<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy 16<\/a> producer Naoki Yoshida has asked fans to not create any “offensive or inappropriate” mods for the game prior to its PC release later today. That means you, yes you reading this right now, have been asked not to create anything vulgar or naughty. It doesn’t matter how handsome Clive is!\n<\/p>\n

This plea stems from a PC Gamer interview<\/a>, in which Yoshida refused to name any specifics as to avoid goading cheeky modders into creating exactly what he and Square Enix wouldn’t want to see. However, it doesn’t take a mind reader to know the kind of stuff he’s talking about. No cocks, fellas. It’ll probably make Yoshida very sad to see a naked Clive pop up on his Twitter feed.\n<\/p>\n

This may seem like an odd thing to specifically ask for, but the Final Fantasy PC community has a rich and storied history of taking their creative skills and horniness to the lab to conduct various sexy experiments. Like all games, these are typically among the more popular mods, however it’s also worth noting that more composed creators have a history of making some pretty nice stuff. Just look at Nexusmods<\/a> for a variety of cosmetic changes and so on. <\/p>\n
