The most hated character from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will return for the third part

The remake of Final Fantasy VII has delighted the audience. Loved by veteran fans and new fans alike, the general opinion seems to be that it masterfully expands the mechanics of the original game while better developing its narrative. That said, there are some drawbacks. The open world of its second part, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, became tiresome for quite a few people. And in particular, one character did not sit well with many. His name is Chadley, and you’d better learn to love him.
An Unpopular Character
The reason is that Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, has emphasized that Chadley will have a very important role in the third part of the remake. Stating that “his intense curiosity and tendency to perhaps talk too much —traits of which he is aware and at least somewhat self-aware— will be explored in more detail in the third installment, too,” he has pointed out exactly the reasons why people do not like the character: he is very intense and disruptive.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his fans. As Hamaguchi himself has stated, “we understand that many fans have affection for Chadley,” “but he also wanted to emphasize that it would make me happy if players could warmly follow how Chadley is involved in this story and what role he plays in sustaining it.” Demonstrating self-awareness of all those who are not precisely fans of the character.
In the absence of a date, or even a name, for this third part of the remake, this is practically the only information we have about it. With rumors suggesting that there could be information at the upcoming Summer Game Fest, it is only a matter of time before Square Enix decides to give us more information about the conclusion of the remake of one of the most beloved games in history.
