[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63991, member: 1"] Final Fantasy 14's infamous low poly grapes remained untarnished despite the rest of the game receiving a big graphical upgrade upon the release of expansion Dawntrail. As reported by [URL='https://www.gamespark.jp/article/2024/07/01/142849.html']Game Spark[/URL] and translated by [URL='https://automaton-media.com/en/news/final-fantasy-14s-low-poly-grapes-still-have-a-low-polygon-count-following-dawntrail-update/']Automaton[/URL], developer Square Enix is keeping up the running joke which began in 2022 when it released the Endwalker expansion.

Two years after their appearance and Square Enix released a major graphical overhaul of the massively multiplayer online game alongside its latest Dawntrail expansion. This left some fans a touch worried that the terrible yet beloved grapes would be consumed by high resolution graphics, but that's thankfully not the case. While everything else including the leaves around the grapes has been updated to pretty new graphics, fans will be relieved to hear the grapes remained practically untouched. Their color is a touch brighter but they still, for better or worse, stand out like a sore thumb.
