Oh and about BG&E
The game is quite glitchy especially the Gamecube version.
There are several 'game ending' glitches which you could encounter especially one called the 'partner disappearing glitch'.
Just make sure you keep a back up save otherwise you could end up being screwed near the end of the game (It happened to me on my first play through). Trust me its not fun to start all the way from the beginning.
