Final Fantasy 16 Mods Requested to Avoid Being \"Offensive or Inappropriate\" By Director Yoshi-P

Final Fantasy XVI director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested fans to avoid creating or using "offensive or inappropriate" mods for the PC release.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC Launch: September 17th

Yoshi-P's Plea for Respectful Modding

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshi-P addressed the modding community, urging them to refrain from developing or installing mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." While PC Gamer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshi-P prioritized the avoidance of harmful content. He declined to specify examples, stating that highlighting any particular type of mod might be misconstrued as encouragement. His primary concern is maintaining a respectful environment for all players.

Given his experience with previous Final Fantasy titles, Yoshi-P is likely familiar with the spectrum of mods available, including those that cross the line into inappropriate or offensive territory. Online modding communities like Nexusmods and Steam host a wide array of mods, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, NSFW content and other objectionable material unfortunately exists, falling under the umbrella of what Yoshi-P aims to prevent. Examples include mods that replace character models with explicit content.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts features like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request reflects a desire to maintain a positive and respectful community around these significant improvements.
