I do appreciate the small details, for me they make the experience much more immersive.
The beauty of dynamic systems is that they make the world less predictable, the same location would feel different even if you visit it twice. The dynamic weather system is obviously not a necessity, but it is up to developers to make most of it. Otherwise it wouldn't be different than patterns except in theory.
Yes, in your example, having a pattern is necessary. The dynamic system can be enabled and disabled as the developer see fit (that would probably require a loading time though).
In FF XV dynamic weather system will have different impact on magic spells. Fire wouldn't set enemies on fire during the rain, lightning would have wider impact. The clothes of the characters would appear wet. All small details but I do appreciate them.

1- Apart from the more accurate representation of weather and light, both X and FFXV seem to be equal in those respects anyway.
2- Will FFXV have the characters hair feel wet too, or will they just have that sheen and still use their amazing hair gel?
3- Also FFXV clocks in at 40 hours I saw on the wiki Could give a clue as to world size? Did they mention travel by airship or how long it would take to cross an area? We can get good estimate on X based on the previous game, and that the creator said 5x the original world to compensate for X, but I'm not saying many ways to estimate a map size for FFXV.
4- So can you car go off road? Or is it a thing of, you park your car and go exploring, because maybe we could use that.

1- They are not equal though, especially how heavy and demanding some of the systems. the most impact they do is to add to the world a sense of randomness to simulate the real-word. They are never meant to affect the core gameplay mechanics significantly.
2- Seems not
3- The main story takes 40 hours according to the director. No mentioned of airship since the game re-revealed. I think what you mentioned is a good indicator that the world of X would indeed be bigger in size.
4- Yes, the latest trailer shows driving off-road.
