      The camera just pulled out... and out... and out, intimidating you with a proper perspective of this thing the Shinra Corporation had enough clout and funds to create when they were less powerful. I felt so tiny.
      And you can even see they were working on _expansion_ ... there was construction equipment and clusters of lit buildings on those plate extensions outside the wall.

    The transition of Sephiroth's theme overlapping Aerith's theme feels like an ominous storm hanging over the horizon. Gives a sense of how Aerith feels hearing the Planet's desperation and pain.
    We've never really been able to see or understand exactly how Aerith feels the planet communicating with her beyond 'talking', but with this I can feel the warning the planet is giving Aerith. Urgent. Pay attention.
    Tactfully done. So excited for this.

Rather than appearing at the end of Midgar, he is now showing that he is lurking all the time, even in the opening cutscene.

    I know I'm late to the party. But, playing this at 144hz max settings was one of the best experiences of my life. I've spent countless hours playing FFX and I never got the chance to play FFVII cause I didn't own a ps1 back in the day and I wasn't familiar with custom firmwares and everything so I could play it on ps2. When I heard that there was going to be a remastered version of this coming out for the ps4, I smiled from ear to ear and got a copy at day one. Now, a full year latter and I just finished the pc version. The characters, the fun to play style of the game, the direction, I'm simply so happy that there will be a whole another generation learning about one of the greatest franchises of all time. Can't wait for part 2!
