1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No. The quality of Squenix games has gone down as of late. I love Final Fantasy. All of them, in fact. I don't have a real problem with any of the games, their stories, battle systems....anything. However, I do now know the value of a dollar. Sure, I would spend two weeks pay on a system like this when I was 16, but now I put my foot down unless I know I will be seriously spending time on that system. For example, I got a DS for 358/2 Days. Now where am I? I have to sit here and look at the 3DS and slap myself in the face while Kingdom Hearts 3DS comes out and I don't have that specific DS? R U serious? My point is, I WANT to play every game Squenix offers, I just don't know if I want to pay the money for every system they decide to put a game out on.
