Beat the game today at a nice even 60 hours. Played in normal and did about 80% of the optional stuff and sidequests in every area I'd say.
Overall thoughts are that the game is a 10/10 until the end of chapter 10.
Very mild spoilers about the game's quality:

An 8/10 until chapter 13, and a 4/10 in chapter 14. Definitely feels like they ran out of money and/or time after doing the Cosmo Canyon region.
Heavier spoilers about the plot (still somewhat non-specific):
Spoiler!
There's no time travel whatsoever, just our normal Sephiroth messing with parallel dimensions (more like Zero Escape than Chrono Trigger). Which means that instead of departing from a simple premise that he knew the future in this game, instead there's just this whole bullshit tacked on top of a very straightforward FF7 plot. "Unknown journey" and "defying fate" my ass.
