Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested fans to avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" mods for the PC release.
Final Fantasy XVI PC Launch: September 17th
Yoshi-P's Plea for Responsible Modding
In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshida-P addressed the upcoming PC release and urged the community to maintain respectful modding practices. While the interviewer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshida-P clarified the team's preference to avoid any content deemed offensive or inappropriate. He specifically stated a desire to avoid mentioning examples to prevent misinterpretation as requests.
Yoshida-P's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely exposes him to a wide range of mods, including those that cross the line into inappropriate or offensive territory. While many mods enhance the game through graphical improvements or cosmetic additions (like the Half-Life costume mod for FFXV), the existence of NSFW mods is undeniable. Although Yoshida-P didn't provide specifics, this type of content clearly falls under the umbrella of what he wishes to avoid. Examples include mods that replace character models with explicit content.
Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts features like a 240fps frame rate cap and various upscaling technologies. Yoshida-P's request for respectful modding aims to maintain a positive and inclusive environment for all players.
