Summary

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail pays homage to the iconic low-poly grapes from Endwalker.
There's a new item called the "Slab of Pink Hexagons" which is a clear nod to one of the game's most viral memes.
It appears as though you have to choose between the slab and another item, and fans are hoping that Square Enix will share the stats on how many players picked what.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker is iconic for a lot of reasons, its rise from the ashes with A Realm Reborn, its decade-long narrative spanning multiple worlds, even it🥀s relentlessly positive communiꦜty, but its legacy will forever be... low-poly grapes.

They were short-lived, as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Squa🅘re Enix almost immediately overhauled t♍hem after the internet at large poked fun at their jagged edges. But 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:they live on,🌠 as Dawntrail pays homage to those old purple berries with its "Slab of Pink Hexagons".

I haven't played the expansion myself—I'm༺ not the biggest Final Fantasy 14 head—📖but going by the comments on the Reddit thread which pointed out this fun little easter egg, it looks like you have to decide between the low-poly grapes and something else during one of the expansion's quests.

Fans say that they hope Square Enix is tracking how many players pick whﷺatꦑ so that they can eventually share the stats with the community.

Final Fantasy 14 Just Got A Huge Graphics Update, But The Grapes Were Left Alone

While Final Fantasy 14's grapes aren't as ♕low-poly as they were at Endwalker's launch, they are ꧟still a flat texture stretched over a low-res 3D shape.

Dawntrail released alongside a huge graphical overhaul which has been a hit with the community, but as notic𒁃ed,♛ the grapes are thankfully untouched. It just wouldn't be the same if they looked good.
