Personally I think it is living up to expectation - I had severe doubts it would be fun, and yet it is a fantastic addition to the line of core Final Fantasy games. If the first thing I thought when playing it was how I wished the other stories could have been told with an engine like this, then I'd say it has a shining place among the games.
I'm excited to see the 7 reboot. I hope they don't fuck with it too much but keep this engine for sure.
I will admit the driving segments do get tedious when you're just running side-quests, but I think that's the result of me over doing it when I should progress the story to not be too OP. I assume this is something they'll fix with New Game + where you will have already discovered a lot of the map already. Spoiler:AND WITH A FLYING CAR.
