Final Fantasy 16 Launches on PC September 17So Yoshi-P Requests That Mods Be Not “Offensive or Improper”

Final Fantasy 16 Mods Requested to Avoid Being

Speaking in a recently published interview with PC Gamer, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) made one plea to the Final Fantasy player base. And that's to not "create or install" otherwise “offensive or improper” mods as Final Fantasy 16 launches on the PC tomorrow.

Interestingly, it was director Hiroshi Takai whom PC Gamer queried about whether he'd like to see any "particularly silly" mods crafted by the Final Fantasy modding community, but Yoshi-P intervened and specified precisely which kinds of mods they hope won't materialize in the game.

"If we said 'It'd be great if someone made xyz,' it might seem like a request, so I'll refrain from mentioning any specifics here!" Yoshida declared in the interview. "The only thing I will say is that we certainly don't want to see anything offensive or improper, so please don't create or install anything like that."

As the director of other Final Fantasy titles, it's highly probable that Yoshi-P has encountered certain modifications that might be considered "improper," if not "objectionable." Across various online modding communities, such as Nexusmods and Steam, one can readily find numerous Final Fantasy modifications—ranging from those altering game visuals to those adding crossover cosmetic items, like the Half-Life Costume mod for FF15.

However, not all content is suitable for the wider player base—yes, NSFW mods exist within the modding community. While Yoshi-P didn't specify the types of modifications he's referencing, such mods certainly fall under the "objectionable or improper" category. One example involves altering characters with "high-quality nude body mesh replacements" using "4K textures."

Final Fantasy 16 on PC features an increased frame rate limit of up to 240fps, alongside various upscaling technologies—a significant achievement for the team—releasing for PC users tomorrow, and Yoshi-P simply wishes to maintain a respectful environment.
