Interesting... I'll just run through that, if that's okay. Note: This is only the original, as I'm not at all far in the remake, and haven't played/seen the spin offs. Also, tagging as a spoiler, mainly due to it not being that relevant to the thread, so people can skip if they want - though there is a spoiler in there.

(SPOILER)Sector 1: Briefly travelled through for the first Reactor mission - I think you can see hints of houses on the way. At least some of it may have been destroyed.

Sector 2: Not shown.

Sector 3: Not shown.

Sector 4: Plate interior shown en route to Sector 5 Reactor, but actual town not shown.

Sector 5: Shown as an actual town.

Sector 6: Under construction, but contains Wall Market which is shown as an actual town.

Sector 7: Shown as an actual town, but later destroyed.

Sector 8: Visited both early and late in the game, but town not really explored.


It would have been nice to have had a chance to visit the towns we didn't the first time around, in my opinion. - overall, only three Sectors had the actual towns explored, not to mention whatever else was there. I get the idea that Midgar is supposed to be a place you're glad to leave, but the fact that they allowed you to go back in if you chose to, it would have made some level of sense for you to see the places you didn't before (though thinking of it, I don't know how you'd suddenly be able to get to them - and the overall point to going back was to get at least the Premium Heart, I guess...)

Note: This isn't meant to correct you or anything, as I respect your knowledge of the franchise, and can tell you do your research - it just sparked my interest and curiosity to really think about what Sectors are shown.

Hope this didn't go too off topic.
