Final Fantasy changes up each time, there is no one Final Fantasy to copy off of. But Call of Duty, yeah that is basically the same thing every-time. Inside Out is conceptually similar to Osmosis Jones but to it's credit at least the cast of characters is different also while Osmosis Jones focuses on metaphors for party of the body Inside Out focuses on parts of the psyche'.

But in the end the reall important part is the life breathed into a work even if it starts out as a rip off of concept. Peter Griffin is estially a rip-off of Ralph Cranston from the Honey Mooners, however as Family Guy went on Peter morphed into his own character. Most CIty of Heroes heroes were made as copyright safe rip offs of DC and Marvel characters but ask any player of City of Heroes if playing DC or Marvel Universe Online is basily the same thing and watch them spit in your face at the very idea. Charaters really only start as copies when they are copied as a work progresses most writers, most GOOD writers, build new aspects of the characters all their own based on where the story takes them and thier own personal projections. How you decide to play Superman is not nessisarily how I would play Superman, and it is those differences that give birth to entirely new characters even if they both use the same skin.
