Talk:Terra Branford vs Milla Maxwell/@comment-3463132-20160130010636/@comment-3463132-20160203004042

Well I'll say I disagree but Tales characters rely pretty heavily on interpretation. (Bear in mind I never finished Xillia 2 so some of this may be outdated)

Reasoning:

Terra is a bullet-timer while Milla is not, granting Terra an enormous speed advantage in CQC. Between the two I believe Terra also holds a higher flight speed since she flies halfway around the planet in a few seconds while Milla takes a few hours to even days. Terra also has actual feats for dodging and casting while flying- something Milla lacks.

Milla is not immune to status ailements like slow, stop, death, frog, etc. unless she uses magic guard- which has never blocked those status ailments as they do not exist in the Tales universe.

Xillia durability for the characters is only slightly above peak-human: Leia was incredibly close to death from being shot and Milla was paralyzed from a wall of flames. I do not believe they canonically ever withstood a powerful attack.

Casting times in Tales games are canon, meaning Milla to cast any spell really does have to stand there and wave her hands and chant- meanwhile FF magic is a handwave and a spoken word- giving Terra a further expanded speed advantage when it comes to casting.
