When I first watched the trailer I was unsure if this transit was during the Mako Reactor #1 mission or the Mako Reactor #5 mission. Two arguments soon made me go for Mako Reactor #1.
- For the Reactor #5 mission, in the OG, AVALANCHE divides into two teams (Jesse-Biggs-Wedge and Cloud-Barret-Tifa) and leaves the train at different times.
- After seeing the destruction caused from the Reactor #1 explosion, I really don't think that Jessie would act this casual about the mission. When the Reactor #5 mission begins, Jessie is supposed to be more remorseful and doubtful.
The text below "HAIR TONIC" reads "
Ideal Scalp Care".

Am I supposed to recognize the symbol for this CAUTION sign? I don't recognize it from, well, anything.
I enjoy how the reactor water doesn't look like undiluted mako but simply has a green tone to it. Makes you think more about real-life reactor water.

Only noticed just now that a train is driving past in the background. If anybody ever doubted that this is the Winding Tunnels, it'd be very difficult for them to deny it now.
The graffiti "Keepout" in the background is NOT from the field backgrounds of the original game. I checked all the graffiti just to make sure.

This is the only time in the HUD where
one of the blue bars is completely depleted. This happens to be in conjunction with when Cloud appears to be using Braver. When Cloud is hanging onto the railing at 0:19 these bars are completely gone. Looks then like the blue bars are the equivalent of ATB gauges. I wonder if only special actions will deplete this bar, while simple attacks and blocking won't?
Barret's second blue bar is a little more than half-full at 0:13.

Really appreciating the choir addition to Aerith's theme here.

Whenever the Limit Bar is full there is a green glow right below it. This is especially obvious in the sewer footage here but you can also see it at 0:21 and at 0:42.
