i have just relised that ff7 ff9 have stolen alot of stuff off ff4 i am very disapointed it seems to me if they are doing this they are running out of inspuration what are we to do
All the games steal from the other. For that matter, most games made by ANYONE are stolen from everyone else. Even in literature, do many of the same concepts occur in different books, even if the two authors have never met, known the other existed, or even wrote in the same language.

Love and conspiracy of abuse of power is a VERY common trait in any plotline.

They were not running out of inspiration, but FFIX was made purely as a throwback to the old school games, considering the fact that Square released FFVII, and VIII, which were radically different from VI or IV. Fans were getting upset.

IV and VII are insanely different. Just because they have the ATB or same circumstances for a final battle does not mean that the games were made because of lack of inspiration. The rest of the game is totally different. You only notice the final battle because you are looking specifically for a final battle similarity.

Oh no! Six and nine year old games stole from a game even older!

ALERT THE PRESSES, WE MUST CATCH THESE CRIMINALS.
Z0MG! FF WAS EVEN MADE 1N TEH FIRST PLACE! C0NSPIR4CY! TH3R3 1S CONSP7RACY! WE MUST AL3RT TEH PRES5ES AND TEH PEOPLE5 WHO HAVE BEEN GYPPED BY TEHSE GAME M4KORS! TEHY STOLE A PL0TL1NE AND US3D 7T TO SURVIVXX0RS! TEH PRE5SES!

ELOHEL, The Devourer of Worlds. Good thinking.
