Just picked the game up, who should I play first?

No spoilers please.

it has no spoilers, don't worry.

Doesn't matter.

it does, there are changes.

Yeah I wanna make sure I get the best experience the first playthrough. 

Jude, its easier to understand the missing parts in the story when you transfer to Millia.

Play Jude, its easier to have a healer the whole game.

Jude, by most measures. Milla's side flat out leaves important things out... However I didn't follow this advice. As with other tales, you know you can still use any character as the avatar and main battler on either side provided the story puts them in the party.

Milla's is an interesting idea because it's sort of like what would happen if you viewed it from different character's perspective. If it was done well (Meaning there's ways to find out the information in different ways), but it wasn't.

There's some plot points that just don't get explained and they're important and there's no way of knowing unless you get the game spoiled or you played jude's side first.

They're hardly worthwhile though.

No clue because I'll be picking the game up tomorrow hopefully.
