Square Enix Adds Option To Disable Annoying Fairy In Elliot Game

Square Enix has released an update for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, allowing players to completely disable the voice of Faie, the game's chatty fairy companion. The update follows player and critic feedback highlighting the character's excessive and intrusive dialogue. While an initial setting to reduce Faie's chattiness was introduced at launch, many players found it insufficient. The new option provides a more complete solution for those who find the fairy's constant chatter disruptive. Producer Naofumi Matsushita acknowledged the team's initial bias toward the character but admitted the update addresses player concerns. The change reflects a growing trend in game development to accommodate player preferences through customizable settings.
