I thought the scenes at Aerith's house carried a lot more weight than the original. Then you got more time with the original Avalanche gang - I liked the trip up to the surface to meet Jessica's parents. And you got a generally broader taste of life in Midgard, both the good and the bad. That's what ultimately made it feel like a full game, rather than just DISC 1, and one reason I'm not too bitter about paying for this in slices.
I'm hoping places like The Golden Saucer and Mt. Corel and Nimbelheim - and the people in them - get similar generous treatment. There was so much in the original game that felt half-finished. The Remake offers and opportunity to really go ham on such a beautiful setting. Of course, its also possible that we get the FF15 treatment, and end up with even more truncated venues than in the original.
