If there’s one factor Closing Fantasy 14: Endwalker will likely be remembered for, it will not be its wonderful conclusion to a decade-long story. Nor recognition so immense that Sq. Enix pulled the sport from sale for six whole weeks to avoid wasting the already-buckling servers from folding fully. No, it will likely be remembered for its stunning low-poly grapes that had been so rudely “fastened” after they took Eorzea by storm.
Memes across the grapes have continued 18 months after the enlargement’s launch, and it even brought on director/producer Naoki Yoshida to go and high quality test the grapes in Closing Fantasy 16 to ensure they had been as much as snuff. Lengthy might the low-poly grapes reside on, particularly now Sq. Enix is immortalising them as a bodily goodie for the upcoming Closing Fantasy 14 Fan Competition in Las Vegas.

Those that are attending the competition will likely be aware of some beautiful Closing Fantasy 14-themed presents. There is a Tenth-anniversary crossbody bag, an cute carrot-shaped pen topped with a loporrit, an Azem crystal keychain and a grebuloff magnet. Then, to prime all of it off, a “squishable Endwalker grapes” stress… prism of some sort. “Relieve any lingering stress after hours of ‘farm events’ with these really exceptional squishable Endwalker grapes,” the merchandise’s description reads. “If you happen to’re ever feeling slightly low decision, merely seize your squishable grapes and keep in mind what as soon as was.”
I am actually feeling grape envy, and the entire plethora of loot is a beautiful bundle for the dwellers of Eorzea. It is a neat approach to lean into one of many extra mainstream memes to have expanded past Closing Fantasy 14’s participant base, and will definitely turn out to be useful when yet one more Sage who retains forgetting to use shields joins the savage raid social gathering. Undoubtedly not talking from expertise or something.
The Las Vegas Fan Competition kicks off subsequent month, and we’re certain to be in for a few large bulletins whereas it is happening. If earlier expansions are something to go by then Endwalker is over midway via its life cycle now, and I can really feel in my bones {that a} new enlargement announcement is across the nook. Even outdoors of latest expansions, the sport is celebrating its Tenth anniversary of the A Realm Reborn relaunch on the finish of August.
