Story in Multiplayer
The story in multiplayer mode is set in the new world created by Yuri and Chelinka, with no one having a full recollection (besides small fragments) of the events of the main story, other than Yuri and Chelinka (and possibly King Kolka). The city of Rebena Te Ra is all but deserted (the only ones remaining being the guards, King Kolka, and his adviser), as its citizens have fled from the rising monster population. As more areas are beaten by the player(s), more people return to the city until it is completely repopulated by its original inhabitants. Eventually, all the citizens return, with the exception of the Selkie blacksmith, replaced by Cu Chaspel, who claims to have undergone a "journey of self-discovery" and now runs the shop himself in a sincere (if strange, as he cannot shake the habit of breaking into maniacal laughter) manner.
After the player(s) have defeated the Crystal Temple, the door to the king's chambers opens to Tilika being attacked by the dead spirit who impersonated Al. After the spirit's defeat, Kolka abdicates his throne to his daughter, much to the surprise of all present. Tilika nervously accepts and is immediately accepted by the residents of the city.
Some major differences between the worlds found in story and multiplayer mode are present, such as Cu Chaspel's new lifestyle. Others include a much happier King Kolka, an advisor who does not impersonate Al, though her real name is never given, and the lack of Galdes being present, asides from his appearance as a boss.
Some signs of connection with Yuri and Chelinka and their party members are also present. Al and Meeth still live in the Villa with the twins and their parents, and Gnash is also mentioned when Yuri spots an arrow taro on Al's head (apparently left as a gift).
The world in which the GCN game takes place is also mentioned by a Yuke who describes a vision of a land where Miasma blankets everything and to venture beyond the protection of the crystals means death. However, whether the Yuke went to future, wandered into another world or dreamed the experience is left ambiguous.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Wit is often concise and sparkling, compressed into an original pun or metaphor. Brevity is said to be its soul. Humor can be more leisurely, diffused through a whole story or picture which undertakes to show some of the comic aspects of life. What it devalues may be human nature in general, by showing that certain faults or weaknesses are universal. As such it is kinder and more philosophic than wit which focuses on a certain individual, class, or social group.”
—Thomas Munro (1897–1974)
