Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker’s Square Grapes Meme
That said, not all food fromFinal Fantasy 14: Dawntrailseems to suffer from this low-poly curse. CrystAAHHL, another fan who attended the Media Tour, shared pictures of some of the other delicacies they found in Tural, including a fruit stall and the in-game counterpart to the delicious taco first seen in theofficial trailer forFinal Fantasy 14: Dawntrail. This food all looks amazing, suggesting the square tomato may not be a fully-finished set piece quite yet.
Either way,Dawntrailis nearly out, bringing with it thefirst graphics overhaul ofFinal Fantasy 14. This massive improvement to graphical fidelity affects all aspects of the game, from character models and environments to lighting and textures. While this means charmingly low-poly objects like the square grapes will likely be fewer and further between from now on, fans were delighted to see the Endwalker meme live on in the Media Tour, even if the square tomato doesn’t make it to launch.
