Not a problem.

Gladio and Ferdinand are competitive and diligent retainers to their respective royal. Both contrast their liege's other respective retainer quite a bit, as they're the more contradicting and competitive of the two, as a means of pushing Noctis and Edelgard further and rethink their disposition. This tends to portray them as quite the prideful and insensitive, even if they're well-meaning and try to live up to their family name as best as possible.

In terms of gameplay, both are experts with weapons and are quite the potent damage dealers, even if their magic is rather lackluster. Of course, they still possess some degree of skill with it, and can attack with the elements of fire and lightning, even if they're not as proficient at it as Ignis, Noctis, Hubert and Edelgard.
