Final Fantasy XVI director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has politely requested fans to avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" modifications for the PC release of the game, launching September 17th. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, while initially prompted about humorous mod possibilities, Yoshi-P emphasized a preference for respectful content. He explicitly stated a desire to prevent the creation and use of any mods deemed offensive or inappropriate, declining to specify examples to avoid inadvertently encouraging them.
This request likely stems from Yoshi-P's experience with modding communities for previous Final Fantasy titles, where a range of modifications exist, from graphical enhancements to crossover cosmetic options. However, the existence of NSFW and potentially offensive content within these communities is well-known. While Yoshi-P refrained from detailing specific examples, the implication is clear: he aims to maintain a respectful environment for all players.
The PC release of Final Fantasy XVI boasts features like a 240fps frame rate cap and various upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request underscores a desire to ensure this milestone release remains a positive experience for everyone, emphasizing community responsibility and respectful content creation.
