While Patch 6.01 of Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker brought new content like raids or bugfixes it also put an end to a legacy. In fact the low resolution grape that was visible in Labyrinthos and that many players mocked on social medias were replaced by actual grape.
The Low polygon grape were used to limit the charge of some textures on the servers while the game was very populated. With Patch 6.01 however, the team decided that it was no longer necessary to keep them and changed them.
This change, featured in the patchnote, really affected the comunity that started to create many, many memes to pay respect to the lost grapes. Here are some of the best creations we've seen online.
FFXIV Grapes Memes
Let's start strong with the well-known Alex Moukala that made a little something for Grapes-chan.
And some others.. really creative ways of showing support.
The story of the grapes go even farther than that as it seems the new one look better than the one actually visible in older zones of the game.
With so many tweets and posts about this change I really couldn't resist making a little article to show some of my favorites, hope some made you smile a little!
