Again, it was first done to promote Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and was done again to thank players who gave ARR a chance in the year after the re-release. If it comes back be glad it comes and enjoy yourself but don't pretend that selfish people want to deprive you of your rights.

Actually, (they even stated this, and it was also obvious) they did the even the first time to advertise the game when it launched in Japan and the second time to advertise the game when it launched internationally. Similarly, there was some event in FFXIII:LR were you can get a Mi'qote costume (the racial clothes) for the effect of advertising FFXIV since the during the International release, it was close to the launch of FFXIV on PS4. The only chance for this event to be offered again is to again advertize the launch of the game (which means that if it's not near the PC release, then it's not coming again). That being said, they don't do this for all of their games (e.g. Type Zero) so I wouldn't expect things from FFXV or KH3. Although most people don't remember, but they also did a Dragon Quest event for the same reason around the same period.

IGN stated that they would be doing an event for FFXV. I don't know if they are doing one for KH3 though. I really wished we had one for Type-0 though T-T, Type-0 battle music in XIV would be epic!

Especially in the case of Xenogears, as the Xeno-franchise is owned by a separate company now, SE only has the rights to the original version of the original game.

It would be overall pulled from the Seiken Densetsu series and Chrono series (all of two official games), so not hard to do if it's, for example, a reference to a tree of great power or Lavos per se. On the note of Xenogears, yes SE has the rights and ownership to it, which is also the reason why Xenosaga and Xenoblade can't outright make connections to Xenogears in the first place aside from references with just enough ambiguity to not get in trouble; they are, really, different beasts now, so it technically should be a non-issue for them to pull from Xenogears (like Weltall stomping around, since that is specifically Xenogears).

Why do people like Lightning?

Snow's better by a long shot.

Actually it IS kind of an issue for one kinda sticky reason.
See, Xenogears' producer was the same guy that SE FIRED before they put Yoshida in charge. Add to that, many or all of the writers for the game, and thus the people who created the assets, either don't work for the company or, in one case, are actually dead.
Thus they'd have to shell out royalties to a lot of people they would probably rather not shell out royalties to in order to use anything from Xenogears. Chrono Cross and Seiken Densetsu were also produced by him.
Remember that even getting Terra's Theme into the game, which was created by Uematsu in a main series game, had legal problems before it could be added. Content involving royalties being paid out to people who don't work for the company or were flatout FIRED is very unlikely to happen unless there's a lot of call for it to make it worth paying all those royalties to get.
Sooo yeah we're talking cash shop or nothing here.

I just don't want to see her stupid face and enemies in the game anymore.
