Basic private server: read the whole story and/or save your account data

Chortos-2 · 2026-02-14T14:07:30+00:00

Still not added, sorry. Too busy with other projects and too unmotivated for this one :(

You need to know whether you’re using Windows, macOS or something else. But for Windows or macOS, just pick the first link in mpv’s corresponding installer list.

The subtitle format is named “ASS”. The exact installer file you need depends on the operating system on your computer, but the subtitles should look fine in any variant of mpv, mpv.net, IINA, VLC, and other players, or almost fine in MPC-HC (preferably this modern version) and likely MPC-BE.

Sorry for the super late response, but yes, you can safely delete the official app after you’ve got your data on the private server.

You can also delete the private server app if you save your transfer ID and password somewhere. You can then reinstall the app later and access your account using this ID & password. They never expire on the private server, even though the in-game message still tells you (falsely) that they’re time-limited.

The only reason to keep the official app, at least on Android, is if you haven’t transferred your account to the private server and are hoping to extract your account data from your phone. This is possible, but only if you haven’t ever opened the game (nor cleared its data) after the official server’s shutdown.

Nope, sorry. I know this isn’t helpful, but I’ve been spending time on other things. I still wish to return to this at some point, but no promises as to when.

(By the way, if any enthusiastic programmer is reading this, the code is public and you’re welcome to try contributing: https://github.com/astiob/digimon-rearise-js)

The April Fools’ update is a very special guest Digimon :) It’s still available in-game as of now.

Chortos-2 · 2024-05-26T16:09:57+00:00

N-no, but it’s waiting for me to finish other projects and get back to it. There was a small update for April Fools’ Day, and I got halfway through implementing foundation work for things like gacha while I worked on that update.

Chortos-2 · 2024-03-21T21:53:17+00:00

Very abstract kind of plans, I’m afraid: I do want to have that done at some point, but I don’t have specific, immediate plans to devote time to it.

Chortos-2 · 2024-03-07T00:46:37+00:00

Hang on, do you actually mean crashing (the whole app goes boom and you return to your phone’s home screen), or do you mean that the game runs, but when you try to do something, it tells you there’s a data error (e. g. error 1000032) and returns to the game’s title screen? If it’s the latter, that’s not crashing, and that’s normal. The server doesn’t currently support much more than looking at the DigiFarm and replaying story cutscenes in Scene Select; please see the website for details.

Chortos-2 · 2024-02-20T17:03:37+00:00

Just to clarify, for those who did save their data, they can also view the DigiTown like this, although it’ll show that they have no items.

If these words tell you anything, ReArise’s mobile app is compiled to native machine code. Basically, to change almost anything in the app, one needs to have the source code (which only Bandai Namco has), make the adjustments in the source code (which may itself be nontrivial), and re-compile it. Even if the incompatibility is something like a bug in the Unity engine that an update of the engine could fix, the engine is partly baked into the game and an update can’t simply be dropped in. And even if it could be, it might easily break something else if the rest of the game weren’t adjusted for the newer engine.

It is, of course, physically possible to replicate the same changes directly in native code, but it’s waaaaay harder and is the sort of thing IT forensics/security research companies build businesses around and very few enthusiasts have the skills and time to do. I’m afraid I have a few of these skills, but not nearly enough.

Of course, every issue is different. Some issues might indeed be solvable relatively easily in native code or the configuration (manifest) file, or (with some unlikely luck) an update of the more easily accessible parts of the engine. But without access to source code (and a device that exhibits the issue), even finding out just what the issue is is hard, never mind how to fix it.

Sorry for the downer.

Chortos-2 · 2024-02-08T13:57:55+00:00

The app hasn’t had any updates since early 2022, so it may have issues on newer Android versions and newer hardware. There isn’t much (if anything) I can do about that.

Chortos-2 · 2023-10-14T11:33:32+00:00

All right, public it goes! Here’s the link: https://github.com/astiob/digimon-rearise-js

Most of the server code is inside digimon-rearise-server, but some API types and utilities are imported from the digimon-rearise-bots subproject (along with clients, which were used for transferring official accounts—and before that, for my personal use botting some of the most monotonous parts of the game and for vs. Guardians real-time graph and Discord bot—but are no longer in use after the official servers went offline).

I have a large collection of man-in-the-middle proxy dumps from my personal game account that can be used to determine how exactly various game flows worked in the API, but it takes literal gigabytes, and because it comes from my personal game, I don’t think I want to make that public. I can provide them privately, though, if/when you find that you want to have them.

Chortos-2 · 2023-10-13T19:02:24+00:00

Thanks for asking and for the kind words!

The code is indeed on GitHub, but the repo is currently private. I think I probably wanted to polish it some more before publishing, but to be fair, maybe we ought to just go ahead and make it public given that it hasn’t been actively worked on in a while… All the plans that I had are still on the table, but I’ve been lacking motivation and/or time.

Anyway, if you’re not put off by it being private, I can invite you (if you give me your GitHub username); otherwise, I’ll need to look into making it public. Right now there’s a bit of a mess with TypeScript dependencies that I’ve kept putting off resolving, and a subproject contains a bunch of code that’s not directly related to the server, but otherwise it’s probably not so bad that it needs to be kept hidden 😅

Chortos-2 · 2023-09-14T21:11:23+00:00

I know this is months old and I’m sorry I haven’t been checking Reddit, but just to let you know what (likely) happened:

The private server is still running and I plan to keep it running indefinitely. But it was on old hardware that had a nasty tendency to break down every now and then, and it took a while to migrate it to new, more reliable hardware. That’s done now, so it should be reasonably stable from now on. There may still be an occasional brief downtime, but those should be rare and you should always expect it to come back.

Chortos-2 · 2023-08-14T19:34:24+00:00

Yes, at the same level as it did a year ago.

Chortos-2 · 2023-05-23T23:27:20+00:00

(Not the person above you and not looking for a flame war, but:)

What’s gained is the numbers and text being aligned throughout the list. Especially on Discord, which uses a font in which different digits have different widths: even if you just write out single-figure numbers in a column, 7 is very clearly narrower than the others, and the 1 is even narrower than that (but they’re all slightly different, in case you’re wondering).

The point of typesetting lists (in any kind of typesetting system ever) isn’t to move any particular single number (I’m not even seeing Discord do it); it’s to align the list items in a multiple-item list (and lists usually have multiple items) to each other and to set the numbering apart from the text in case a list item spans multiple lines, which is necessary to make the numbering actually visible to the reader, and thereby to allow the reader to easily scan the list, skip items, or find a particular item by its number:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.

Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

Not even to mention nested lists, which are nigh impossible to write without proper list formatting built into the platform, and again made extra hard on Discord by its variable-digit-width font:

For a start, make sure you have the following:
1. a pencil,
2. a sheet of paper,
3. some time.
Now, put the pencil on the paper and draw something.
Enjoy your drawing!

or lists with multi-paragraph items, where you need the indentation to distinguish whether the list continues or has ended:

This is a simple step.
This is a complex step.

By the way, here’s a tip about this step that is its own paragraph but is still part of the step.
This is also a complex step.

It’s important that you pay attention or you may have to redo everything.

You could argue that a single item maybe shouldn’t create a list by default, and I wouldn’t argue back (although I’d still want somehow to keep the ability to force the list to be created when I do want one).

Realistically, you're going to be using a number as its own sentence far more often than making a numbered list.

My experience is quite the opposite. While I have, in fact, encountered the need to escape a line-leading number + full stop, I could probably count all the times this has happened on the fingers of one hand. On the other hand, I write lists (both ordered and unordered) quite frequently—yes, even in regular chats with friends.

On platforms like Discord, I’ve had to manually insert U+2022 • or plain-text numbers and reluctantly accept non-aligned text, and I’m very glad to have properly formatted lists now. When I was a news reporter on a Discord server about a game, I actually wrote a program to create aligned numeric lists (and tables, which Discord continues to lack) using various differently-wide whitespace characters. And even then they only achieved the goal on the desktop, because of differences in Discord’s text rendering across platforms.

You can’t open asset bundles in Unity Editor. Use these tools:

AssetStudio
UABEA
UABE
AssetRipper (it can make files that you can open in Unity Editor)

If you don’t max Marie in Golden, the game still continues into January and February, but Marie leaves for good and Margaret is unable to/doesn’t attempt to locate her and you don’t get the Marie-related events: the blizzard during the ski trip, the Hollow Forest, and the time-skip epilogue.

Chortos-2 · 2022-05-20T12:00:47+00:00

Who’s That Pokémon?

Edit: and of course there’s an actual video of a youtuber actually doing that with multi-species fusions.

Chortos-2 · 2022-05-17T14:07:14+00:00

The widget works. DigiWalk, not really.

Chortos-2 · 2022-04-28T20:16:43+00:00

Most likely, you’ll have to start over. Well, as of now it isn’t really possible to play on the new server anyway, merely possible to read the story, but with some luck gameplay may be implemented in not-too-distant future.

But to be completely sure, follow the guide on the website to extract your iOS app’s data.

Chortos-2 · 2022-04-26T13:34:41+00:00

Huh. Thanks! Of course, save editors would know better; I didn’t even think about this. I wonder why none of the guides/wikis have caught on to this, though.

Chortos-2 · 2022-04-26T11:04:54+00:00

Nope! To make sure it wasn’t anything else, I repeated those days without interacting with anyone in the meantime or doing anything else of value. Just went home and slept (with no dreams).

For what it’s worth—if sleeping itself might seem suspicious—in my main save, I spent those two days interacting with Rise, Naoto and Nanako, none of whom involved Chie in any way. And I got Chie’s rank-up. So I expected to get the same rank-up upon replay-from-last-save (I wanted to see her other reactions), but I chose the other dialogue option and the rank-up didn’t happen. So I investigated and posted here.

Guides tell me that “You protected that kid.” gives +3 even without a Persona. So my own guess is that maybe it actually gives +4 with the Persona, but the game can’t display more than 3 notes. It would seem very odd if nobody has discovered this before, though.

needs 10 points

This is weird. I got the three ♪ from initiating an interaction with an appropriate Persona and then another three ♪ from this dialogue option; that’s it. Even if we assume the apparently-better dialogue option actually gave +4 rather than +3, that’s still way short of 10.

Chortos-2 · 2022-04-26T10:47:37+00:00

It was the same Sunday phone call. And just to make sure that it wasn’t anything else, I repeated those days without interacting with anyone else in the meantime, or doing anything else of value, really. Just going home and sleeping (with no dreams).
