I can't seem to find the inn keepers pet rat, please will someone tell me where it is. Thank you in advance.

My first impression is that it is frustrating because lots of stuff is not working. But slowly stuff is starting to work, this is to be expected. A couple of things that are bothering me is there's no podcast gamplay and lots of the video's just won't play. I hope these problems get fixed soon, with out hearing and seeing some of the people that work here the site feels very sterile.

Go to the inn, there's a save option there.

Yes, you can always play the game again on hard mode later once you get better at the basics.

Probably will come out late  this year, i hope to start hearing some news about it at E3 in june.

The best way to decide would be to read some of the reviews, the gamespot review is a good one.

I didn't find them to be very useful so selling them is ok.

The Judgement s link kicks in automatically, some time around december.

I really liked Grandia for the PS1, its on the ps store for 5 or 10 dollars.

For me there are no games I want for the 3ds, so why pay $250+tax to play ds games? Plus I absolutly love the bigger screens on my dsi xl, so I am waiting to see if nintendo will releases a 3ds xl. Here's my advice, hardware doesn't matter as much as the games do. Don't waste your money just because its popular and new. Buy it if it lets you play the games you want to play.The less you spend on hardware the more you can spend on games.
