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!

If I'm not wrong, they just need to be summoned, but if you want to double confirm, you can test out their Experience Rise skill and see if being in reserve or active makes a difference (unlike Loot Rise, you can definitely tell how much experience you gain for a battle). But one thing I know for sure is that they definitely need to be summoned.

If it works with Experience Rise, it definitely works the same with Loot Rise.

Didn't I ask about that back on like page 6? xD and you said it didn't stack remember :P

author=eplipswich
From what I understand from the Japanese wiki, separate passives do not stack, so only the higher level skill counts.

Maybe I should really translate the Japanese wiki lol.

Did you do some further testing or something? I've purposely not stacked loot rise because of that lol, trying to farm some end game stuff, almost got it all.

now I have to go do some further testing :P

edit: after a bit of testing (like 2 mins) they do stack, and I made sure to use the exact same monsters each time (annoying amount of reloading lol) but with +80%exp/60%loot in battle I got 594 exp, for the second battle the familiar was summoned but not in the battle (in the sidelines I guess) same 80%exp/60%loot, I got 330exp and the third battle I had the 80%/60% in the battle along with +20%exp/30%loot and I got 660 exp which means they definitely for sure stack also that battle is the only of the 3 that I got a drop when I had +90% loot, not even the first battle where I had +60% but drops are random but im going to assume that they do stack together as well

so the first time I guess we were wrong lol

Yeah, now I remember I actually mentioned that it doesn't stack, until I recently reread the stacking part in the wiki twice and realized I read it wrong :p It does stack.

and here I farmed almost everything with only 60% loot when I could've used a bit more xD and I could've used my treasure hunt that I got too a lot earlier and probably could've gotten everything faster lol

No, that is only if you don't feel like solving a puzzle and just get on with the game by spending Exp. But I would encourage solving the puzzles.

Remember that Exp works like money for Reviel. Reviel only levels up when you use Exp to learn new skills.

Hmm... A little hard to explain, but I think my strategy was just to use the other two familiars to tank and support while Reviel deals the main damage. This battle, imo, is really all about surviving for as long as you can.

Boost up your fire resistance. It will help you a lot against Ristill, whose attacks are mostly fire-elemental.

Looks cool! Gonna try this. ^_^


You will not be disappointed!

thanks for the suggestion! i did beat her after i put fire resistance passive and switch a familiar as a dps. i didn't know that the familiars will be tanky enough to survive at that point.

however, i am getting stuck at beating Khaos now. do you have any suggestion? i can't seem to figure out his limit barrier element and i don't really get what his skill element (to watch out for) is. all but my ignis lizard was wiped out when he cast his aoe attack (2 of 3 still has full health.. i think).
