I don't think so. The Hakkinryu's and the Ganryus are reskinned Twintanias, but Shinryu itself is just too large to be a redo of Eggnog and Hraesvelgr. The legs hold his body way higher off the ground, and not just due to his size, and his head/neck don't arch back and up like an S. Then in the first phase when he's floating by the platform, that's entirely unique as far as I can tell. I just don't see it being a bigger Eggnog at all.

As for the Ivalice raid bosses, ok, which ones are reuses of what prior bosses? I could see Yiazmat being a reuse of Vishap.

You're saying that Sephirot's giant frame was used for the earth elemental in Swallow's Compass, Seiryu, and Mt. Gulg? I mean, they've got some similar mechs, but that one seems completely different. Like they'd have to turn so much invisible on the arms.

Seiryu I can sorta see the Zurvan reuse, but Suzaku, you're gonna have to point out the stitches.
