Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker's grapes went viral among the community as developer Square Enix left some low poly textures in for launch, creating one of the game's most famous memes in recent years. But now it's been immortalised by Dice Monster who has brought them to life as earrings.
As you can probably guess, Dice Monster specialises in making custom dice, but yesterday, it showed off a whole new creation - Final Fantasy grapes. You can probably roll them, but they won't work so well as dice. Rather, Dice Monster is looking at branching out, making them into earrings for its store.
"If you made these earrings, I would pay an unfortunate amount of money for them," maddoe commented. "I probably will be," Dice Monster replied. Until then, you can browse its store to see all kinds of custom dice from ocean gems to celestial sunset sets. It even has an upcoming arcade carpet themed set.
The low poly Endwalker grapes were unfortunately patched out fairly quickly after launch, making all the grapes in Labryinthos look a little higher resolution. But in the time it took to get patched, they became a staple meme in the community with many jokingly mourning their loss. Even the official Final Fantasy 14 account tweeted out, "We will miss you, grapes - you were truly remarkable."
If you miss the grapes, keep an eye on Dice Monsters' Twitter. They might start selling these earrings soon so that you can show off your love for all things purple and low poly. Good luck explaining them at family gatherings, mind.
In other Final Fantasy news, Square Enix is cracking down on HUD mods as game director Naoki Yoshida promises to improve the UI. It stressed that third-party addons are prohibited as per Final Fantasy 14's terms of service, something that Square Enix is enforcing more and more, so if you want to make your game a little less cluttered, you might get in trouble for it.
