Vampires are creatures that live amidst the darkness of eternal night. They have absolutely no regard for human lives and treat them like stones to be kicked away.

One night, a girl was running in a forest while being chased by three bandits. Then a black-clothed man passed by and subsequently took them down easily. The girl, who thought she was saved by him, wanted to repay him and thus invited him to her village.

......The man, who was actually a vampire, smiled and accepted her invitation. After all, the more prey, the merrier......


Nocturne: Rebirth (月夜に響くノクターン Rebirth) is a popular 10 to 20-hour (story-wise) dark fantasy JRPG originally created using RPG Maker XP in 2009 by Shou (or Cogwheel) and translated into English by me, eplipswich. It is actually the remake of the game Nocturne created using RPG Maker 2000 way back in 2002. The differences between the two include new graphics and a new battle system, with only the story virtually unchanged. This version serves as the English version of Nocturne: Rebirth. It is also my second game translation after Seraphic Blue.

Nocturne: Rebirth is notable for
- A highly original ATB battle system
- Touch-based enemy encounters
- Slick battle animations
- A highly versatile character levelling system via skill upgrades
- Unique Familiar Summon System
- Almost 100% custom graphics
- Characters that players can sympathize with
- Unique soundtracks
and so much more!

Latest Blog

Blog 18: Boy, has it been a while. 10,000 downloads and what's been going on

Well, first of all, this is late, but better late than never. Nocturne Rebirth has officially become one of the big boys of 10k downloads, so congrats on that!

So if you've been wondering what has been going on, I'm still translating the visual novel called Aiyoku no Eustia, so once again, if you're interested in that, you can check it out at https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/16982-aiyoku-no-eustia-translation-project-partial-patch-is-out/

Then what about the RPG Maker scene? Remember what I said before about the game Hat World/Hatalonia at http://rpgex.sakura.ne.jp/littleworld/? Well, a revamp of it just got released about 7 months ago, with the latest version just released last month! I'm currently playing it, and I'm really enjoying it! Truly, I feel this game deserves to be translated. But I will only most likely embark on translating this game after I'm done playing it and I'm substantially done with translating Aiyoku no Eustia, so it'll be a long wait. Hopefully you'll see a game page of Hatalonia here next year! So do look forward to it.

So yep, that's really it from me for now. Till next time!

I played this for a bit. I really liked the battle animations. I wouldn't be surprised if this game got featured and won next year for a Misaos.
Nope crashes soon as i start it apparently i wont be able to play it using that method either since it doesnt support xp and my system is literally stuck in japanese locale i cant change that without the cd that i dont have

Oh, yours is in Japanese locale? In that case, I've edited something that will fix your problem. Download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/?cxdbqs3bxr3ua0p Then just paste it into the game folder and replace accordingly.
well it worked somewhat the menu options appeared but still no text in the game like the textboxes are blank still
eplipswich, I have a question about the final FINAL bonus boss (a couple really);

Is there any way to stop True Twilight? Are there more effects to that move other than resurrecting them and what seems like negating my accessories?

Nope, there's no way to stop True Twillight in Round 2. The only way to win is to either kill them one after another in quick succession of kill them all at once.

And yep, you pretty much figured out the effects of True Twillight.

Thanks for the feedback. I seem to have noticed something else, though it didn't come as a surprise;

Looks like they are immune to all status ailments, including Delay. I guess my only recourse is to focus on each one individually to figure out their HP and then find a way to survive long enough to take them all out at once.

Another question, does the "Shorten SCT" effect of the Full Moon Sword and the Wrath Armor stack?
@Zadok83:

Yeah, it stacks if I remember correctly.

Good luck on the boss fight!


it suddenly started working correctly after i hard reset my computer lol but im playing it now and im enjoying it so far
I FINALLY DID IT!

Though it is kinda a let down that I didn't get anything for doing so, or am I missing something?
@Zadok83: Nope, you're not missing anything. It's just an achievement for you to brag about :p

In any case, congrats!

Thanks. Man, I haven't had that good of a fight in a long time. Kinda gave me flashbacks of the SMT Nocturne fiend battles. It came down to the wire, as Reviel was the only one left standing. I just followed the strategy I spoke of previously and was able to pull it off. I might just do a New Game+ with solo Reviel and see how well I can do.
Game looks good, but I can't play it. I guess it's because I'm on Windows 10. Open it up, game stays at a black screen, and freezes. Music plays, but that's it. ; ;

Try playing it in compatibility mode (7 or below)?

Not sure why yours doesn't work in Windows 10, though. It works perfectly here on my laptop, which is also in Windows 10.
Hey.
Just finished the game. Brave clear was a pain in the ass until i decided to switch targets.

I saw that there was optional boss you had to do in order to unlock new game plus.
To kill him I need phoenix feather.
Where do I find them ?

Also, will I have to do the final fight again ?

Oh and do you have suggestions for more games like this one ?
Phoenix Feathers should drop in the final dungeon, though you'll only need one if you know which elements to resist. Also, you don't need to worry about Brave Clearing the final boss ever again because the Brave Clear drop will be recorded in your global save file forever. BTW, good job on beating the game.

Grats on completing the game! :)

Not sure if you have played Seraphic Blue, the other game that I've translated, so you might want to try that if you haven't already. It's longer and much darker, but I think you might enjoy the story.
@eplipswich
I want to ask one or two thing.
1. Will there will be Nocturne 2?
2. Are there any e-book of walkthrough of this game?
Please answer..
I HEAVILY doubt there'll be a sequel. :P

1. No word from the developer of a sequel, so yeah, like J-Man said, don't think there will be. Besides, I think the Nocturne story ended pretty perfectly.

2. There is a walkthrough online, but it's in Japanese. If you don't mind using Google Translate for that walkthrough, here's the link: http://www16.atwiki.jp/nocturnerebirth/pages/79.html

I may create an English walkthrough in the future, but let's see how it goes.
