(The Imperium of Man refers to the Imperium of the Warhammer 40k franchise.)

Was running some dailies when I suddenly realised:

- both empires are heavily set against 'magic'.
- both are set out to destroy false gods and free mankind from religious beliefs.
- both have the goal to unite/annex mankind.
- both empires are thrown into civil war by the (heavily augmented) son of each emperor.
- both emperors are murdered by their (heavily augmented) son.
- both these sons are corrupted/used/manipulated by a "daemonic" power of an alternate dimension.
- both emperors' corpses are enshrined and used and worshipped to.
- and several other similarities.

Of course, whether either empire is good or evil is up to each individual's point of view.

I'm not blaming anyone of copying. I like those similarities.
Keep the grimdark coming to FF. xD
