On his way, Vijartal is thrust into the present eraВ (this is before time travel was overdone in FFXI storylines). The king sends Vijartal to accept the terms, but secretly orders him to assassinate the prince as most Elvaan hate the humans of Bastok. Centuries ago, a prince takes over San d'Oria from his brother, the king, demanding a peace treaty be ratified with Bastok. In a minor quest called 'A Timely Visit,' the player can learn about the legendary hero, Vijartal Caphieux.

Read on for some little-known facts about the world of Final Fantasy XI, and of course, expect spoilers ahead. And now that the final main scenario, Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, has been released, perhaps the game will steadily plateau and settle. After five expansions packs and six add-on scenarios, players (both new and old) have a nearly endless supply of content. Though the game was only meant to last five years, it has tripled its expected lifespan. And the game would constantly grow as mechanics change and old systems become outdated. This is because the game has a whole world of untapped information lore that might really interest even the non-connoisseur. So, Square Enix invests quite a bit of time and energy with expansions and patches for their golden cash-cow.Дespite this, not everything is widely known about Vana'diel, even among diehard Final Fantasy fanatics, or even among the game's own loyal player base. As the first MMORPG in the series, it has its contentious monthly subscription system, so its monetary gains overshadow popular entries like FFVII and FFX despite selling at least ten million fewer units than either best-seller. Released in 2002, Final Fantasy XI has been the most financially successful entry in the franchise to date.
