Final Fantasy XVI Director Yoshi-P Requests Respectful Modding on PC Launch
Final Fantasy XVI arrives on PC September 17th, and director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has a polite request for the modding community: keep it clean. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshi-P asked fans to avoid creating or installing mods deemed "offensive or inappropriate."
While PC Gamer inquired about potentially humorous mods, Yoshi-P steered the conversation towards responsible modding practices. He emphasized a desire to maintain a respectful environment, stating, "We definitely don't want to see anything offensive or inappropriate, so please don't make or install anything like that." He cleverly avoided specifying examples to prevent inadvertently encouraging certain types of modifications.
The modding community's history with Final Fantasy titles includes a wide range of creations, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, as Yoshi-P likely has experience with less appropriate mods from previous games, his request is aimed at preventing the spread of NSFW or otherwise harmful content.
With the PC release boasting features like a 240fps frame rate cap and advanced upscaling technologies, Yoshi-P's call for respectful modding aims to maintain a positive player experience for everyone. The message is clear: creativity is welcome, but let's keep it appropriate.
