A frankly WAY TOO DEEP analysis of Reign of Nightfall Lore

A frankly WAY TOO DEEP analysis of Reign of Nightfall Lore

After rewatching the entire story + FOOL Event P1 I have noted down everything I thought seemed lore relevant. I might have missed a few things here or there but ultimately this is the final result. Here are some notes:

  • Voiced lines triumph over translated lines. Of course, that also means there's no actual spelling for the words so pardon me if they're written incorrectly.
  • Took an embarassingly long time to deduce Nodus is the current continent, becuase nobody actually says "Gosh I love this continent we live in called Nodus". They say things like "I sail between Nodus and Santa". Translation often called it Southern Ocean Continent or Mainlaind or even China. However it once translated to 'Naze' which is exactly what Nodus is translated to.
  • For the Shadowborn Abilities Index, I only wrote the abilities I was 100% sure. For example I'm sure characters like Liquidator and Candela have abilities. I'm also unsure whether Ghost has anything to do with the blue lights/lantern. And I'm pretty sure mistress has either a paper or a map related ability, but unless the story spells it out, I ain't putting it down.
  • I also only placed people with actual sprites. So I didn't include, for example, the Security Guard in Fool Event who can sense shadow abilities.
  • For specific locations (as in shops, houses, etc) I only entered those with a Name and a background. Otherwise they get a passing name.
  • The story mentions 7 continents , though one is unknown. I don't know what the 6th one is. Maybe it IS nodus and I just merged those into two, but it'll remain that way until I get more evidence they're not the same place
  • Thank you idk for posting the entire story in youtube.
  • If you want to add things or issue corrections I would appreciate telling me exactly where your correction comes from "chapter 5" means 3 hours of research for something you might misremember. "chapter 5-11" is at least much more helpful.

June Revenue

Reign of Nightfall made 5 million in june from its CN server, ranking it 29th among all gacha games in June. This is estimations by SensorTower and, iiirc, only accounts for mobile and not PC purchases.

For the rest of the ranking https://revenue.ennead.cc/revenue

What does this mean for us, the players?

Many games never reach top 50, so I think the fact our game reached that as a great sign for things to come. I doubt we have to worry about EoS. Honestly July should be more indicative of the game's actual placement since every gacha gets some boosts for their release (and other major milestones like anniversaries). I expect RoN to fall off in July, but I have high hopes it'll remain in top 50.

~~Also with a certain other gacha orienated for women taking a MAJOR hit it's possible some fans trickle down to RoN since they share a similar fanbase.~~

Global! Global...Global. Global?

I have no idea whether this is enough for global, but I have hopes. Mostly because this game is already with one foot in the global rather than anything revenue-wise. They paying double the money to voice everything in English [actually more, because they have to first hire a team to translate those lines to english] AND the game has an option to change the text (although chinese is only option right now). The 6th game is Naruto Online and it's CN exclusive.

Profit or Loss?

Since this only shows the revenue, we don't know how much profit was actually made. Were I to guess I think this game isn't expensive enough for this to be a loss. It's difficult to say. The game has SO many CGs ,[the fool event for example has like 10+], every NPC is voiced, there's so many animations, the art is SO gorgeous it MUST cost a pretty penny. Even things like UI art (think of how many assets used in the fool event, from the shop to the dice game, to the tetris game, etc) are pretty nice.

With that said, its still a 2D game without an open world, so I would guess it made a profit.

Anyway that's all!

Games with romance?

I'm hoping to play rpg games that have the two following criteria:

  1. Lets me create/play a female protagonist
  2. Lets me date a guy

I played Dragon Age, Greedfall (didn't enjoy and never finished), BG3, Fire Emblem, Both pathfinder games, the Rune Factory games (do they count?) and Pillars of Eternity.

I only have PC.
