Final Fantasy XVI Director Yoshi-P politely requests players avoid creating or using offensive or inappropriate mods for the PC release.
Final Fantasy XVI PC Launch: September 17th
Yoshi-P's Plea for Respectful Modding
In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) urged fans to refrain from creating or installing mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." While PC Gamer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshi-P clarified the team's preference for respectful content. He stated a desire to avoid any specific requests that might be misinterpreted, emphasizing their strong stance against offensive or inappropriate modifications.
Yoshi-P's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely exposes him to the spectrum of modding, including NSFW and otherwise objectionable content. While the modding community offers a wide range of creations, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers (like the Half-Life costume mod for FFXV), some fall outside acceptable boundaries. The producer didn't specify problematic mod types, but clearly aims to maintain a respectful environment.
The PC release boasts enhanced features like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request underscores a desire to maintain a positive player experience, unmarred by controversial modifications.
