Team Asano Adds 1.1.0 Option to Mute Faie in The Adventures of Elliot

3 articles · Updated · Game Informer · Jul 10

Summary

  • Version 1.1.0 for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales now lets players completely turn off companion fairy Faie’s voice across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC.
  • Player complaints about Faie talking too much drove the change, after the game had launched with only a setting to reduce how often she speaks.
  • The patch also adjusts tutorial behavior, fixes FPS drops on some PCs when Faie is present, and resolves minor bugs.
  • The update targets one of the HD-2D action RPG’s most widely criticized features a month after release, while leaving the otherwise well-received game intact.
