Final Fantasy XIII better than Final Fantasy XII?

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.

I have played FFXII for 170 hours, while most seem to get 100% of the trophies for FF XIII under the 100 hours mark.

You can collect Eidolons, collect title's, there are way more superbosses in FFXII, there are more gear/ items to collects. etc...

And maybe you wheren't able to follow the story or perhaps a bad story to you means the lack of melodrama?

 

 

You played for 170 hours and didn't collect everything? Sorry, but I call BS. 

I did 100% on my first playthrough on FFXII in less than 120 hours. On my second playthrough, I forged my first Tournesol at 65 hours and defeated both Yiazmat and Zodiark at 90 hours, finished everything up at 98 hours.

So you took your sweet time with FFXII and are trying to pass that up as a proper measure to FFXIII? At least, be fair.

Oh, and I love how you're taking your points to people less knowledgeable with FFXII and avoiding discussion with someone who probably knows as much or more than you about FFXII :P
