Final Fantasy XVI will be released today for PC, about fifteen months later its debut on PlayStation 5. With every successful PC release, there’s a solid chance that users will create all sorts of mods, which is usually a great thing. However, a small portion of these mods can be unpleasant, especially for the game’s creators.

Talking to PC GamerFinal Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida has asked users to refrain from creating or installing offensive or inappropriate mods.

If we said “It would be great if someone did xyz”, it might sound like a request, so I’ll avoid mentioning specifics here! 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.

Yoshida-san’s request is unlikely to be entirely welcomed by the entire userbase, but it may help minimize the spread of any offensive mods.

Looking at the most recent Final Fantasy games released on PC, Final Fantasy VII Remake has fostered a large modding community with 1,416 mods listed on Nexus which have been downloaded 7.6 million times. In comparison, Final Fantasy XV has ‘only’ 237 mods downloaded less than 500 thousand times. Final Fantasy XVI has sold even less than XV so far, so we’re betting the modding scene will be less than explosive.

The game has a PC demo which gives you a taste of the game and, more importantly, lets you see how it would run on your rig. If your PC isn’t powerful enough to get a smooth Final Fantasy XVI experience, NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW platform let you play via the cloud, as long as you have a decent internet connection.

NVIDIA users (including GFN subscribers) will be able to enjoy technologies such as DLSS 3, DLAA and Reflex.
