Sky Render on 20 December 2008
DTG: It's far more than just "references" to Xenogears, particularly in regards to the Xenogears Perfect Works book. Pretty much all of the major plot points in the last half of XS3 are covered in the early sections of XG Perfect Works as the events which led up to the incident during the opening of FMV of XG. As I said, Xenogears is based off of the prototype for the Xenosaga storyline, extracted and made into a standalone game due to it being the most suitable for that at the time. XG Perfect Works, on the other hand, contained all of the "clipped" story bits that clearly tied XG to the proto-XS storyline, and which tie it at least loosely to the finalized XS storyline too.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
