Gladio VS Silas: Childhood best friends of the protagonist, who stood by them no matter the choices their friend made over the years. Both of them are both strict and easy-going at the same time, albeit Gladio reminds the party of their duties and occasionally displays his less-strict character traits, contrasting Silas who oftentimes acts carefree and occasionally acts strict when the need arises. And both are rather... big due to all of their muscles (sounds weird the way i say it.. XD), which signifies their role as the muscle of their team.

Lunafreya VS Azura: the Deuteragonist of their respective games, who play a more supportive role, often keeping the protagonist from straying from their paths. Both are the princess of a fallen kingdom that are the third most important ones in their games, who are held captive in the ones that opposes that of their own, with Lunafreya being held captive in Niflheim, the kingdom that destroyed her own kingdom, and Azura being held captive in the kingdom of Nohr, which tries to take over the kingdom of Hoshido. Both of them aren't exactly the fighting type, mainly because of their more passive magical powers, which holds great importance to their story, with Lunafreya being able to remove a person's Starscourge and talk to the Astrals, and Azura being able to supress a royal's draconic instincts and seal dragons, but should the need arise, they can always fight using their holy weapons of choice, but they are nowhere near on the protagonist's level of skill. Both of them also seem to share similar backstories with the protaginst, as Lunafreya and Noctis are both forced to bear the burden of their status, and Azura and Noct seem to be the prince/princess of rival kingdoms who were kidnapped and grew up with their opposing kingdoms, as they were held captive. There is one more connection, but i'll keep quiet unless you're sure you don't mind

And both matchups have the Fire Emblem VS Final Fantasy and Nintendo VS Square Enix themes.
