Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthis out now, and that means players are naturally bullying a returning nerd called Chadley, just like they did four years ago in Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Fast forward four years and Chadley’s irritating head has once again emerged in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Players are now discovering, to their horror, that Chadley is alive and kicking in Rebirth, once again following Cloud and his friends around the whole of the Planet and basically trying to get them to try out his snazzy VR headset whenever possible.
Now there’s no shortage of clips showcasing Chadley’s dorkish side. Just below, for example, you can see a clip of Chadley trying to imitate the dancers found around Costa Del Sol, only he does a pretty downright terrible job with the flowing movements.
And yes, the Twitter user below is correct; we don’t give Final Fantasy 7 Remake nearly enough of a hard time as it deserves for spawning Chadley in our lives. Someone atSquare Enixhas to answer for why this little dweeb has been following us around for two games now, four years apart.
Oh, and as the Rebirth demo player pointed out just below from last month, Chadley has created a girlfriend for himself, but she’s trapped inside a computer. Some are actually taking this new character as Chadley’s “girlsona,” which, if true, paints the character in a whole new light.
In short, Chadley is a menace, and somehow Square Enix has gotten away with this for the second consecutive Final Fantasy 7 Remake game. It’s true thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth is at its best when it embraces its goofy side, but did that goofy side have to include this little idiot?
