I really want you to keep the scene transitions, both with respect to transitioning from FMVs to gameplay and (far more importantly), moving around from one gameplay area to another. One of the things that really made the world feel real to me was walking in one door and seeing the camera move across/around the landscape to the next one. This is especially true of the Monsaic Lines, but Paramonia did it well too.
A related thing is the way that some screens showed paths in the background that you walk on later in the level. That was cool.

In just about every FMV, sligs are having a discussion in some terrible, unintelligible, guttural language. I think recording 5-10 of these "nonsense" conversations, acted with a twinge of mischief and underhandedness, would not disrupt the atmosphere too much.

Yeah, well... unintelligible, guttural language would not be inconsistent with what I said. I just don't want to hear Sligs gossiping about the weather.
