The Adventures of Elliot Patch 1.1.0 Finally Lets Players Silence Faie
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Square Enix releases Version 1.1.0 for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, adding a much-requested feature to completely mute the talkative companion Faie.
Square Enix is delivering a major quality of life update for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, addressing one of the community's loudest complaints since launch. Version 1.1.0 introduces a toggle to completely turn off support character voice lines. For weeks, players have wrestled with Faie, the constant companion who pops up to narrate every puzzle and detail. While the development team admitted they were initially surprised by the backlash because they had grown attached to the fairy during production, the community made it clear that constant hints were ruining the joy of independent exploration.
This update shows a developer actually listening to player friction rather than doubling down on design intent. When the game dropped on June 18, an initial option to merely lower dialogue frequency failed to satisfy fans who wanted pure silence while solving riddles. By giving players full control over the audio settings, Square Enix is respecting how modern gamers prefer to experience puzzle and adventure titles. You want to figure things out on your own terms, and hand-holding can kill the momentum of an otherwise tight twenty five hour journey.
Despite the chatterbox companion, the HD-2D Zelda-like has earned plenty of praise across PC and consoles for its nostalgic aesthetic, varied boss fights, and tight pacing. You can grab the update right now by checking out the official patch notes on Steam. For a deeper look at how the rest of the game holds up, you can read the full coverage over at Polygon.
