Typically, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through technical specs. The graphic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E3 and GF2.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E3 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-E3 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-E3 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
