I think I mentioned in another thread that I was worried about the guilt aspect of the bombing being glossed over, so I'm really pleased with how things turned out in that regard. I only just entered Wall Market so I'm looking forward to (SPOILER) jesse's reaction to some kind of big reveal of shinra's machinations

I kind of like how certain things from the original game that were just strange scenery features are now present and explained. I remember every time I went through Sector 6 I would be like "what on earth is that giant hand claw thing?" and now not only is it present in the remake, it has some kind of explanation of why it is there.

I also really liked the sun lamps, and Tifa commenting on them and how much mako they must use - she is almost acknowledging that those under the plate really need those reactors, too, despite how much it kills the planet.

As for forced walking, in some games it's a vanity thing ("look how beautiful we made this game, slow down and take a look"), but here it seems to fit quite well.
