The characters in XII just weren't that impressive IMO. Ganon has done things like turned the Golden Land into the Dark World, survived a castle falling on him, and broken the seal of the seven sages while trapped in a different world. I find these to be much more impressive feats than the things Vaan and his friends did.
Well Squall for one can create a giant beam attack that extends into space, other energy attacks and use various Limit breaks that kick ass AC Cloud style. Also in Dissidia he was going toe to toe with Sephiroth, beat Kuja and the Warrior of Light and beat a time-stopping Ultimecia twice. In fact I believe the second time she was Time Compressing, which would mean he beat TC Ultimecia solo.
Zell can create fissures in the ground with punches, showing how unbelievably freakin' stong he is and run around the planet in about 4 seconds.
Selphie can cast The End, which one-shots anything in the game except undead and a few of the bosses.
Rinoa has her dog Angelo, which is about as strong as Zell for some reason, can grant the team temporary invincibility and can, according to wiki, 'knock enemies into space and attack them 8 times, doing heavy physical damage to one enemy'. She can also activate her Angel wing state in which all her attack's become 5x as powerful and she turns into a magic-based beserker.
Irvine has a series of gun-based attacks including gert ****-off lazers and defence ignoring bullets etc.
Quistis can use a bunch of Blue magic, as indicated here- http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Magic_%28Final_Fantasy_VIII%29
Between all of that happening simultaneously, I think Ganon goes down.

So are the guys in VIII much better than the party in XII?
XII characters (at least the ones you play as) are the second least impressive of all the Final Fantasy characters (FF1 would be the least impressive). IMO, this is how they all line up
FF6
FF8 (if not above FF6)
FF7
FF5
FF4
FFX
FFXII
FF1
I haven't play FF2, FF3, FFIX, or FFXIII so aren't in this list.
EDIT: I think I'm gonna have to rethink my list. Vaan & friends did defeat the Undying who can cause massive destruction.

How big were these fissures, where was he, did it break anything significant?
I still think this planet run is probably similar to Supernova.

He turns into a giant and runs around the world in a few steps, then shrinks again and begins the attack.
A giant running around like that would destroy anything in its path. This doesn't happen, obviously.

It's one of his Limit Breaks, all of which can be seen here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UND7dleKDY8
Burning Rave (fissure) is at 0.30+, Different Beat (crater) is at 2.00 and My Final Heaven (planet thing) is at 2.20

It isn't, as he actually runs past his opponents fast enough to spin them round, then dissappears into the distance, then comes in from the opposite side of the screen, so unless he's running around the edge of vision and then into the screen, he actually runs around the world.

No. No, he doesn't.

Do we see him run around the world? I'm betting there's a midget with a dimension door in his ear where Zell runs to.
Regardless, nothing impressive next to Ganon who has city level destructive feats.
I'm not aware of those, what are they.
He also has global feats such as a world wide storm and turning off the sun, both without his full power. The island busting happened without his full power as well.
