Unless they all get sequels, it ain't happening.
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).

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.

Snip.

Well, I suppose the only suitable reaction from me is looking wistfully to the past and inwardly weeping for those franchise futures. ~_~
