Fictional works that influenced the Xenosaga series

I have of course not forgotten about Xenosaga. Here is the beginning of an article series centered on analyzing Fictional works that influenced the Xenosaga series. While playing through Final Fantasy VI I noticed that it had similarities not only with Xenogears but also with Xenosaga, so before I leave FFVI behind to analyze other media I figured I should also write the article covering Games that influenced Xenosaga. It has been added to the Articles section.
