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.

I don't get this part of decent sidequests. In FFXII, other than the hunts, getting the Order of Ambrosia rating and completing the License Board, what were the sidequests that it had? FFXII didn't had that much variety in sidequests as well, especially if you compare it to FFX, or even FFX-2

Order of Ambrosia includes getting all the little trophies, yeah?

The game had good sidequests, just that in a lot of places they didn't really feel like sidequests - like the whole fishing thing.

Yeah, pretty much getting the little trophies like Master Yen Badge and Omega Badge to forge the Wyrmhero Blade in order to complete all the weapons trophy, or getting all the bestiary complete and so on. 

It did have some different things to do outside the main scope of the game, yet they weren't full fledged mini-games like you would could the hunts in FFXII or the TCG on FFVIII/FFIX, or chocobo training in FFVII, or monster arena in FFX. At that scope, you have the 60 hunts in FFXIII, or in a similar degree to the order of ambrosia, the trophies for Loremaster or Weaponmaster
