FFXII is a modern classic right there with Ocarina of time, MGS and FFVII, while FFXIII is a game that's feels rushed (admitted by the director) and more like a solid 8 game.

XII is bigger, better and just more fun to play.

Bigger yeah, more fun to play? I highly doubt it. (IMO)

It's my opinion of course, but not even the biggest FFXII haters can deny that it is a more complete package than FFXIII, which should have been another year in devopement for some real towns and decent sidequests.

The lack of explorable towns is a direct result of the story FFXIII is telling. They are on the run from the law and are feared by everybody in Cocoon.  You can't possibely go around towns and shop like you do in other jrpgs. Also, FFXII is had dry characters, an almost non existent storyline and a battle system that plays itself.
