Square Enix have launched the promised official mod instruments for Final Fantasy X, letting one and all tinker with these good boys. Right now, the instruments can exchange fashions, add new weapons, and add new costumes, however Squeenix have stated earlier than that they plan to maintain increasing their scope to make extra varieties of mod potential. The FFXV Steam Workshop, which beforehand solely hosted mods Squeenix themselves made, is slowly filling up with nicely, a number of Keyblades to date and one cursed Thomas the Tank Engine. But I’m certain nice issues are to come back.
The preliminary mod instruments let gamers exchange the fashions and/or textures of characters, give characters new outfits, and alter weapons or create new weapons with new fashions and attributes.
Curiously, Squeenix have determined to cap customized weapons at 100 factors throughout all attributes, which they are saying “ensures that they are balanced against other weapons.” I imply, yeah, but when somebody can already changing each greatest boy with vaping moogles in lingerie, what’s the hurt of overpowered weapons?
The instruments, confusingly named the Mod Organizer, launched alongside patch 1.24 final evening. If you might have FFXV on Steam, it’s best to now see the instruments within the Tools part of your Steam Library. If you might have it on Origin or the Windows Store (anybody?), nab ’em here.
To assist would-be modders get began, Squeenix have additionally written an FFXV modding guide to introduce the instruments and stroll us by means of the fundamentals. Like: changing Noctis with a monolith.
Players have been modding FFXV for some time, hacking round in its guts, however the official instruments ought to be extra welcoming. And extra helpful, if Squeenix do hold including to them.
“Mod support has always been an important aspect of FFXV Windows Edition and we want to give you the freedom to do a whole bunch of cool things with mods so we will be adding more mod tools and functionality in the future,” they say. “However, it’s going to take a bit more time to create and add all of the tools.”
I’m fairly curious to see what modders may do with this anime boy band highway journey.
