Mizuguchi reveals that Ninety-Nine Nights takes place in a world populated by many different races, including humans and goblins. The peace that once existed in this world gave way to war with the fragmentation of a special orb. The game tells the story of a group of warriors who are caught up in this fight.
Ninety-Nine Nights features multiple main characters. Depending on the character you chose at the outset of the game, you'll end up working through a different story path. Famitsu reveals two characters: Asfa and Infa. Asfa is a blonde-haired male character who wears blue armor and holds a blue weapon. Infa is a red-haired female dressed in red and wielding a long, red sword.
Story is at the center of Ninety-Nine Nights. Mizuguchi asks that we look forward to the amount of story in the game, stating that one of the project's goals is to move players, emotionally. Each character in the game originates from a different group having different customs and has a different stance on world events. You'll get a feeling for this aspect of the game the more you play.
The story's structure looks like it will be pretty complex. The individual stories for each character are closely connected. In addition, the storyline features branching points. You'll have to make choices about which path to follow, each one having different consequences. The development staff is working to fine tune the amount of branch points in the storyline so as to best benefit the story.
I hope they will have some realtime stuff next week !
