Final Fantasy XVI director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) politely requests fans avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" mods for the PC release. In a recent PC Gamer interview, while dodging a question about desired "goofy" mods, Yoshi-P emphasized the importance of maintaining respectful content. He stated a preference to avoid specifics, but firmly discouraged the creation or use of any mods deemed offensive or inappropriate.
The request likely stems from past experiences with potentially problematic mods in other Final Fantasy titles. While the modding community offers a wide range of content, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers, some creations fall into NSFW or otherwise objectionable categories. Although Yoshi-P didn't detail specific examples, the implication is clear: the team prioritizes a respectful gaming environment.
Final Fantasy XVI's PC launch features improvements such as a 240fps frame rate cap and various upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request underscores a desire to maintain this positive momentum and ensure a welcoming experience for all players. The plea for responsible modding reflects a commitment to fostering a healthy and inclusive community around the game.
