Almost everything relating to the plot that involves Garleans were already done similarly with evil empires/corporations in other FF games if they didn't just shamelessly rip them out from other games completely with a wink and a nod. Emet-Selch's personality and even his theme song hit really close to Ardyn from FF15.

Stormblood takes a lot of its plot points and even whole locations from FF6.

Then there's the whole thing about the entire story being kicked off by a character named Venat who comes from a race of higher beings and joins forces with the lower beings against her own people in order to change the status quo.
