5 questions that i need to know about the game before i play again:

01) When the hell am i gonna get summons or ASHE? im in the part where im saving Penelo and its like okay im a quarter done w/ the game and still only 4 characters.

02) Why is the guide telling me all the hunts for like the Cockotrice hunter when its like level 19 and im still level 10 which is good for where im @ (saving penelo area)

03) Which items should I Keep and should i sell them for other stuff??

04) Why is Fran an invisible character in the game?? does she actually get shown? shes like the Khimahri of the game and shes almost as cool as Lulu, my favorite character ever next to Laguna/Zell/Selphie.

05) Is the game long compared to X?
