Chadley

[Purple Nurple]

I hate Chadley

[DrPepperProduct]

I found him kinda charming in the first game.. in this one I was done after five minutes. Every time he starts talking (way too often) me and my wife are both just like "Shut UP!" Not sure what they were thinking with this. Doesn't ruin the game for me but they could've done it better.

Hopefully mods will fix this.

I feel the same way. I had no problem with Chadley in the first one but for rebirth the constant interruptions while exploring are very annoying.

If it didn't pause the gameplay, it wouldn't be so bad. Why can't he just talk while you're moving?

He's just so unlikeable. Just kill him off in Part 3 and replace him with Mai

You're giving the writers a bit too much credit...

I mean, we already got Greg in Rebirth, all we'd be missing is Shinryu. The writers would be lazy NOT to do it. Chadley/MAI are going to turn out to be the toughest optional superboss, mark my words.

Yes Chadley is annoying.
But Aerith is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ childish ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, in the original i dont liked her but in R & R i really learned to hating her even more and i smiled as she get killed finally.

I remember a STFU Lydia mod for Skyrim, hope the modders can do something similar for Chadley, bro talks too much, my main issue with him. Tho the summoning materia from him is weird too, I get he can recreate it but with the new Divinity summoning altars, I'd rather have them be a natural boss encounter with lore, that woulda been better given the large world exploration, rather than just 3d printing materia that contains what the game itself call divinities.

Yeah, below I'm sharing an ingame way to shut them up. The summoning materia is particularly annoying with him saying the same thing over and over when you sincronize, that was pointless. I'm kinda ok when he's sharing a new finding, but even then he's far too prevalent in the exploration aspect of the game.

Her sister is so annoying too, like im fighting and she babbles the whole time.
At least shes only there during fighting side quests, not all the time like this dude

If you are playing with a PS5 controller, under option/audio make the transmissions go to the controller speaker and set the speaker volume to 0, it's a godsend with the special monsters battles. It was a bad call to continue yapping the "lore" once combat starts, and her cheering adds nothing but noise to the combat.

This works also for most Chadley audio, sometimes it will feel off as the other characters will talk (for example, the fort condor side quest), but I take that any time of the day.

Oh geez, I was so close to forgetting about Lydia. No recency bias here; I actually think Lydia was more annoying—but it’s close.

True! Mai is surprisingly not annoying to me.

[Tanukki]

His AI waifu should've been called ChadGPT. Lost opportunity.

Chadley is annoying, cause he rings you every 5 metre you walk in the open world, Mai just for her specific quests, that is the difference :)
