Yes, this is not something I touched on in my review, but I can clearly see the early influences of FF7 Remake in X-2, and from what I've so far played in FFXII.
There was even a level in FFX-2 that appears to re-occur in FF7: Remake... which amused me thoroughly
Oh I need to get there and see if I get the same impression. I just completed chapter 1 on FFVII remake.
