Ahead of the release of Final Fantasy 16 on PC last week, producer Naoki Yoshida asked fans to not mod "anything offensive or inappropriate" into the game . So far, modders have been pretty well-behaved, but Clive voice actor Ben Starr has of course made it into the game. I was expecting his face to be put on Clive's model (there's still time for that), but instead it's his glowing face from The Game Awards that's been added to Clive's cape.
Yes, thanks to DadaDA on NexusMods , Clive can rock some meme-worthy threads on his Eikonic quest. Other mods have a more direct impact on gameplay. Modder Dehnonator has created a cheat table mod that unlocks the higher difficulty Final Fantasy Mode from the start - as well as the Arcade mode's Ultimaniac difficulty.
Essentially, that means players can have a higher difficulty level but with base game stats for a particularly challenging playthrough. That appears to be what X user Limitless is running, but without using potions too. I figured I'd just mod in all of my abilities I had from PS5 and go crazy.
From the handful of mods that have already released this past week, this already feels like the definitive way to experience FFXVI. This hard mode run with no potions is going to get insane, especially..
