We know for sure that Xenogears was once Final Fantasy 7, but there's another rumor going around saying it was Chrono Cross 2.

From the Japanese Chrono Cross entry on Wikipedia:

"Chrono Trigger 2" and "Xenogears"

Xenogears originally began its planning and development as Chrono Trigger 2; after Xenogears was done being created the team regathered to make a sequel to Chrono Trigger, and the Chrono Cross team had a lot of the same staff as Xenogears. As a result, the game has many similarities, and the style of battle system is a sort of evolution of that in Xenogears.

Also, in the demo movie of Xenogears this line is used:

"So let love's blood flow! Like the seas of hell, it runs red and deep...!"*

This line does not appear in Xenogears' script, but was later used in Chrono Cross' script.

Furthermore, Lucca, a character from a previous game, appears in Xenogears as a guest, whose last bonus line makes a reference to the Silbird** and such.


*Translated as "Now, let love bleed! Darker and deeper than the seas of hell!" and uttered by Lynx in Chrono Cross.

**Epoch

The above translation was done by Andrew Vestal, who co-wrote this article a good 12 years ago.

Now, after much searching and with the help of Mako from Xenogears-Fansite a page full of demo videos, including the one in question, has been found. The line appears about 1/3rd of the way through this video, when the red Transformer-like face appears on the screen.

Does anyone have other proof of this theory?

This was something I was speculating with my sister about for sometime; all I got is theoretical reasons for it being CT 2, nothing hard and firm.

URIs must be properly escaped, they must not contain unescaped
characters below U+0021 including the space character and not
above U+007E. Tidy escapes the URI for you as recommended by
HTML 4.01 section B.2.1 and XML 1.0 section 4.2.2. Some user agents
use another algorithm to escape such URIs and some server-sided
scripts depend on that. If you want to depend on that, you must
escape the URI on your own. For more information please refer to
http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-and-ident.html

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
