I got the message only because...I had an action replay cheat on for me to have missles and power bombs (and it gave me fully upgraded missles, yay OHKO Arachnus) and so I thought I'd skip diffusion (to see what would happen) I found the secret message 'course I didn't know about it at the time so I browsed round the internet, found gamefaqs forum, first topic, first post, secret message and a link to m2k2 and that's my story to the site (I done both ways of secret message after)
I haven't been able to get the secret message and I doubt I could ever get it. It's not that I suck at fusion, it's just that I lack the patience to try to get the message on my own. I'd spend hours trying to get the timing right.
For those of you who have gotten the secret message, I envy you. Congratulations.
It's not that hard if you're willing to play Fusion frequently and get really, really comfortable with the controls and movements. I did it once then realised that I didn't really like Fusion. Soon after, I quit playing the game alltogether.

You should pick better things to envy people over.
I got the Message in both ways. The usual one was hard but certainly not impossible, just hard to master. The second trick is way easier. (Though this was over 2 years ago)
I've never really bothered to try to get Fusion's secret message...
...I have been trying to get all the monster-dropped summons in Final Fantasy IV Advance, at the earliest points in the game that they can be found, though; I'm at 14 hours 14 minutes currently, and still need to pick up the Goblin summon (I've found two Cockatrice summons) before I can enter Mist. Then, I'll be able to continue the game as normal until I reach Mount Hobs, which is where I'll be able to pick up the Bomb summon.
The only thing that's kept me sane is only working on it a little at a time.
...Sorry, I know that was pretty irrelevent, but it's one of those things you just have the urge to get out.
I only bothered twice to get the secret message a couple years ago. Both times I failed miserably. I don't really care about getting it anymore because I fail to see to see the point.

IIRC, the enemies on Mt. Hobs don't drop the Bomb summon. I suggest you check your Bestiary after killing them to confirm this.
Whaddya know, they don't! I was under the impression that Bombs dropped them, but it looks like I'll have to wait until the Tower of Babil; as such, it looks like my next stop will actually be the Magnetic Cave, for the Mindflayer summon.
Thanks for the heads-up on that.
...And now I'll shut up, before I end up de-railing this thread.
I've tried 15 bajillion times. Best I ever did was get about halfway up the tall shaft. It is really hard for me to get through each part of it without stumbling on the controls.
