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

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

Final Fantasy XVI PC Launch: September 17th

Yoshi-P's Plea: Keep Mods Respectful

In a recent PC Gamer interview, Yoshi-P addressed the modding community, urging them to refrain from developing or using mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate." While PC Gamer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshi-P prioritized setting clear boundaries regarding acceptable content. He stated a desire to avoid ambiguity, choosing not to specify examples, but emphasizing a commitment to maintaining respectful gameplay.

Yoshi-P's experience with past Final Fantasy modding communities likely informs this request. Online platforms like Nexusmods and Steam showcase a wide range of mods—from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers—but also include content considered NSFW or otherwise objectionable. While he didn't detail specific examples, the request clearly targets mods falling under the "offensive or inappropriate" umbrella, such as those featuring explicit content or unauthorized alterations of character models.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts significant improvements, including a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's request aims to ensure the positive reception of these advancements isn't overshadowed by inappropriate user-generated content.
