Final Fantasy 16's Director Calls for Respectful Mods

Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested that fans 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 addressed the modding community, emphasizing a desire to prevent the creation and distribution of harmful or inappropriate content. While open to creative modifications, he stressed the importance of maintaining respectful boundaries. He specifically avoided suggesting any particular mod ideas to prevent misinterpretations. His only request was to keep mods free of offensive or inappropriate material.

Yoshida's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely exposed him to a range of mods, some falling into the "inappropriate" or "offensive" categories. The modding communities for games often feature a diverse array of content, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic changes. However, NSFW and other potentially harmful mods also exist. While Yoshida didn't explicitly detail the types of mods he's concerned about, the request clearly aims to prevent the spread of such content.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts improvements like a 240fps frame rate cap and various upscaling technologies. Yoshida's request for respectful modding aims to maintain a positive and inclusive environment for all players.
