I honestly rank XII amoung the worst ff games made. Couldnt relate to characters, story was less than engaging (if not a rip off of star wars, seriously) battle system was actually fun, but in my opinion, the only thing that felt good about it. The world map was also quote beautiful. But with a bad story and bad characters, it ranks amoungst the worst in my opinion.

FF7 had great characters, amazing music, superb production value, engaging storyline, battle system, array of monsters, side quests, balanced development and progression, great variety of weapons and side story, optional characters, mini games, bosses and pretty much everything you would expect of a great JRPG.

It also started my ongoing obsession with Tifa.

FFXII has everything in that but better. Your opinion way different.

Name one mini-game in ffXII?

Too bad I can't leave at that. Got to add more words. Both of these games are in my top tier but right now XII reigns supreme. It offers the blandness I like. A Matsuno game just like FF Tactics or Tactics Ogre. Playing those two games plus XII I can see the style permeate.

P.S. Another mini-game - the races in Balfonheim.

I kinda agree with Rowan about lack of mini-games, although "Chocobo Hot & Cold" and "Triple Triad" are only ones I had fun with through entire franchise so it's not really all that big deal to me... as far as everything else goes, Final Fantasy XII is vastly superior not just to VII, but other games in franchise as well, but that's just my opinion.
