The correlation between the two is slim at best. In fact other than possibly being in the same universe (many hundreds of years apart, granted), I don't recall any concrete references to Xenogears in Xenosaga.
I'm generally not a fan of game to anime adaptations. I enjoyed the Street Fighter and Fatal Fury anime because they were fun and unpretentious and gave us generally original adventures involving these characters, but stuff like Persona 4 which basically retells the video game story--no matter how well it does it--isn't really my thing. I don't like to see the same story twice, as a rule.
