Final Fantasy 14 boss Yoshi-P lambasts invasive mod that exposes player data, promises its deletion and potential ‘legal action’

First reported by Massively OP, Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida has issued a statement on the game’s forums regarding a player-made plugin that can reveal private account details in-game. Yoshida doesn’t name a particular mod in his post, but he is almost assuredly referring to PlayerScope, a plugin that has drawn criticism from the FF14 community for compromising players’ privacy in the exact way Yoshida describes in his post.

“We have confirmed that there exist third-party tools that are being used to check FF14 character information that is not displayed during normal gameplay,” Yoshida wrote. “The tool is being used to display a segment of an FF144 character’s internal account ID, which is then used in an attempt to further correlate information on other characters on the same FF14 service account.”
