And the main characters would eventually learn to like each other. There's no way to get it done if that doesn't happen. So beyond the basic skeleton of fantasy heroes ill-equipped for the task ahead of them, it'd be completely different. But them's the compromises you make in the real world.

It's also dipped in overall Asian Mythology and deals with the elements of Earth, wind, Fire and water and their representations are mirrored over the main characters and their personalities.

... it's final fantasy for kids, really...

It's 4 seasons long, has a few videogames and now a movie by james cameron... so, yeah, the idea sells.
