Final Fantasy 14 Keeps Iconic Low-Poly Grapes Despite Upgrade

Final Fantasy 14's latest expansion, Dawntrail, brought a significant graphical upgrade to this popular MMORPG. While many elements received a visual refresh, the game's infamous low-poly grapes, introduced in the Endwalker expansion, remained virtually unchanged, maintaining their cuboid, meme-worthy appearance. This deliberate choice by developer Square Enix continues a beloved joke within the community. Dawntrail, released on July 2, 2024, also introduced new areas, quests, quality-of-life improvements, and new jobs like the Viper and Pictomancer. Despite some bugs, including a significant Xbox issue, the expansion continues to enhance the game.

The Dawntrail expansion adds new areas, quests, quality-of-life improvements, a major graphical update, and two new jobs: Viper and Pictomancer.
