Furthermore, wouldn't it be nice if R and S didn't level up in sync? So far, they have done so. I'd much rather see them gaining experience each on their own individual accord.
My characters didn't level up at the same time. As far as I can tell, XP in combat goes to the character that gets in the killing blow. That's a little annoying in fights where you have NPC allies, because your party could potentially not get any XP at all.
