Not really. You could create a second save slot before you start pairing people up, in case you didn't want to fully replay the game to match make. Otherwise, you can't really 'screw things up'. Even poor RNG rolls can be repaired with reclassing and maxing out stats.
Only if you let all of your characters die.
Certainly nothing on par with that Final Fantasy Tactics oops-you-saved-in-a-tower-before-a-difficulty-spike-difficulty-curve-what's-that nonsense.
This is the worst thing.
Instead of a good character that excels in one trait, you get a terrible jack of no trades.
Especially if you chose Speed as your plus.
This stupid character can't do anything.
Not like Donny.

Severa is awesome, love her hair flick when she wins 
Gonna make her a kickass assassin
And then marry my main to have an even speedier skillful Morgan.
Father and mom are awesome in speed and skill.

Oh, that's weird. I didn't expect them to give forged items to enemies.
My Maribelle consistently gets the least stat growths out of everyone on my team. At least there are second seals in this game...

I just paired Henry and Tharja together for my second playthrough. Poor Noire.

I chose Speed as my plus yeah, and I paired him with that shitty-ass pegasus knight that I'm never gonna level up for the speed boost

Gaius is the only Assassin you need.
I married Lon'qu to Panne and made them both Assassins and paired them up in every battle and they were unstoppable.
Hey, I tried using a Master Seal on Panne, she was lv. 10 and everything, but it wouldn't do anything...?

Second seal, bro.
Taguel doesn't promote to anything. Use a Second Seal.

So my avatar is level 10 and only has 17 hp
That's the first time I've heard of an avatar's weakness actually being noticeable. Worst weakness ever.

That's what I did. Paired up, they're unstoppable. Tharja with Ruin equipped + the crit boost my avatar gives = 80% crit chance for me.
I've married:
Vaike/Sully (loved their S conversation)
Lon'qu/Cherche (I was going to marry him to Cordelia, but Cherche came around right after and I love Wyvern riders and I love Lon'qu, so...)
Avatar/Tharja (the conversation was funny, too)
Gonna do Lissa/Kellam next.
I've done the Paralogues to see what the children look like, but exit right after to continue leveling the parents up so they get the skills.

I'm somewhat confused about when to use a second seal, is there any way to know which characters get skills at 10, 15, 20 without actively "cheating" by looking it up? Have Lissa at 19 now so once I get her to 20 I'll use my first I suppose. Healers level up so much faster than everyone else, nice though as I can send her into enemy heavy areas now and she won't take much damage.
Edit: Also, will no class automatically upgrade to another? As in do you always have to use a Second Seal to move on.

so far its working out great.
Thats exactly how it is for me. Tharja is a beast.

More than twenty hours in and I forgot that Kellam existed. It's hard to fit the guy in when the primary tactic is to blitzkrieg the shit out of the opposition

I know the feel, my avatar got screwed the first 8 or so levels, and it was always in battles where everyone else got amazing level ups, so it just wasn't worth it to restart. The one thing he does have going for him is excellent def, which has been his saving grace
You and everyone else in the game.
Unpromoted - 1 and 10
Promoted - 5 and 15
Special (Manakete, Taguel, Dancer, Villlager, Demon Fighter, Bride) - 1 and 15
Second Seals don't promote units; they reclass units into another.... class >_>
Using a SS on your Lissa will just reclass her into another base class like Troubadour or something.
You'll have to always use a Master Seal to promote from a base class to a promoted class. Special classes like the above don't promote, that's why you'll have to use a SS to change them into something else. (Panne: Taguel -> Wyvern Rider, dah dah dah)
I ended up flipping a coin and went with swordmaster. I'll try out assassin later/my next time through. Appreciate the input though.
Who?
I'm not sure. The name doesn't seem familiar.
By the way, who's glass of water is this? This is the third time today that there's an extra placed on the table.
I'm not careful enough to blitz through enemies, unfortunately. Luckily for me, +DEF Robin is hilariously tanky.

Ah, thanks a lot. Had a big misunderstanding of the seal system it seems. Will master seals become more common soon? On chapter 8 at the moment and Lissa should hit 20 within the battle. And just to confirm Donnel is a villager class so as such I should use a second seal after he hits level 15 to get him on a more productive path? Only bronze lances is a rather weak path at the moment.
Avoid Bows and Wind Magic and their life expectancy will increase.
I'm guessing you got hit by an arrow?

I just end up using Donnel/Nowi to spearhead the offense then everybody else picks off the survivors.
Then maybe they should actually put the same effort they put into the game's female characters into its male ones. I had a hell of a time picking a husband due to how little I like most of the male cast.
Time to throw every single Seraph's robe onto him/her
Wow. Normal difficulty is so easy. . Didn't expect the gap between Normal and Hard to be this wide.
Think I'll be going back to Hard Classic or maybe Hard Casual. I breezed through the first few fights within minutes on Normal. Hard might be to hard but at least there is a challenge there.

Try and get them up a couple of levels in relative safety. Once you hit level 10 or so and their speed starts to kick in... THAT'S when they get awesome. Getting double hits on nearly every unit and having insane dodge is just love.
You can buy Master Seals soon. Just a few more chapters to go.
Enemies will start dropping them soon, too.
Yeah, that's what I did for Donnel. Reclassed him the second he got his 2nd skill.
You paired up Donnel and Nowi? Pedophile -- Nowi is 1,000 years old! Go with Best Husband Gregor.
(I'm setting up Donnel with Cherche, cause she seems like a Best Friend's Hot Sister sort of deal.)
