DFRPG / Any other settings you're planning to use this system for?

I love the Dresden Files and have a game set there in the works. Still, the baseline system looks easy enough to tweak for a number of other settings and I'm curious to know which ones people are looking at and why.
Exalted looks like a pretty good match, you'd have to figure out a way to change spell durations and alter some price/benefits on the various forms of magic. Fate Points keeps the resource management alive while Compels/Invocations largely take the place of stunts.
Negima might be a good match; you'd have to increase power and durability but all the base effects are handled by the system.
There's any number of JRPGs that might fit as well; Shadow Hearts, Breath of Fire, and Star Ocean holding dear places. Of the three, Shadow Hearts is almost possible to create without adjusting things all that much; Yuri and Co. just have really high Refresh Costs. Breath of Fire is pretty much the same; older dragons seem to line up in terms of power for each.
So, what would you try to run with it and which parts would you tweak?
