History Awesome / Talesofxillia

* Even the opening goes out of its way to show how badass [[ActionGirl Milla]] [[TheHero Max]][[TheProtagonist well]] is: even if you choose Jude, Milla is still shown making her HeroicSacrifice. And if you choose Milla's? Instead of seeing Jude attacking some aquatic mooks, Milla is shown going toe-to-toe with ''the'' BigBad, Gaius...and not only managing to get into a BladeLock with him after he effortlessly punts Jude aside, it's implied ''Milla'' is getting the upper hand. Milla, ''you'' are a badass.

* At Bermia Gorge (Jude's Route), the group are pinned down by snipers, and can't get a clear shot at them - so they need a distraction. While Jude draws the attention, Milla sneaks off for a surprise attack, and a sniper aims straight at him and fires... inches from his face, with no change of expression or flinching, [[NonchalantDodge Jude moves out of its way with little effort, without even taking a step]]. [[ThisCannotBe The sniper can't believe it]], but the player knows [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration how fast]] [[CounterAttack Jude can move]]. On Milla's Route, his moment is replaced by a simpler-but-still-awesome one for Milla, easily sneaking up on the same assassin and knocking her out while she was distracted by Jude, who didn't sense her at all.

* The FinalBoss starts out with Jude and Milla versus Gaius and Muzet. It's hard enough at first, but one by one, each of the other party members joins the battle ''[[DynamicEntry using their Mystic Arte]]'', and then proceeds to give the BigBad a WorldOfCardboardSpeech with dashes of ShutUpHannibal. It really lets you feel the [[TrueCompanions bond]] between the party members.

Instead of seeing Jude attacking some aquatic mooks, Milla is shown going toe-to-toe with THE BigBad, Gaius...and not only managing to get into a BladeLock with him after he effortlessly punts Jude aside, it's implied MILLA is getting the upper hand. Milla, YOU are a badass.

** Perhaps one of the greatest examples is HOW Milla lost the use of her legs: she ran at Nachtigal, where her leg brace blew up '''point-blank'''. '''Then, she gets up anyway''. At this point, Nachtigal himself looks FRIGHTENED by the sheer willpower this woman has, and rightfully so, as, even as it seems the second explosion really did do Milla in... '''she jumps through the fire and smoke and still tries again'''. And Nachtigal himself, after seeing Milla did indeed lose consciousness this time, says aloud he had not gotten injured at all - '''but it's clear that he is still very shaken up'''.
** Another great example is when Milla, having literally ''disintegrated'' into nothing, lost her memory in the Spirit World, and can barely speak outside of a few lines in battle... ''takes on and beats Muzet, who could hold her own against all five of the others''. But that's nothing compared to her next act: essentially ''willing herself back into existence, then follows it up by'' '''destroying God's barrier with one sword slash'''. That's right. No body, no physical presence, no proof she ever existed outside the spirit world and outside the memories of the people she had met...''and she COMES BACK''.

* Not quite as explosive as the rest of these, but apparently Elize took down two Aquadragons. By herself. After a day of extremely intense fighting in a war and the death of the man who had essentially been her father figure. And it still makes sense, because gameplay-wise, that's around the point where she starts unlocking absolutely ''murderous'' darkness-type spells and the ability to occasionally resurrect herself whenever she feels like it. Elize is LittleMissBadass, no question.

* The war game played between Rowan and Wingul. Wingul intentionally chose the only battle Rowan 'tied' on. Rowan proceeds to win without attacking a single enemy soldier.

* The entirety of [[TheWarSequence the battle of Fezebel Marsh]] after the death of Nachtigal. Storywise, it's the [[WhamEpisode climax of a major arc]] as Auj Oule attacks Rashugal with a brilliant strategy by Wingul - using boosters to locally force the spirit clime into Ragnome, making the impassable marsh solid enough to march across. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Gameplay-wise]], your party [[BossRush mows down soldiers from both sides]] as you chase Gilland and the Lance of Kresnik. And right after that, you fight two [[ClimaxBoss Climax Bosses]], one after the other ([[QuirkyMinibossSquad The Chimeriad]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gaius]]). [[HolyShitQuotient It's easily the most intense sequence in the game.]]
