Square Enix embraces the low-poly grapes by giving them away at Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival

Square Enix is leaning all the way into those famous low-poly grapes from Final Fantasy 14, and is handing some out as part of an upcoming event.

If you’re attending the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in Las Vegas later this month, and you love funny knick-knacks, you’ll be thrilled to hear that Square Enix is giving out a goody bag with just that. As shown on the Final Fantasy 14 Twitter account, everyone attending the Fan Festival will receive a very snazzy looking crossbody bag that features the FF14 10th anniversary logo on it, which also comes with a bunch of other gifts. Most notably, though, you’ll also get a squishable set of low-poly grapes from the Endwalker expansion.

Now, those not in the loop might understandably think, “why would I want this?” Well, back when Endwalker launched, the expansion featured some grapes that were a little… four sided. They later got updated to make them a little bit more grape-like in shape, but players were quickly enamoured by the simplicity of them at first. It even looks like Square Enix took those laughing at the grapes to heart in the development of Final Fantasy 16. But it’s a fun little toy for those in the know, and one that I wish I owned despite not having played too much of the game.
