Why is final fantasy X viewed better by fans than FFXII?

Here an idea: post a youtube video clip of where you think Wakka said or done something racist. I mean what better proof than by video?

After losing any reasonable fight with the zealots of yevon Cid and the escaping albhed decide its better to end their people suffering and blow up home- After singing the hymn they luanch the rockets- and this is how wakka responds to rikku- who by now; He knows full well the situation. 
 the line is infamous cause its the moment most people lose all respect for the character.its striaght up cruel.

I'm guessing it's because X caters more to that anime style that fans of the series like whereas XII is more like a western fantasy, with a big focus on politics and less over-the-top action.

Personally, I prefer XII because I prefer its story and richer characterisation but I can see how someone who expected something a bit more animesque would be disappointed with it.
