It is way better than XIII, let me get that out of the way.
Is it a good FF? Well... not exactly. What it did was try to copy Xenoblade, and theres nothing wrong with that. We got a decent game. Theres also alot of influences from the FFXIV:ARR. The game world feels exactly the same bar one beeing more advanced technologically on outposts. Not necessarely a bad thing, but for a cinematic game, the world seems in suspension of disbelief because its citizens hardly react to the major story events diminishing their importance.
The problem is that square is under the impression that it's old FF's formula is outdated, when in fact, it isn't. I mean the FF1-9 formula. Not the FFX one.
There is alot of merit in how the old games managed to portray a whole world, rather than a few regions. On that not the Tales series has made the same mistake.
FFX i think was probably the worst thing to happen to JRPG's. Even though it wasn't the worst thing ever, the inspiration drawn from it certainly was.
So, step in the right direction? It's a step in a better direction. But i do wish they tried to make a new game with the old formula but modern graphics. Some of the old things, like the world mp gave the different regions a real sense of belong in the world. Well... maybe i'd just like to see them do that properly again. What we got in XV is serviceable, but it's not that game that was breaking bounderies in storytelling, characters and dramatic pieces in a whole coehesive world with a tactical combat with amazing over the top special effects where you connect to your whole cast, rather than one character only.

That's one one thing that's really bothering me, aside from being stalked by enemy ships every 200 steps the world lacks the real feeling that a war has even happened. You have towns with buzzing happy music while apparently this big war just happened. Even noct and co don't seem to care to much, being more than happy to help everyone out while his dad only just died 5 minutes earlier.

The movie itself did not help, seeing how we see this talk about the kingdom abadoning the country side, and how things are in ruin and disray in the country side, because of the war revaging the lands.
