Part 2 starting in the flashback before flashing forward to Cloud telling the story could be a fun way to start, narratively.

I can't wait to see how they show Tifa listening to Cloud's story. She doesn't say a word really during it but can you imagine the emotions/body language they'll show during the bits when it flashes forward back to Cloud as he says things she knows he shouldn't know.

A Midgar game has a very good opportunity to make an indirect Genesis reference in the form of the LOVELESS poem 
Just kidding... Obviously we'd get a DIRECT reference in the form of the remnants of his fanclub!!!111
'It appears to be about LOVELESS...'
Prologue: When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting
Act I: Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.
Act II: There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
Act III: My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desireIs the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
Act IV: My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
'Apparently the 5th Act has been lost to time...'

Shortest play ever. Yet Cid managed to fall asleep during it.

There are so many NPCs in this game that I can’t wait to see. Johnny shouldn’t be too far away ... Corneo ... Hell I’m even looking forward to seeing the Sector 5 bandit enemies.
I really hope they keep the street punk vibe of a lot of the slum dwellers too.

There's literally so many things to explore in more detail in this game that would please so many people. It's a case of the more detail, the better it is.
Someone mentioned that each location would be in the same layout, but I hope that's not the case. I hope that each location is expanded with lots more side quests and groups to get involved in. Like others have discussed, jobs to do on the side to make money etc.
I do think this game will be insanely good. I didn't massively like FFXV, but I think i will take the better elements of it.
The most important bit is keeping the story alive and each individual characters story, with hopefully a few of the silly bits to go with it. Imagine how good Gold Saucer will be!

Corel. I want to know about the specifics of how that place worked before Shinra sold them a bill of goods. Always thought of the Corel Mining Company as this sort of pre-Shinra powerhouse that was employee owned and operated, which is why they were shmoozed at first.

Well each sector is ultimately pizza-shaped, but that’s like saying you can’t have a variety of 40x40 rooms. Each sector of the slums in the OG was its own unique labyrinth of debris, and the plate is a city same as any other. Cloud’s illusion of Sephiroth takes place in a back alley on the plate — extrapolation from that location makes me think of Midgar as absolutely dwarfing Rabanastre in scope and feel.

Was watching the trailer again today and was thinking about how Barret was talking about sacrifice. I'm betting his words are going to come back to haunt him after the plate collapse and Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie are all caught in it. It probably never even occurs to him until that moment that his own statement applied to his team as well. Should lead to some great character moments for him, I think.

I'm thinking that the pillar collapse may be moved back or more added before it for us to do so we have more time with Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie (we haven't seen anything yet about that part of the game, by the way). This would give them more opportunities for character development and make their loss later have more of an impact. Ending the first disc with the pillar collapse could be a good way to do it, then start the second disc with Cloud, Barret, and Tifa in the ruined playground right afterward and go from there.
