There's probably more customization options since they didn't have to make sure it matched the sprite in battle. All they had to do in 12 was match the hair color and call it a day.

What? Are you crazy? Of course it is the best idea.

Do I get anything other than experience from fighting them both?
You can visit all the villages, and the villagers will give you a large Bullion for it.
There's like no down-side besides the absurd amount of enemies.
This isn't a downside.

As has been said by the fine gentlemen here (and ladies too maybe?), you can get 4 village items.
But seriously, that reasoning is secondary at best. A big-giant-melee-against-scores-of-enemies is too hard to pass up.
It's not a downside!
What could be more fun than to field my Morgan alone (with Chrom as he is forced deployment, the bastard) and watch the cutest killing machine ever killing hundreds of enemies without breaking a sweat? Hahaha.
Well, I'm just thinking if your characters aren't ready for the challenge. By that time I could have Morgan cover the red army and Severa & Owain cover the green.
It was crazy, though. I didn't turn off battle animations and I'm pretty sure it took five minutes for the enemy turn to resolve.

So I'm approaching where most of my characters are getting into the teen levels. Is it recommended to wait to 20 to advance them or a bit earlier?
I remember playing SS and people said wait until 20...but when I beat the game people were nowhere near max level of the second advancement so I wasn't sure if it really mattered if I advance them before 20 or not.

If it's base class (with no Second Seal): sure level them up to 20 before promoting because otherwise the levels will be wasted (because the game considers your newly promoted from base unit as level "21" regardless when you promoted them in terms of experience)
For promoted class, usually the recommended idea is just to level them up to 15 and then switch to something else, to accrue skills.
Okay cool, thanks!

So when people talk about grinding in this, how would you do that? Can you replay missions or something?

DLC maps. Or spotpass teams.
*or* you can fight randomly generated enemies on the world map. DLC maps/spotpass teams are much, much, much more efficient however.
I agree. I actually try to think of the Spotpass Paralogue characters as some weird alternate "what if" scenario.

I'm still not convinced that they aren't just bonus characters.
In previous games, bonus characters (like the extra characters for bonus maps in Biding Blade and Path of Radiance, and the creature campaign characters in Sacred Stones) joined without any storyline excuse, but here even the past game DLC characters technically have story reasons for joining. They don't have unique dialogue afterwards because they're considered guest avatars by the game engine, but they do get it before and while joining. Those six characters having complete dialogue sets makes sense, considering how they are actual standard characters engine-wise and the treatment given to bonus characters in general in this game.
Besides, you need to unlock the spotpass chapters in the same place where you can get legendary weapons out of nowhere and make past game characters randomly pop up in the world map. Awakening likely won't have a direct sequel though (the pairing system makes it extremely unlikely), so I guess this discussion likely won't be settled any time soon. I think we're likely to see bonus crossover characters even more fleshed out in future FEs though, since they likely won't only think about the concept at the end of development, which at least will hurt the arguments that selectively go "If they have dialogue AFTER joining, they're canon" to support the spotpass chapters characters.
Smash Brethren 2 confirmed for tomorrow according to Nintendo's Facebook.

That Tharja figure would be nice.
Probably won't be finished for a long while though.

Emmm isn't that image a little bit nsfw?
The girl is Cordelia.
I'm the dude that's screwing her.

I've been back and forth between my avatar marrying Panne or Cherche, but I think I'll settle with Panne. Overall I find her a lot more charismatic and fun to use. Her class is odd but I think if I get some assassin skills on her and bump her back to taguel she'll be a force to be reckoned with.

I gotta say besides the fact that the FatherxChild supports are all generic across the fathers, they are still pretty well done.
My favorites are Owain's, Inigo's, Cynthia's, Gerome's and Laurent's.
Though, Yarne's one with Virion as his father seems custom made for Virion.

This only applies to my other save.
You're Lon'qu.
She's a pure maiden on my main save and will be my bride tommorow.

Nothing wrong with pairing Panne now and redoing another save with Cherche on it.
Is there gonna be a formal ceremony like with that Love Plus guy?

Think I might do my second playthrough on Insanity with a female avatar.
Of course. It is a private event though.

Donnel is my favorite.
Well, only because I seemingly killed who probably would have been my favorite (Gaius).

Finally got a copy of this, and it's been kicking my ass a bit on Hard/Classic. I failed chapter 5 a half dozen times until I realized I could pair up Miriel with Lissa to boost her magic enough to Rescue Maribelle and Raiken, and that wind magic is super-effective against wyverns. Swapping Vaike for Lon'Qu also helped a lot, although now I'm worried my one axe user is getting underleveled. Really the biggest problem was half my team couldn't ever take two hits on the enemy turn, which is a problem when you're getting bumrushed from multiple directions plus wyverns.
Game is fantastic so far. The music in particular is GOLD.

I'm going to just leave my male MU unmarried so I can grab the supports for Emm/Aversa.
Nah man. We're all adults here. I'm going to change it though since I'm getting bored of it already.

Finished the campaign last night.
Story was just okay, but the characters is what really brought the game to life. It made the ending more touching than I anticipated.
And now, to wait for Luigi's Mansion.

I chose Lon'qu for my female MU. It was pretty sweet. Maybe even sweeter than marrying Gaius.
Wait for the best bloodline.
Hmm, now when you say it like that, that's really tempting...
Guess Lon'qu it is! I do love me some swordmasters. Probably still going to grind the Gaius support because I want to see the conversations. Also, I see what you did there. =P
B-but that's not until at least one more month.
