Cool to know, anon. Although I'm not surprised; Japan loves recycling the same themes over and over again. You could even argue that the image of hi-tech metropolis that once hovered over the less fortunate being reclaimed by nature goes back even further.

Honestly, most JRPGs often seem to take place at some point during the rise/conceitedness/fall/rediscovery of an extremely advanced-yet-misguided people who abused some kind of unspeakable power. Themes of respecting nature absolutely saturate Japanese media. We had a really nice discussion about this stuff in an FF1 thread a while back. It was comfy.
