Games that inspired PoE

We all know the main inspiration for PoE was early Diablo games but has anyone noticed any other similarities to other games? I have.

Castlevania

"Titty gunners" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HSvaglcMpLg#t=400 Skip to 6:40 if it doesn't by its self.

Magic find http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Ring

Chaotic Realm http://youtu.be/6v8XtnmDbWo End/after game content which has strangely familiar places much like Maps or the old PoE end game Maelström of Chaos. At 3:00 you can see a monster that may have been the inspiration for Animate Weapon Gem.

Spectral Throw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrdussWfJyc&feature=player_detailpage#t=88 Skip to 1:27 if youtube fails to do so. I also just noticed from the video that PoE and that series both have a lot of mobility skills.

Mortal Kombat

Ice Spear, Freeze and shatter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQSMWcXoVA0&feature=player_detailpage#t=25 Skip to :25 if youtube doesn't

Brutus hook http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otfscflt65U&feature=player_detailpage#t=140 2:20

Mortal Kombat invented the idea of freezing then shattering someone.

The gem system is the same as Final Fantasy 7 and the passive tree is just like the spear grid in Final Fantasy 10.

Simon Pheonix was the first person ever to be frozen and shattered. This is backed up by Science.
