Achievements template
I was wondering... do I have to use the achievement template on this guide? I find the template doesn't really fit with the overall look of the guide and it's breaking up the flow. Also, the template itself could be improved, it doesn't really say 360 to me in anyway. It just looks very strange.

Later in the walkthrough we have an achievement worth 321 points and that doesn't really fit in the template:

 * I've already been convinced by Minx that the current Achievement template isn't terribly good; I've put together an alternative suggestion on my user page sandbox. --aniki21 08:07, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
 * I'd suggest bringing it up on the forums. -- Prod (Talk) 08:27, 7 April 2008 (CDT)

Indicators for Trade Sequence and Encore-only?
I've been thinking as I read through this and other walkthroughs that perhaps it would help to indicate certain things that you can run across during the game. In particular, I'm thinking about the Trading Sequence and things that can only occur in the Encore (the 2nd playthrough). I was wondering if perhaps an indicative icon could be used to note when the trading sequence is occurring and perhaps things that occur only in the Encore could be indicated by putting them in a box similar to those used for bosses (maybe even make them capable of being hidden until clicked so as to reduce spoil factor). Thought I'd throw these out for discussion.—WhosAsking 16:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * See sidebar, which was created for this kind of thing. - najzere T 17:27, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think the spoiler template is better for the Encore Only parts. Only problem I have with it is that it's a bit gaudy, but sidebar's no better, and at least spoiler allows the concealment of the Encore stuff. I might try the sidebar for the Trading Sequence, though. I've used my personal page as a sandbox so you can preview my ideas.—WhosAsking 19:41, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The only problem with the spoiler is it relies on JavaScript, so any users that don't have it enabled won't be able to see what's inside. If you don't like the look of some of the elements, you're free to make your own template. See Zelda PoH for an example. - najzere T 20:11, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
