I need to dump off this fantasia and I don't know what to do with it. I might contact support chat later and see if I can transfer it to my alt, but I don't think they do that either, so probably just stuck with this. This isn't going to work for me.. I need to either use it or dump it..

Having it just sit in my inventory or mail won't work either. It's gotta go.

don’t dump it! save it for a rainy day! (or even better, join us in lala-land ;) )

seriously though, dont dump it. I’m pretty sure eventually you’re gonna REALLY want a change again (especially if viera don’t get an overhaul come 6.9) and this way you wont have wasted a fantasia and wont have to buy a new one due to tossing this one out. let it sit for a lil bit, but not like an indefinite thing y’know?

OMG i meant 6.0!

Thank you guys for being wholesome and not garbage.


That is all, lol.
Everytime some drama happens on Reddit or social media I am reminded of how I can actually read this forum without getting a headache.
And that is basically always.

Edit: Since I recently found out that this bakery is apparently unknown to most I feel like it is my duty to inform you all of Semlor.

I never realized it was more of a Scandinavian thing, we even have a day for them in Sweden where we eat them lol ( I remember it from school too, even there ).

Found out from this video from Tasting History, I really like his channel since I like both history and food: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ljm5i5N6WQ
The original is totally different which I had no clue about either, but I want to try it.

Do you guys have any dishes or bakery you found out was more of a native thing to where you live?
I've been finding out about a lot of these things from Sweden that I just kinda took for granted.

Kalops is one of my favorite dishes and I had no clue it was a Swedish and Finish dish either.

Uhh, as far as I know, the US's cuisine is all just bastardizations/reimaginings of other place's cuisines, usually with better ingredients but less authenticity or disputed origins with European countries.

Love me a good hamburger though. Even better if it's a bison burger!

Got the Skallic and Lost Allagan sets, got all three cards (yes, yes, I know, no Im a loooong way from that card mount lol ) got the doggo and the disembodied head, all the earrings.

I used to think that a moogle was a flying dumpling..now? Nah, theyre okay. :D:D:D

In fairness the US is a pretty young country, and that's also how food generally works.
A while back ago for example some people tried to claim that Swedish meatballs are actually Turkish, but they mistook their history for Kåldolmar ( cabbage rolls ) which are a reinterpretation of Turkish Dolma.
But Kåldolmar are still different from Dolma and we consider it our own.

But even with meatballs pretty much all countries have/ had their own version of it, I mean good luck hunting down the original meatball xD.
So I don't really think that US cuisine is less valid because how it has developed is the same as it has around the world really.
