Chadley is so annoying uuuuurgh

[ProfessorFrog]

This guy is talking during every small thing you find in the game. I just want to enjoy the music and exploration, and the ff7 feeling. This gets interrupted too much by chadley who is not really that ff7 like.
Especially those lifestream springs with music that was meant for a *very* special moment in the original game, now being used as background music for chadley's talks, which interrupts the mood.

Enjoy 100+ hrs with him, bc he doesnt leave ever

[dgresevfan]

Oh NO. I hoped he was only a mistake made by the programmers of the first game.

WHYYY?

Chadley was fine in Remake, he was just another character to interact with, now in Rebirth though he's literally your #1 point of contact for all the fluff stuff in the wilds, oh and they decided to give him video calling to you so he can interrupt you ALL THE DAMN TIME with everything you do, enjoying finding this thing, phone call, beating up these unique enemies, phone call ... ♥♥♥♥ off CHAD!

I literally skip every piece of dialogue involving him, can't stand him at all and offers literally nothing to the story or fun.

[Takfloyd]

He's pretty horrible, but you CAN turn his voice off, or at least you could in the PS5 version.

Square Enix really doesn't understand to let you just explore in peace.

I heard that at the end of part 3 there is a mini game where you can give chadly wedgies as the developers way to apologize to users for having to deal with him. :D

So from another thread complaining about MAI, apparently if you have a ps5 controller you can set the transmissions to play through the controller's speaker. Then you can lower it's volume.

yeah gotta have the controller wired in to the PC for that too though, I could do that but I've just got myself in the habit that now that whenever Cloud pulls out that video device I just hold in the triangle button and it goes away.
I actually hate skipping anything but half way through chapter 2 I couldn't take it anymore, he offers nothing to story and interrupts all the time, I miss nothing by skipping it since I can read all the info I need in the quest log, and now hope for a mod can remove them lol

Chadley is the well acktually meme. He;s definitely got the tism and while at times it;s endearing, it's also super annoying. Like, bro, send a text like normal people. We don't need this much face time lol. Works though because that's kind of his character.

[RawHero]

Don't talk about the goat like that

You're new with Japanese games?

[Bluemoon]

There is a fast forward button, which lets you skip his speeches with 1.5 or 2x speed.

We need to push them to add a "Stop talking so much, Chadley" update.

Horizon Forbiden West has a similar mod, so here's hoping. PS5 users and PS5 gamepad users can overcome this though...
