Final Fantasy 7 Remake had "no option other than a trilogy," lead says, since the "sheer volume" of the original PS1 JRPG was too absurd (www.gamesradar.com)

Interesting that you hate The Hobbit movies with a passion. I know a lot of people aren't fans, but I thought they were all right. I am one of those people that likes The Hobbit novel more than the LOTR trilogy (I love LOTR too, just I like The Hobbit more). Probably nostalgia since The Hobbit was the first novel that I read "independently", school librarian saw a curious 9 year old who hadn't even heard of Tolkien before; I bet it was an easy recommendation for her.

I hated the little of the Ring of Power that I watched; from the first episode it felt like a Tolkien themed generic streaming fantasy story.

The hate mainly stems from how I see it less as art and more as a money grab because it failed to win me over, so I don't begrudge anyone for liking them that's just a personal hang up I'm inconsistent about.

Read The Hobbit as a kid too! I've watched the movies only once in their original form and then a fan edit. The fan edit was on the originaltrilogy forum (or at least was at one point in time) that cut down The Hobbit movie trilogy into a much better IMO single movie. Dropping a lot of The Silmarillion material.

The Ring of Power I didn't try to watch. Wheel of Time left me so disappointed and then I kept hearing nothing good about Amazon's other fantasy series :p

Edit: What do you think of Stephen Colbert making an upcoming movie out of a few ommited from the Jackson movies chapters of the first LOTR book?

Never even heard of this! I am assuming the focus will be on the Old Forest and extending the Bree parts? I got to check this out.
