Square Enix Pokes Fun at Itself by Giving Away Infamous Low-Poly Grapes from Final Fantasy 14
Square Enix has officially joined Final Fantasy 14’s infamous low-poly grape joke, with the publisher planning to distribute a physical version of it at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival.
Square Enix has announced a goods bag for attendees of the fan event to be held in Las Vegas on July 28-29. Among the random goodies in that bag is a physical version of Grapes that quickly became a meme upon the release of the Endwalker expansion.
The chunky portion of the DLC was generally loved by fans, but one piece of that environment featuring cubic vines caused the internet to explode in cumulative laughter.
Fan Festival 2023 in Las Vegas is just around the corner.
We’re excited to showcase the IRL loot that attendees will receive as part of their ticket to the event! https://t.co/63PGa95UMu pic.twitter.com/yX9XDsjHaW
