"We really want to keep it as free and open as possible to people, so rather than just telling people what we're going to give them, we want to make an environment where people can be as free as possible to make their own mods. So we felt it was pretty much essential to give these people the mod support and the kind of freedom they wanted to see in that. "When we were looking at making the Windows Edition of the game, and what PC gamers want, we really did see that there's a large portion of the PC gaming community who really enjoy using mods and the freedom that they bring to gameplay. "We're going to move on and we've got other plans to maybe have different kinds of characters to be moogles, chocobos… We're all working on all that.
"I mean, to begin with, we're starting out with a very simple thing, just replacing the skins for the cactuars, but we're looking to slowly expand out the scope of what we're doing with mods and really introduce new things," said Shida. "Are there moogles in there?" Tabata asked Mr Shida. It would be better if there were some moogles as well, though." "What do you think of Final Fantasy XV looking like that?" To which I replied, "I think it looks good! It's interesting. After catching a glimpse of the cactuar mod reveal video playing on a TV behind us, he said: In fact, it was Mr Tabata himself who asked the first question. Fancy the idea of turning everyone in party town Lestallum into adorable cactuars? Then you're in luck.Ĭactuar skins are all well and good, of course, but what else does the team have in store for budding modders? To find out, I sat down with director Hajime Tabata, technical director and lead programmer Takeshi Aramaki and game design and development manager Kenichi Shida and quizzed them (and their translator) about exactly that. Indeed, it was only over the weekend that we got our first glimpse of what a potential Final Fantasy XV mod might look like. At the time, though, the developers kept schtum about exactly what that might entail. Last August, Square Enix finally confirmed that the upcoming PC version of royal roadtrip Final Fantasy XV would indeed come with full mod support when it launches on March 6.
