Thinking about when I was going to make a long post about who I thought Nightbringer was, but then the game got axed before I could and it felt pointless...

Well, in case anyone is curious, I think Nightbringer was supposed to be either Barbatos's Little D or someone else related to fairies.

There are a handful of mentions of fairies through the original story and the Nightbringer story. Here's what we know:

We can see through the plotline with Mammon, Luke, Satan and Simeon and the fairy rings that fairies are able to manipulate time or perception of time.

The Fairy King ruled over the Devildom before the first Demon King

The tree from which the Little D's are born was tended to by the Fairy King

We learn through a conversation between Satan and Mephistopheles that Oberon was omitted from the history books and replaced with the Fairy Queen Titania. Why? What happened there?

Nightbringer is said to be "the first demon", and it is strongly implied that Barbatos is one of the first, meaning his Little D would count as well.

I mean, it's highly likely that Nightbringer is just Barbatos but that's boring and too easy. And if you read through, there is a weird amount of emphasis on fairies for seemingly no reason. Like in the Kingsblood Crucible. Why would Diavolo tell you all about the fairy king if it wasn't going to be important to the plot later?

Idk, I'm just throwing words at the wall here. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them!

Not my usual content, but I’ve been playing Rebirth and I’m just in love and Aerith and Tifa! 💖🫶 This one sentence made me giggle. THEY’RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!

I’m usually not huge on shipping, but Tifa and Aerith changed my brain chemistry. Every time they have little moments together, I get a shot of serotonin. I love them so much. 😭💖🙏

The queen! 💖👑✨

Update: I’m home and in recovery! I’m hopeful that this surgery will actually give me some lasting relief. For staters, my pain isn’t as nearly as bad as the last surgery. Of course, I’m also going to take some precautions to make sure I stay healthy as long as I am able. 🙏

[karasu904]

I don’t really do personal updates on here, but I’m having a pretty serious surgery tomorrow. Hopefully, it will improve my quality of life!

Thoughts and good vibes would be appreciated. 🙏

What people think happened (for some reason):

OM Team makes the original OM game

OM Team abandons it for no reason

OM Team makes Nightbringer

OM Team abandons Nightbringer for no reason

OM Team makes third OM game

Will definitely abandon it for no reason

And all of this is done out of greed, apparently (despite the fact that constantly releasing and "abandoning" games is a terrible business move that won't actually make you any money)

What ACTUALLY happened:

OM Team makes the original OM game

Game absolutely blows up, the servers become overloaded and are unable to keep up with the volume of players

Servers become too outdated to continue using long term

OM Team makes Nightbringer, giving the OM franchise room to grow again, and using servers that aren't nearly as obsolete and overtaxed

Meanwhile, the parent company (NTT Corp) spends multiple years making atrocious business decisions and mismanaging their subsidiaries, including Solmare

NTT Corp makes extremely bullshit decision to wrap up the OM games because they no longer want to fund the development of otome games AT ALL

OM Team is forced to make a hasty and unplanned conclusion to NB's main story, leaving the OM franchise in an uncertain position going forward

OM Team doesn't want to let the OM franchise die, promises to still release new content and projects

OM Team finds other game dev studios to collaborate with, and are now making a new OM game so that the franchise can keep living

OM Team takes fan demand into serious account, and heavily priorities romance in the new game, with deeper and more intimate relationships (something the fans have been begging for)

And this is all factual. This info has been confirmed by the old mods/staff of the official OM Discord, as well as multiple data miners who were able to see firsthand how outdated and overburdened the servers actually are. NTT Corp's business moves are very public and can easily be viewed online. None of this is a secret.

I'm not saying that the games are above criticism, or that nobody is allowed to have opinions about the new game coming out. All of that is fine. But there's a huge difference between an opinion, and outright misinformation. And the OM fandom has a huge problem with uncritically believing misinformation at face value and repeating it/spreading it around - which is at both the games AND the fans' detriment overall.
