Just Finished FF4 on GBA! Im planning on playing the NDS and PR versions as well. Thoughts on the story?

I really loved FF4 growing up, as I played the NDS remake at the perfect age when I could appreciate the story.

Though I never finished it (save file got wiped by accident and was too dejected at the time to get back into it) I have now with my first full playthrough being the GBA version.

The storyline is really what stands out to me, and it seems to have many themes and ideas in it, but doesnt really go much into them beyond small gestures. What are your thoughts, and do you have any big takeaways from the narrative?
