Okay, no one ever seems to agree with me, so I'm anticipating that, but I thought that FFIV's and FFIX's plot were EXTREMELY SIMILIAR.

Two brothers, one bad, one good, a guy on the moon/moon-like world, displacing souls onto another world, yadda, yadda, yadda. There's more, but I've had this conversation so many times to no avail that I don't even want to look back into my old speculations, haha.

As for magic, well, I guess it has charm... I don't think IV had as much charm as FFIX.

I can't think of any non-FFs right now.
