Square Enix producer Naoki Yoshida doesn't want to see any naughty FF16 mods on PC
, after PCG’s Mollie Taylor asked director Hiroshi Takai if he was keen on seeing any specific mods players might make. It was a seemingly innocuous question, but Yoshida stepped in and steered the conversation away from it."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!" Yoshida said.
Yoshida has gone on record before to say that he’s “disappointed” with FFXIV mods in general, not just the vast range of very definitely inappropriate mods people come up with for their Eorzean adventures. It sounds like he’s only against whatever dirty little ideas people might have in their heads for FF16, though, since he didn’t discourage modding in general.
An anti-mod stance, or one that’s cautious of mods, isn’t something unique to Square Enix, though. Capcom said in 2023 that they technically– even if it’s just giving Leon or Claire a new, non-spicy outfit in Resident Evil 2 remake – since modding involves tampering with game files. Capcom's stance is that it could, in theory, involve extra work for the developers if mods introduced malicious code, though that seems like a player-side issue and not one for the devs to handle.
