Yoshi-P Pleads for Modder Restraint Ahead of Final Fantasy 16 PC Launch | Push Square
With its lengthy period of PS5 exclusivity now at a close, Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki «Yoshi-P» Yoshida is concerned about the inevitable debauchery that will follow once the PC modding community gets its grasping paws on the game (available today, 17th September). Yoshida doesn't want to see your «offensive or inappropriate» smut, basically anything that could currently be found under the «most popular» tab of Final Fantasy VII Remake's Nexus Mods page.
Of course, PC Gamer was all over this one, asking director Hiroshi Takai if there were any ridiculous inclusions he'd like to see come to the game. At this point, Yoshida stepped in («all dad-style», according to the outlet) and shut down the fun, declaring: «If we said, 'It'd be great if someone made XYZ,' it might come across as a request, so I'll avoid mentioning any specifics here! The only thing I will say is that we definitely don't want to say anything offensive or inappropriate, so please don't make or install anything like that.»

«Please don't have fun with our game...That you paid for and own...»
Old P yells at cloud.
