Final Fantasy IX - FFVI Goddess Statues

Inside the Dessert Palace, in Final Fantasy IX (disc 3), u can find three Statues in a room, if u look carefully, this statues looks a lot like the ones from Final Fantasy VI (III US)...
We all know Final Fantasy IX is a FF with lots of elements from other FFs... Is this another one?
Let's see...

Here you can see the statues in FFIX:

When u examine the statues, the center statue says:
Illusion of the Goddess
The path will open when the lamp is lit.

The left one says:
Promise of the Evil God
The bloodstone is the source of his power. Each color holds different powers.

And the one on the right:
Truth of the Devil
The bloodstone is proof of his power. Hide the light with your hand.

Wow!... We have a Goddess, an Evil God, and the Devil.
Just like in Final Fantasy VI, when we had Goddess, Poltergeist, and Doom!



In both games, u can see that the center statue is a cute female statue, while the other two are gargoyle style statues...
Besides, they are in the same position in both games... Lets remember that in FF6 is said that the statues should not change their position, cause that way they maintain the balance of the world...

I think this is not mere coincidence... =/
