Weeks after the emergence of a new mod for Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV) that enables stalking behavior alarmed large portions of the MMO's community, developer Square Enix has finally responded to the matter officially.
The company's statement comes from a post by FFXIV director Naoki Yoshida (known colloquially by the nickname "Yoshi-P") on the game's official forums. In it, he confirms that Square Enix is aware of the mod's existence and is "discussing" either requesting a takedown or "pursuing legal action," while also reassuring players that the plugin can't be used to obtain personal information and reaffirming the studio's "firm stance" against the usage of third-party tools.
