Final Fantasy Basic Story Themes

[ExHaseo]

I've begun to notice that each Final Fantasy game has a very basic idea/theme in them. However, I can't exactly pinpoint what each one is. So, I'm asking you guys if you can help me out. I didn't include XI and XIV, since they're MMO's.

Here's what I've got so far:
Final Fantasy - ?
Final Fantasy II - ?
Final Fantasy III - ?
Final Fantasy IV - ?
Final Fantasy V - ?
Final Fantasy VI - Anarchy
Final Fantasy VII - Pollution I guess, obviously environmental and against big business, but it's hard to put into one word
Final Fantasy VIII - Love
Final Fantasy IX - ?
Final Fantasy X - Death
Final Fantasy XII - Politics
Final Fantasy XIII - Racism

FF1 - There's not much story to go on. Saving the world is the best I have...
FF2 - Can't remember the story, though there is a bit more of one.
FF3 - Friendship maybe? Honestly not sure about this one either
FF4 - War perhaps
FF5 - ?
FF7 - Greenpeace for sure
FF9 - has to be the theme of love and war. Both are pretty constant throughout, though I'm not sure which is more prevailent...probably love?

Not very helpful maybe, but here you go :$

Hmmm FF1 may be about saving the world from evil? Maybe environmental issues (earth rotting, for instance)?
FF4 is about facing your evils within you and putting the past away, defeating your inner self that is evil and starting over to do things right again.
FF7 is about technology and how corporations can rule the world and can supercede governments.
