This is why I like FF and SE

[XxOstiaxX]

Except Xenosaga isn't a SE game at all, and that's the exact reason why it couldn't be directly related to Xenogears.

Also, the new Xeno game (Xenoblade) is pretty awesome.

It is still SE Fault! They dint allow the xeno team to make a direct sequel or prequel since SE owns the rights to xenogears, and even when the xeno team was working for SE they dint let them make anything worthwhile, hell they even cut their resources when xenogears was being made, just so square could finish FFVII <.<
