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!

Thanks for the Information
But im in the room with 2 crystal and red chest
then where should i go next ?
any recommended skills to defeat ristill while passing the brave challenge..she keep hitting me with OP AOE atk so fast
Equip the Fire Element passive on Reviel and Luna, and if you find the passive gem for Fire ELement for your familiars give it to them, that's the best I can give ya.

Also the Parry passive ability works wonders as well, use that to avoid any of her physical attacks. The key is to be defensive when needed and attack when you get an opening, and I HEAVILY suggest having attacks that can delay her as much as you can.
Yep, what J-Man said. It'll help to reduce the fire damage on you.

By the way, J-Man, just wondering, but have you fought the post-game optional boss before? That's like the only boss I can't defeat or didn't make much effort in trying to defeat (well, there's the fact that I pretty much suck at fighting post-game optional bosses in general though haha).
I still can't get passed that bloody wizard who spams the magic, my only idea is to max out the element passives the guy uses on you in an attempt to reduce the damage, but I fear what the Brave Clear is when you're in that place.

Plus I need another Pheonix Feather, I only have one, I'm missing one somewhere. X_X;

I'd like to try those optional bosses, but that's the only thing standing in my way.

EDIT: Oh one tiny thing I noticed in which I say thanks, ha ha, though in the credits if you wanna put my name, put the name Jaymonius instead, I'm far more known by that name these days instead of J-Man. I may ask the mods here if I can change it to that later on. :P

Well, about that, I recently found out another way to defeat that wizard. And it involves maxing out one of the passives (not the element passives) :) That one involves some luck in battle, though.

Alright, then. I'll see to it that the name is changed :)

I'll probably translate the item list and upload here soon. I have the Japanese version of the item list.

Anyway, to give you a head start, Yggdrasil/Zodiac crests can be farmed in any dungeon, but note that their drop rates range from 0.75% to 2%, and in these drop rates, there's a 10% to 20% chance that they are Yggdrasil/Zodiac crests.

For Ruby, farm in the higher level dungeons. Drop rates are the same (0.75% to 2%), but the chance of the items you obtain for ruby is much lower (about 4%).

EDIT: If it helps, this game has New Game +, which will allow you to start a new game while keeping existing items, but only after clearing the game and defeating the post-game optional boss.
no wonder..it so hard to get these items,the drop rate is just too low.anyway thx eplipswich
Yeah, I finally got to the Post-Game Boss, the Brave Clear is 40, I'll give er' a go on that sucker in a day or so, I'm preoccupied on my own game atm, so I'll try and get the post-boss done.

I had to max out my ice element passive and have my other phoenix feather, and then I was able to take em' down!
i already clearing the game.so,where i can find new game+ also where i can fight the optional boss?
Check behind Chaos desk to find a secret passage, beware though, there's a boss as soon as you enter, and will most likely insta-kill you.

got it..but what about newgame+?.eplipswich said"game has New Game +, which will allow you to start a new game while keeping existing items, but only after clearing the game and defeating the post-game optional boss.".i cant find the newgame+,i already cleared the game but still not beat the optional boss or maybe i should defeat the optional boss to to get this newgame+?
Yeah, you have to beat the optional boss to unlock the New Game + according to eplipswich. I haven't done it yet myself, so when one of us beats them, be sure to let everyone else know. :D
i seem cant beat this first optional boss.he just 1 hit kill me without give any chance to fight back.any suggestion,please?
Normally I just lurk around but I made an account just to comment on how great this game is! Was a blast to play and really fun clearing below brave levels.

To beat the first optional boss, you should just equip two phoenix feathers to live through the two spells he casts. Then just do like 150ish damage to him and you win.

I also beat the post-game optional boss (the three girls) under level 40; took me about 1-2 hours of preparation and various failed tactics. Definitely worth it though. I don't think I'm going to bother with the no brave level challenge after it though... that's a little too hardcore.
Congrats on clearing the game, ArcticLobster! Glad that you enjoyed the game ^^

Also, congrats on beating the post-game optional boss! Perhaps you can share some tips and maybe even a video on that! :)

By the way, to everyone else, just to let you know that the optional boss that you have to beat to unlock New Game + is either the three girls under level 40 or the three girls Round 2 with no brave clear challenge. The first option certainly seems to be the better option, though.
I'm really interested in trying out this game but for some reason the text/font won't display even after installing the two fonts. My default display language is already set to English since I'm using Windows 7 Professional, are there any other solutions to this problem?

I'm using Windows 10, but it should work the same since I was using Windows 7 while translating this game.

Did you change the language to English via the following screenshot:



Make sure you change the language via here. Under Control Panel, go to "Clock, Language and Region" and select "Region". Then go to the Administrative tab as shown in the screenshot. You should be prompted to restart the computer after changing the language.

EDIT: I downloaded the game file from here to doubly make sure it works in English, and it works.
