Final Fantasy XVI director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) politely requests fans refrain from creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" mods for the PC release. In a recent PC Gamer interview, while initially dodging a question about desired "goofy" mods, Yoshi-P clarified the team's stance. He emphasized a preference against anything deemed offensive or inappropriate, without specifying examples. This request likely stems from experience with past inappropriate mods in other Final Fantasy titles.
The modding community offers a wide range of content, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, some content, including NSFW mods, falls into the "offensive or inappropriate" category. Yoshi-P's appeal aims to maintain a respectful environment for all players as the PC version launches with features like a 240fps frame rate cap and upscaling technologies. The plea for responsible modding underscores the team's commitment to a positive player experience.
