Final Fantasy 14’s famed low-poly grapes have mercifully been preserved in the wake of the MMO’s huge graphics overhaul.

When Final Fantasy 14’s patch 7.0 launched last week, introducing Dawntrail into early access, it also completely overhauled the MMO’s graphics for PC and current-gen console players. Textures, items, and character models received significant improvements, bringing a new sense of life toSquare Enix’s smash-hit MMO even after more than a decade.

Be warned that if you’re playingFinal Fantasy 14 Dawntrailright now after launch,a side quest can spoil major moments from the new expansion’s storyline. Hold off on playing ‘Once a Riddler, Now a Ruler’ until you’ve completed the Main Scenario Quest ‘Dawn of a New Tomorrow’ if you want to be safe.

Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail gets Stormblood comparisons after a “mixed” start on Steam, as players hope the MMO’s new post-launch content can also bring it home.
