Not really. Square always tried to stray from the formula with every single game. It may appear as consistent to us, now but in the 90s they were just confined by technology. As soon as they had more power they tried more things, simple as that.
If turn based rpgs are your thing then -from my perspective- you were never primarily a Final Fantasy fan.

I'd say it's not underappreciated because most people don't expct the same things from a FF game as you. It was just a dated 90s homage at best. Lots of folks want to discover something fresh with every new FF game, both on the story and gameplay front.
