Final Fantasy 16 Mods: Director Requests Avoidance of "Inappropriate" Content

Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested fans to avoid creating or installing "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, Yoshi-P addressed the upcoming PC launch, emphasizing a desire for the modding community to maintain respectful boundaries. While open to creative modifications, he explicitly discouraged the creation or use of mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." He chose to avoid specifying examples to prevent inadvertently encouraging them.

Yoshi-P'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 community, across platforms like Nexusmods and Steam, showcases a diverse range of content, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, the existence of NSFW and other potentially harmful mods necessitates this request for responsible modding. While he didn't detail specific examples, the implication is clear regarding the types of modifications he wishes to avoid. One example might include mods that replace character models with explicit content.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts improvements like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request simply aims to ensure a respectful and positive experience for all players.
