Question: are xenogears and xenoblade related?
Answer: As with Xenogears, Xenosaga was planned as a six-episode story, but was cut down to a trilogy due to various factors. ... No direct story connection exist between Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X. The Skells were also a deliberate callback to the Gears of Xenogears. The Xenoblade series is owned by Nintendo.
