Final Fantasy XIV players have not had an easy time the past few weeks. The sheer success of the Endwalker expansion has resulted in long login queues and server errors. It became so popular that Square Enix has Temporarily stop selling games, are offering discounts on Starter and Complete Editions. Meanwhile, some low-poly grapes remain still in the wind. Saw-toothed, delectable, interested in their own business. Until their blockage is slice and caught the eye of the public. Celebrations ensued and the grapes became the talk of the town, so much so that they were cleaned up in the latest patch, much to everyone’s disappointment.
It must not end like this. The grapes are blocky, yes, but they have a certain charm. Just look at Food video game little Poly The account highlights the handling of such cubes.
