With pleasure. It's a good read.

Xenogears was considered a possible FFVII during the latter's planning stages, though Hironobu Sakaguchi decided against the idea. It was then developed as Chrono Trigger 2, but various circumstances meant it was reformed into Xenogears. This is also a reason why it shares a number of similarities with Chrono Cross, in addition to sharing some staff members.

They certainly did. Namely Hiromichi Tanaka who helmed FFXI right up through XIV's first development phase.

Apparently, Mitsuda was asked to work on FFXI's soundtrack but at the time was busy with... yes, Xenosaga.
