> Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has [1]asked fans to please not make "offensive or inappropriate" mods upon the game's PC release tomorrow, September 17. Yoshida wouldn't comment on any specific mods he wants to see in Final Fantasy 16 in an interview with [2]PC Gamer , though made clear what he doesn't want to see. "If we said, 'it'd be great if someone made X, Y, Z,' it might come across as a request, so I'll avoid mentioning any specifics here," Yoshida said. "The only thing I will say is that we definitely don't want to see anything offensive or inappropriate, so please don't make or install anything like that."

> Mods allow players to create custom content for games, often resulting in incredibly useful gameplay changes such as the ability to play Elden Ring with friends seamlessly, or major additions such as an entire new expansion for Fallout 4 or the ability to play as custom characters in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Due to the nature of the internet, however, many mods are also, as Yoshida put it, "offensive or inappropriate." While cheating is one thing, fellow publisher Capcom expressed concern in November 2023 that "there are a number of mods that are offensive to public order and morals" which cause damage to the property itself.

So *only* create offensive and inappropriate mods? (Score:2)
This seems like the best way to ensure that every mod on day one is offensive and inappropriate — mods that give you a button to open your cloak and flash your opponents, weapons that look like giant phalluses, flying billboards that look like the 'f' word, and so on.

Some people exist for the sole purpose of degrading other people's lives. It's all they are, because they have nothing else to offer.
Hey, there are thousands of invented by women (Score:2)
There is a group of women verbal and cultural entrepreneurs in inventing new things to be offended by, with the ultimate goal of making anything they want, shifting sands as offensive.
So a FF NPC that says 'Hello . Welcome to the town.' would be considered as too forward for certain players and oppressive.

Also opens the doors to developers to lock down parts of the game that they don't want modders to F-UP and make offensive to others. Just sayin'
Crappy DRM (Score:2)
Unfortunately the game comes with Denuvo anti-tamper. I don't buy games that use my resources to treat me like a criminal.
There are so many other games that don't. I play those instead.
Think of DRM as a bonus game :P (Score:1)

Same here. Denuvo is something crappy developers put in.
Where's the fun in that ??? (Score:2)
Really, isn't that what mods are for ?

Indeed. Mods are for fixing game defects and bring in the sexiness the developers did not dare to put in.

and my disappointment with the single mionded focus on hot chicks.
Re: (Score:3)
... Of the first 40 mods on last updated on Nexus, all of 4 are female specific, and one of those is specific to scarves and masks. This is contrasted with 9 for Skyrim, 9 for Fallout 4, and 4 for Baldur's Gate 3.

Increase the TTP (Score:2)
This might increase the TTP (Time To Penis) from one minute to two!
Re: (Score:2)
I don't know about that... Some might take it as a challenge, thus lowering the TTP.
Is there a law against it? (Score:2)

What has internet done here? Nothing to do with the issue. Due to the nature of people, that would be more precise.

How exactly this causes damage to the game, I assume that's the property he means?
Reputational damage (Score:1)
> How exactly this causes damage to the game
Things like this can cause reputational damage to the game/brand/franchise, i.e. the "intellectual property."
