Speaking of Tolkien's work, anyone else get the sense that a Versus trilogy would be as bloated and incomprehensible as the Hobbit movies?

In Kingsom Hearts case it sufferes more from unplanned on-going storyline. If Nomura were to had an idea of how VSXIII would play out as a trillogy from the get go then I think the possible problems of unplanned sequles would have been minimized.

I would like to point out that J.R.R. Tolkien's style involves a tendency to not explicitly detail the things he introduces. An example would be our first encounter with Elves in the Fellowship of the Ring. There is no detail of height nor physical appearance. You, as the reader, are expected to be intelligent enough to decipher what an Elf is and should mean in LOTR's fictional world through contextual clues, and this is technically what XIII does, even if XIII stumbles at times.

The song ended. ‘These are High Elves! They spoke the name of Elbereth!’ said Frodo in amazement. ‘Few of that fairest folk are ever seen in the Shire. Not many now remain in Middle-earth, east of the Great Sea. This is indeed a strange chance!’

The hobbits sat in shadow by the wayside. Before long the Elves came down the lane towards the valley. They passed slowly, and the hobbits could see the starlight glimmering on their hair and in their eyes. They bore no lights, yet as they walked a shimmer, like the light of the moon above the rim of the hills before it rises, seemed to fall about their feet. They were now silent, and as the last Elf passed he turned and looked towards the hobbits and laughed.

Also, he has never talked about Elvish ears.

The impression I get with KH is less that Nomura doesn't know where he wants the story to end and more that he keeps coming up with stuff that "has to" happen in the meantime and making more games out of it. Even if he had a full outline of the Versus epic in hand before the first game released, I could easily see the end result expanding beyond that. >_>;

This is true, at least within The Lord of the Rings itself. A lot of the details that aren't explicitly mentioned there show up in appendices or other supplemental materials.

Also, he has never talked about Elvish ears.

I thought the problem with Elvish ears wasn't that Tolkien never talked about them but that he said something really vague about them being more leaf-like than human ears and his fandom couldn't come to a consensus about what that implied. XD;

Clearly he meant that all the elves were ex boxers and had cabbage ears

Incomplete list of FFXV triphies. 31 outof 51. This batch is mostly safe, the only potential spoiler is the confirmation of how many summons there.

Basically you will get 15 out of those 31 within the first hour of the game lol... They look pretty easy anyway. A bit too much.
Looking forward to the Platinum anyway.

Get a cotton bud.
Wet it slightly.
Press it around the button crevice so the water slip through slightly.
Leave it for a couple minutes.
Wipe with dry towel/tissue.

I've finally taken the plunge, after months of internal deliberation. I'll be the proud owner of a Collector's Edition Final Fantasy XV Piggyback Strategy Guide.

EDIT: Whoops, it's Piggyback, not Prima.
