On Xenosaga: it was officially announced some time before episode three of the series came out that Xenosaga has nothing to do with Xenogears anymore, and that Xenosaga ends with episode three (opposed to the original plan of six episodes, with Xenogears considered as the fifth). Namco wasn't able to get the rights to the story of Xenogears from Square, so they considered Xenosaga as an entirely different universe.
As for the game itself, Xenogears is much better than Xenosaga in almost every aspect, except graphics (definitely. LOL!) and probably the battle system. I finished the first episode, tried playing the second, didn't bother with the third. I wasn't dragged into the story and there was too much loading (and cinematics) for me to handle. Definitely hands down to Xenogears over Xenosaga.
