On the topic of Tales of Xillia matchups, how does Rowen J. Ilbert VS Cor Leonis (FFXV) sound?

Both of them are badass old (well, Cor isn't that old, but still at least 20 years older than the party)  millitary officials (or, well, formerly in Rowen's case), who are known throughout the world as the Immortal and the Conductor respectively. Both of them are considered some of the most dangerous men in their respective worlds; which shows during their travels with the party.

Unknown to most, both of them harbor intense shame and guilt due to their past "failures". More specifically; Cor feels guilty over being unable to save Regis during the invasion of Insomnia, partly due to not being present as he was busy escaping the chaos. In Rowen's case, he harbors intense guilt over leaving the millitary instead of staying, which resulted in his inability to stop Nachtigall during his rise to power.

Interestingly, both of them are one of the strongest combatants in their respective games, something that age hasn't really impaired (though, did somewhat slow them down, albeit only after the timeskip for Cor), but while Cor mostly fights up-close due to being stripped of most of his magical abilities, though he does possess ranged attacks, Rowen prefers to fight at a distance with magical attacks, but isn't helpless up-close either.
