After watching the part1 of the reunion vid, I had this going through my mind..
The backgrounds when going in a shop or bar interests me.
I did some edits with it, and had fun.
Here's what I have made so far; I wanted to add RAD!,
and changed Ramza's armor to fit Mercenaries.
But, I need some help! Where should we put our lad, Rad?
First off, my edits:

next to ramza would be good, behind the counter makes no sense (Rad doesn't work there)
next to ramza or behind ramza, watching him from the ladder

Haha. Yeah. Behind the counter doesn't make sense, unless that is his father shop, cousin's shop, uncle's shop, OR, (stupid idea), his girlfriend's shop. Hahaha.
In front of Ramza or the ladder (maybe plan to climb up the ladder and look for something) sounds reasonable.

make it a vote between ladder climb, leaning on ladder watching ramza (with arms crossed if possible) and next to ramza, as if talking to him
those 3 are the best possibilities IMO

Okay, I'll try doing the 'leaning on ladder' first.
No, no, I was wrong. We can't place Rad near the ladder.
He'll be covered up by the Menu.
So, there's only one choice left..
Here's the fixed shadow version: (4th edit)

it would be good if Rad changes its position along the chapters go on,I think one behind the counter is reasonble under certain circunstances,like carrying a supply box/gear just like the girl or coming out from the fitting room wearing an armor,the scenario changes 3 times,so 3 different images

Rad looks good there and Gafgarion should have his head down and arms crossed...
Or you could have Gaffy staring at the merchandise/shelves/cabinets.

MiKe, you've done it again! The first image looked so natural that I didn't realize Rad wasn't supposed to be there. Hah.
Anyway, I like where he's placed now, but if Gafgarion is doing the shopping he should be in front of the counter. Ramza can be fiddling around with something, and maybe Rad could be off to the side. Sitting on the counter, perhaps?

btw, nice avatar.
One Note, I can't remove Ramza in this one. So, he should always be there, touching the sword.

Very nice, MikeMitchi, very very nice! Though each chapter (or patch... in this case) will have a different Shop picture (maybe multiple ones if I can get that worked out...) That leaves the Historical Archives (keep in mind though that the picture I have there is Hopefully not final, that's taken directly from one of the storybooks and worked at the time...) but if anyone has any other ideas, that would be great!
Also the Warden's Office which is replacing the Fur Shop (run by the guy who used to run the now defunct Soldier Office) if you could make the Soldier Office picture into a place a bit more dank and seed with guards surrounding it and Perhaps a merchant with a very large bag, that would be Optimal!
Great work, though currently! I am glad to see you all are putting forth a good effort.

A job well done.
The last one with Gafgarion in front of the counter and Rad helping with the girl is amazing but I too, like to see Rad playing/leaning at the ladder.
Overall, its amazing.

Ooh, good stuff! Rad looks perfect in that one MiKe. My only suggestion is to make sure Gaffgarion doesn't look like he's sleeping. Arms crossed, perhaps? Though I thought we only see Ramza in his red for a small portion of the game--one fight or something...

Hmm, I can't really think of anyone... how do you think statues would look? Of let's say... one frames of two of the "Zodiac Braves" from legend?
Also this is what I meant... (Did I never really explain this?) In Mercenaries the Fur Shop has been replaced with the Warden's Office, the Warden's Office is where to receive items for capturing "Bounties", (I'll open up a thread for them when they become pertinent) It works in the exact same way as poaching, except this time you're (more or less) poaching humans, and bringing them to the Warden's Office. You get a "ticket" for high quality goods. But the picture of the Fur Shop is being replaced with that of the Soldier Office, except I would like to see some guards about, and maybe some prisoners being taken away if possible, and a peculiar looking merchant with a very large bag of goods.

That I did not... in any case, the chapter names are probably going to be in a style based after Matsuno himself, but no more on that at the moment. Hmm... the term Wardenry is more antique... but doesn't really get to the point, Warden's Office tells you immediately, I actually had to look up the definition of Wardenry to find out, in any case those plans look good, sure change his outfit a bit, but no need to change his face at all.

You might should remove the plume on the helmet. With it, it screams Onion Knight. Without it, I could see it being regular guards.

That combined fur shop - wardery looks fan-eFFing-tastic!! A little dark to the left area, but I guess that's where the Menu is gonna be so no problem there.

Helm is a thing that makes them special, I deffinitly won't remove it. Besides it reminds "parade helm" from other FF series (FFTA for example).

The plume does look good, but I agree with Silvas. Though, I still think the helmet could use one more shade...

Yeah Kage, try removing the plume, we'll see if it looks good.
But I'll still try them.
Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated.
Yeah, good thought.
hmm.. where to place Gaf seems to a problem..

Gafgarion standing in front of the counter or whatever it is call, like discussion or something, while Ramza is there (the same place) reading/viewing documents, perhaps? Also, for Gafgarion's sprite, may I suggest his hands placing on the table/counter? Since the officer is placing both hands under his cheek and seems like thinking/taking into consideration for whatever reason from Gafgarion.
Something like this:

Gaff kinda blended in on first glance, since he is in the light itself, it might be allright to lighten him up a bit.

Very good progress and great suggestion about lightening up Gaffy. He might even be casting a shadow in the bright spot on the floor behind him. Any chance of getting rid of some of the books and papers on the floor, it is a bit too messy now. I like your idea of combining the soldier office and the fur shop, but I'm wondering if you should have used different pieces from each.

Haha. Yes, those were my concerns, too.
I did lighten up Gaf, though. I think I should lighten him up more.
Hmm.. about the books..
I can't remove them.

Also, I'm open to other projects, as long as I have time and interest.

Holy shit! Great job MiKe, great job. I guess you could mess around with the light in the image, but I think it looks fine (and Gafgarion doesn't look particularly dark or anything). My only suggestion is to make it look like that other knight/guard isn't moving, but that's just my personal preference. If you're gonna include a prisoner, I'd say use the Gambler. He needs to be shown off more.

I think a backwards facing plume would be interesting. Also maybe have a strip of cloth coming out of the nob. Like a small banner or something.
