Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested fans to avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" modifications 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, Yoshi-P addressed the upcoming PC release, emphasizing a desire to maintain a respectful community. While acknowledging the creativity of the modding community, he specifically cautioned against the creation and use of mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." He declined to provide specific examples, stating that highlighting certain types of mods might inadvertently encourage their creation.
Given Yoshi-P's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles, his concern likely stems from encountering problematic mods in the past. While many mods enhance the game experience, ranging from graphical improvements to cosmetic changes, some fall into the category of NSFW or otherwise objectionable content. While not explicitly stated, mods featuring explicit content or potentially harmful alterations are clearly the target of this request. Examples might include unauthorized nude mods or those that significantly alter character appearances in a disrespectful manner.
With the PC version boasting features like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies, Yoshi-P's appeal underscores a commitment to a positive and respectful gaming environment.
