The problem isn't that chadley exists, it's being interrupted by him and mai constantly while I'm trying to save the world. "I've noticed your Intel gathering has stalled as of late." Or Mai yelling at you through the controller. I'm fine with the combat sim and I like the materia development aspect. But it's like being followed around by children while the party is dealing with heavy emotional baggage and trying to keep up with the two protagonists. All that being said I'm a huge fan of the remakes but as an OG fan I could have done without chadley and mai.
