    Default Which expanded places/environments did you enjoy the most?

    Kind of a close cousin to the "which character do you feel has most improved" thread.

    Which environmental expansion did you enjoy the most?

    I really liked the train graveyard. I already like exploring abandoned and decrepit places in games, such as the Shinra building in Dirge of Cerberus, so I was really excited to get a fresh take on a familiar place.

    I really like the (SPOILER)glowing ghost messages, and the story behind it especially as a nice contrast to the gloomy area surrounding them.

    Still being able to steal a staff for Aerith from that carriage horse thing is a nice callback, as well.

    It's too bad we didn't have to steal Hardedge from 3-C SOLDIER, but I guess they realized that never made logical sense.

    Anyway, I actually really enjoyed Hojo's lab. It's construction was a little convoluted but it definitely felt more real than the awkward setup he had in the original. I also thought the subterranean lab worked well too.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    above the plate is what i wanted, and above the plate is what i got.

    i like the modern feel of the shinra building. the hojo labs felt a little out of place in that environment, but i give it a pass.

    I really enjoy how they expanded every place, but I would say the Train Graveyard and Shinra Building.

    I didn't feel like we got enough of this. No real above plate exploration. It was always pretty much on rails when on the plate.

    I agree about the train graveyard. I liked that. Also enjoyed the sector 5 reactor expansion. Sabotaging the boss had a Selphie in the missile base kind of vibe. Hard to pick a favorite. I just generally liked anywhere they fleshed things out minus the spectres.

    I feel much the same way, but it was nice to at least see a suburb above the plate, and so on. It was never particularly clear in the original - there were vague references to some kind of middle class above the plate, but it was never really explicitly shown (to my recollection)
