Final Fantasy XVI director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has politely requested fans avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" mods for the PC release.
Final Fantasy XVI PC Launch: September 17
Yoshi-P's Plea for Respectful Modding
In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshi-P addressed the upcoming PC launch of Final Fantasy XVI, making a clear request to the modding community: refrain from creating and distributing mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." While PC Gamer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshi-P prioritized the avoidance of harmful content. He stated he wouldn't specify examples to avoid inadvertently encouraging them, simply emphasizing a desire to keep the modding scene respectful.
Yoshi-P's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely exposed him to a range of mods, some falling outside the bounds of acceptability. Modding communities like Nexusmods and Steam showcase a wide spectrum, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers (such as the Half-Life costume mod for FFXV). However, the existence of NSFW and other offensive content necessitates this request for responsible modding. While specifics weren't detailed, the "offensive or inappropriate" category clearly encompasses such material (e.g., mods featuring explicit nudity).
Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts improvements like a 240fps frame rate cap and upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request aims to maintain a positive and respectful environment for all players, ensuring the game's PC launch is a success.
