That is debatable. I'm sure they werent concerned about connecting the game to the series, but it was very clear at the end of Xenosaga episode 3 that they wanted to pursue a story/prequal about the creation of the universe. Xenoblade was hardly a surprise to me. But there sure werent any connections like gears to saga (Ellie, Fei, Citan lookalikes).
Xenoblade really is a bit of a reboot to the series because of that. They did their origin story but cut loose the rest of the series baggage for the most part. It would be interesting to see chaos pop up in one of these games though. He is ancient. Until then we can only speculate connections with the Zohar and Kos-mos power.
