The opening scene panning down into Cosmo Canyon has new lighting, and slightly different animation in the clouds.

As it pans down into the canyon on Nanaki and his two children, you can see a lot more color and detail in the background, and a much more desert-like sky.

The view over the top of Midgar is much more crisp, has more vivid colors and details. The water now reflects sunlight, and there is a great deal more detail in the distant hills and mountains.

The first view of the Northern Crater shows a change from the original lighting that is now more blue and less grey, and allows better view of the snow in the air.

Upon dropping down into the Northern Crater, Shinra’s helicopter looks slightly different, and there is a better view to the crater walls through the fog and clouds. You can also see the snow swirling around the helicopter blades.
