Final Fantasy XVI PC Launch: September 17th

Yoshi-P's Plea for Respectful Mods

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Yoshi-P addressed the modding community, emphasizing a desire for respectful modifications. While acknowledging the creativity of modders, he specifically requested that players refrain from creating or using content deemed "offensive or inappropriate." He cleverly sidestepped suggesting specific desirable mods, focusing instead on maintaining a positive and respectful gaming environment.

"We definitely don't want to see anything offensive or inappropriate, so please don't make or install anything like that," Yoshida stated.

Yoshi-P's experience with previous Final Fantasy titles likely exposed him to a range of mods, some falling into the "inappropriate" or "offensive" categories. Online modding communities, such as Nexusmods and Steam, showcase a diverse selection of mods, from graphical enhancements to cosmetic crossovers. However, the existence of NSFW and other potentially harmful content necessitates this request for responsible modding.

Final Fantasy XVI's PC release boasts improved performance, including a frame rate cap of up to 240fps and various upscaling technologies. Yoshi-P's appeal aims to ensure this milestone release maintains a respectful and enjoyable experience for all players.
