To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z fc using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon Z6 II will deliver greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent Z fc should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
