FF16 Mods Cautioned: Avoid Offensive Content

Final Fantasy XVI's director, Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), has politely requested fans to avoid creating or installing "offensive or inappropriate" modifications 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, Yoshida-P addressed the upcoming PC release and urged the community to maintain a respectful modding environment. While declining to specify inappropriate content, he clearly stated a desire to prevent the creation and distribution of offensive mods.

He cleverly sidestepped a question about desired "goofy" mods, emphasizing the importance of avoiding anything deemed offensive or inappropriate. His experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely informs this request.

Modding communities, such as Nexusmods and Steam, host a wide range of Final Fantasy modifications, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, NSFW and other potentially offensive content also exists. While Yoshi-P didn't provide specifics, his request clearly aims to prevent such content from impacting the game's PC experience. Examples of such mods might include those offering explicit character model replacements.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts features like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshida-P's request underscores a desire to maintain a positive and respectful player experience alongside these technical improvements.
