I am not a expert on all the Xeno-meta but I do know that supposedly Xenogears, the first game, was actually supposed to be episode 5 of a bigger arc. Within that game or supplemental works, there was a story about humanity traveling the stars which easily could be pulled from XCX's background story.

Within the game itself, the artificial bodies, the mystery of the ending on the nature of New LA and other stuff could easily be moved towards stories as we see in Xenogears and Xenosaga, but at this point no one really knows if there is a plan or what it is in regards to the meta. Given their chummy relationship with Bandai Namco, a game that more closely links Xenoblade and Xenosaga, probably could be done but we will have to wait and see. XCX could be connective tissue but time will tell because this really wasn't a true stand alone game besides some of the mechanics.

I don't know how far they can even connect the universes to Xenogears or Xenosaga. Xenogears belongs to Square Enix and Xenosaga to Namco as far I can find on the net.

Well, they were allowed of using Kos-Mos as a Rare Blade. I don't think they will go deeper than those references until Namco says "Well, fuck it. You can do whatever you want. Re-Release the games on the Switch if Nintendo plays the publisher."

 

Bandai Namco, Monolith Soft and Nintendo have a pretty cosy relationship. Square Enix could be an issue but it isn't exactly a big one, all they have to do is change the names, have new music and some of the looks for characters and they could potentially do a whole sale Xenogears remake just underneath a different name. If they ever did a remake, the plot would no doubt be altered so it isn't that difficult but there is still always a possibility that they could eventually come to an agreement with Square Enix as well. But linking all the previous game franchises could be done, it would take a massive amount of set up and I get the feeling after the issues with trying to do that with Xenosaga, they aren't in a rush to do all that in one or two games at the cost of game play anymore.
