Square Enix Asks for Polite Mods in Final Fantasy XVI

Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested that fans refrain from creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" modifications for the PC version of the game, launching September 17th.

Yoshi-P's Plea for Respectful Modding

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshida clarified the team's stance on modding. While acknowledging the creativity of the modding community, he emphasized a desire to avoid mods that could be considered offensive or inappropriate. He carefully avoided specifying examples to prevent inadvertently encouraging certain types of modifications. His statement simply reiterated the team's preference for respectful content.

The modding community for Final Fantasy games is vast and varied, encompassing everything from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, NSFW and other potentially offensive content also exists. While Yoshida didn't detail specific concerns, his request clearly aims to prevent the proliferation of such material within the Final Fantasy XVI modding scene.

The PC release of Final Fantasy XVI boasts significant improvements, including a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshida's request for respectful modding simply seeks to maintain a positive and inclusive environment for all players.
