, as well as all her powers and her mission, and she ends up alone with no friends, no powers, no mission (no goal in life) and with a crazy sister bullying her AND guilt for having made said-sister blind. So yeah, I think I'd be super bitter and full of anger too xDDD
But was sadden me is that during the whole time she's with our party, she doesn't seems to lose any of this bitterness or rage :(. In all the fight-end-skits, level-up skits, or regular skits, she has a very mad voice xDD. It's like she's mad at everything and everyone. But if she sticks with us, if she willingly agree to help us, I don't get why she doesn't soften a bit, even if it's just a little. I mean, I don't want her to be happy and cheerful and laughing with us, because yeah that'd be too much I guess xDDD, but just a LITTLE LESS MAD voice would be great xDDDD. More cold/indifferent voice would fits better than IM-FREAKING-ANGRY-DEAL-WITH-IT voice IMO.
So I can only blame it on her voice actor who keeps this permanent angry voice all the time in EVERYTHING she says for now. I'm now planning to play the japanese version through (once I'm done with the game) only to see if she's as "angry" with the japanese seiyuu as she's is in english xD.
Which is kinda sad when I consider the voice actor improved since Xillia 1 when Milla Maxwell joins your party and have a decent nice voice. I really didn't like her voice in Xillia 1 because I found it way too emotionless. Milla is not emotionless è_é, she just doesn't think/feel like a human. And she changes through the whole game too. The japanese seiyuu of Milla has such a beautiful and deep voice, it fits Milla SO WELL (yeah I'm in love with this seiyuu xD). In Xillia 2 I think the actrice improved while dubbing Milla Maxwell. But why is Fractured Milla so aggressive xD !!
So I was really looking forward to Fractured Milla, but I was slightly disappointed to see she was so "angry" until the end. I wanted her to go from "angry" to "I think I understand what having friends" means. I didn't want her to die while still feeling alone. And I got the feeling she didn't feel less alone at the end. She pretty much did it for Elle, so yeah she was caring a lot for Elle (and probably a couple others in the party despite trying to act tough) but it still looks like she felt alone and not at her place until the end. No it's not true Milla :'''( !! You were not T__T !!!
Still loved Fractured Milla a lot. Just sad to see she didn't really bond with the party that much (Elle excepted). And I might have been having a REALLY hard time with the time limited choices so far in the game, but this is the only time I DIDN'T HESITATE A SINGLE SECOND XD. I read the choices and I was like "HELL IF I LET GO". Twice in a row xDDD. I'm sorry but I can't !!! I love Elle but it's SPECIALLY for Elle's sake that I COULD NOT let go !!
Aaaaaah stupid game. So much feels xDD #sob
I love this game.
I pretty much saw it coming (it's not really subtle xD) but it still made me cry. And Elle's reactions made me cry even more xDD
And now I'll continue the game. I just finished chapter 13, so I have some character chapters to play before going on board with chapter 14.
HOWEVER. I now paid off like 3 millions of my debt. HOW. THE. HELL. Am I supposed to pay off ALL of it in a single playthrough xD ??!!
Last thing. Cosplayer thing. Before playing I liked both designs of Milla. Now that I've been playing it for more than 50 hours, I'm really looking forward to cosplay BOTH versions, and try to portrait their differences in a photoshoot. Because I loved Fractured Milla, and I still love Milla Maxwell even more than in the first game ♥ ♥ ♥ and they're both different but both true and both lovable xD #random haha
