This video will highlight a more traditional battle scenario in Mercenaries. It is versus Rondel Lednor and the Baert Company Mercenaries, it is a bit based on character and this is the formal introduction of Rondel Lednor(Rondel Lednor is the replacement name chosen for the character formerly known as Pieke Okata). Gafgarion's Rival for many years. This will be a relatively character developing event, not as earthbreaking as the consequences in the Aftermath but it is still a very fun battle. The video is planned to be up by next Sunday.

This is going to be epic,I agree with Mike,Rondel is kinda common,if Lednor was his first name it would sound better

Why is Rondel's last name his first name in reverse? Heh, well, regardless I think it's pretty a neat name.

I somehow agree with Bloodthirster.. 
I guess Lednor would sound better for his first name.
Lednor Rondel, perhaps?

Hah, fun stuff: Ijnu-Begak sounds like some kinda Star Wars character. And for the record I think Lednor would be an extremely interesting first name, but it's all good.
Will we get a chance to see any new sprites or weapons in this video?

That I do not, Lednor Almost brings a false expectation of a Llednar like character, unto which it is a slight reference but is nowhere near the focal point of the character.

The name is great. Rondel sounds perfect for his part (seriously, Rondel and Gafgarion)... and last names are hardly ever mentioned anyway so it's not too big of a deal what that is even though I don't particularly like his. I don't like half of the last names in FFT.

Yeah. I think Rondel is a great name too. And like LD said, Lednor might be mistakenly known as Llednar by someone, eventually.

Gaffgarion is his last name, his first is Gaff/Goffard.

I'll tell you first off, only placeholder sprites, no new sprites (as it is still relatively early in the game I don't want to bombard the player...) If a finalized weapon sheet can be made. Vanya's Cards, Smash's Claws Over the Ninja Swords ,(where the Bec De Corbins currently are) improved Whip, the new spot of the Bec De Corbins, then it can be put in. It will have to be within anywhere from now to 9 PM though, as I expect to have finished the event at that point.

Not quite. There are more than a few cases where the last name is used and the first not. Elmdor for example. Mesdoram/Messam is his first name. Orlandu is another though I think his first name might be stated and T.G. Cid is a good enough hint at it.

That it will not do... the Claws are currently replacing the Ninja Swords, which are being replaced on that picture pictuer by the Bec De Corbins. Only thing that needs done is put back what was originally where the claws are currently, and change those two two Bec De Corbins into Claws, as well as the ones above those.

Even placeholders will be used,

Too bad. I think we still need to test it and have some feedbacks. :P

Oh yeah...Now that you mention this...Mesdoram Elmdor...yeah.
T.G. Cid...Some call T.G. Cid, like in that meeting with Goltana, Bolmna and others about taxes and etc. (I think); But mostly Orlandu, and T.G. Cid is like a legend name right? So if mention "T.G. Cid", people will know who is it; THE T.G. Cid? Haha
