It's also faster to come back here later, since you're en route to Maridia anyway, and you'll have the Speed Booster by then, as well as Hi-Jump. Same applies for the Guardian.

True. But then it wouldn't be early.

No, but getting something early in Super or its hacks is only really beneficial if it is a worthwhile upgrade. An extra two Missiles at that stage is kinda useless. The early Supers in the spike pit is another matter, and is the key to all known sequence breaking for Redesign at the moment.

Yeah, but what about the statue?

The statues alone do nothing for the game, so there is no benefit to getting it early. It is both faster and easier to get that statue when you go back past the other way with the Speed Booster.

But it says, Sector -#- Secured, what's that mean?

In Redesign, one of the hack's main differences is the necessity to 'disarm' 12 Guardian statues to open the way to Tourian.

And I can't believe you're asking! Being interested in hacks / hacking, and NOT having played Redesign is sacrilege, I tell you. Razz

Yes, redesign is the MOAH for sure. I still say nothing has quite touched it yet.

I think a number of hacks have outdone it in a number of ways, but Redesign always has that 'special place' reserved for it due to its sheer scale and scope at the time it was released. There hasn't been a hack yet that's come close to the size. I know that DSO is creating a monster, but that's a while off yet.

I never got around to playing Redesign before. I'm going to go back at it, as I just beat Sigma++.

If you haven't played Redesign, then you have no basis for comparison for all of the others. Not talking

I've played Redesign, Did I say I didn't?

You asked what the Guardians were for, so it gives the impression that you haven't played it, yes.

Forget it. I'm at the IBJ place, Wish me luck.

You don't need luck. You can just shinespark there later, when you go back past on your way to Maridia. It's much easier, for a start.

I want to get use to IBJ in Redesign though, It's practice, I made it half way and fell.

OK, but you know you never need to do it during the game, right? (Unless maybe you're going for 100%)

Never know, I might go for 100%

What'd you say?

I tried going for 100%, I gave up around 88% or so.

I have to use a map when doing 100.0% on redesign. I print out a map on high-gloss paper and then stick it in a photo-album sheet so that it has a plastic cover on it. I then use a sharpie to blot out each upgrade on the map as I collect it. When I'm done I just remove the plastic cover and the map isn't messed up at all, ready for re-use.
