Just got through the Don Corneo sequence; I really loved the HoneyBee Inn segment.
So far, the experience is a fun expansion of this iconic opening. Midgar certainly felt bigger than the several hours it takes in the original game, and this does a perfect job exploiting that. At the same time, some parts feel padded. Also, while I'm finding the combat engaging, I prefer the simplicity of the original.
