The Call for Clean Creativity
As the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth prepares to make its grand entrance to PC this January, the popular game director Naoki Hamaguchi has a message for the modding community: keep it classy. In an interview with Epic Games, Hamaguchi urged creators to avoid crafting anything that may be deemed offensive or inappropriate. After all, there’s a fine line between artistic expression and crossing the boundaries of decency, right?
The Modding Community Responds
And how has the Final Fantasy 7 modding community responded to this request? Well, let’s just say they’ve nodded in agreement while stifling a chuckle. There’s an undeniable charm in the rebellious nature of modders, and while they respect Hamaguchi’s wish for a cleaner modding landscape, you can bet that the allure of ‘nude mods’ will always loom large. After all, where’s the fun in playing by the rules?
The Future of Final Fantasy Mods
Despite Square Enix’s lack of official support for mods at this time, Hamaguchi has indicated a willingness to let modding flourish. He recognizes the ingenuity that comes from the modding community, stating, “We respect the creativity of the modding community and welcome their creations.” Yet, there’s that polite request for moderation lurking at the end of his statement. It seems modders might have their work cut out for them as they tread the delicate path between their creative instincts and the director’s ‘no-naughty’ policy. Will they rise to the challenge? Stay tuned.
