Probably about when they had functional magic, giant robots, and airships.

I mean I was joking but I feel like it should be pointed out the real world had boats, cars and even (arguably) airplanes before hamburgers.

Actually the first burger was made in the 1880s.

It's a heated debate in both the historical community and the culinary community since you've got to pinpoint exactly what can be constituted as a hamburger, so theoretically it can be anywhere from 1880 to 1905.
If it turns out to have been 1905 then there would have been airplanes in the world before hamburgers.

True. Though you can also argue on where you want to draw the line at when modern times started as some would say nothing before the early 1900's. Anyway we probably shouldn't derail the thread more than it already is being?

Debatable. The invention of the hamburger is a little vague, but it's generally considered to be sometime in the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The Wright brothers flew their first airplane in 1903. Cars are a little harder to pin down, depending if you count steam-powered vehicles or just gasoline-powered automobiles. Boats have been around for thousands of years, which is why I didn't actually mention them in my previous post.

Of course, my real point was that it's a fantasy setting, not real-world medieval times, so our world's history is irrelevant, but.

The fact that it is a fantasy world means it makes even less sense since (presumably) hamburgers exist and are denominated as such because of a particular location!
There is no Hamburg in Eorzea, so where does the word hamburger come from?!

The game is loaded with things named after places, peoples, or historical events that never happened on Etherys. Focusing on hamburgers as if they're the only thing to do so is silly.

I draw the line at hamburgers.
