Let's scribble down some stuff about how to navigate the datamine. I'm not gonna talk about how to access it in hopes that the page won't get nuked.

Common Terms/Shorthand

These shortcuts are found throughout the files in various situations. Card types, level labels, etc.

• Sun - Logic
• Moon - Empathy
• Star - Intuition
• Spy / XY - Luke
• Lawyer / ZR - Artem
• Professor / MY - Vyn
• Richson / LJH - Marius (I lol'd)
• Richman - Summer Breeze
• Island - Lost Gold
• Urbanlegend - Symphony of the Night
• Iceland - Skadi

Any text in code tags is discussing a filename (and possibly subsection of that file)

translationen

Meat and potatoes of where to pull text from. Enormous. Has two sections: StoryMainEN and TextMapEN.

StoryMainEN

StoryMainEN is the source of all story dialogue text in the game. Not battles, menus, text messages, phone calls, etc, but the actual main script of the VN itself. It exists entirely to be called by the story file.

            {
                "IncrementalID": 505053,
                "StoryID": 20024,
                "DialogID": 120,
                "TextEN": "Concerns? Was it because of me?"
            },

• IncrementalID - just an index that is not referenced by outside sources.
• StoryID, DialogueID - is called by story. Denotes which line is being translated.

TextMapEN

TextMapEN in the source of all other text in the game. If it doesn't pop up in a dialogue box in the center of your screen, it's probably from here.

            {
                "IncrementalID": 7001363,
                "ID": 4147972,
                "English": "What did Prometheus give to humanity?"
            },,

• IncrementalID - just an index that is not referenced by outside sources.
• ID - these vary WILDLY and are not in any discernable order -- trials of Athena in the 4140000 range comes before battleTalk in the 200000 range which both come before clue names in the 301000 range, for example -- but they are unique and are called by many different files.

level

Describes Stages and stage-related data.

BattleTalk

MC's counterarguments.

            {
                "ID": 283,
                "TalkInfos": [
                    {
                        "TalkOrderID": 1,
                        "AttributeType": "Sun",
                        "TalkTextID": 2000831
                    },

• ID - each group of counterarguments is defined by this single ID that can be called by multiple stages.
• Talkinfos - container for group of individual lines
• TalkOrderID - untested - probably defines the order in which they come out? seems unimportant
• AttributeType - this counterargument comes when the player selects this element from the personal deck (see common terms above for equivalent to sun/moon/star)
• TalkTextID - calling translationen/TextMapEN

Buff

Empty section

Condition

Empty section

Group

            {
                "ID": 17,
                "Order": 4,
                "Type": 4,
                "JumpTargetType": "GotoBirthday",
                "LockTextmapID": "1008",
                "BannerPath": "subbanner/sub_banner_birthday_my",
                "IsDisplay": true
            },

Have not delved too deeply into this. Appears to describe what buttons a player can touch to go to which stage listings. Includes event listings such as the above which is important later....

Reward

Have not studied. Appears to describe stage rewards e.g. first time completion S-chips. Might warrant digging into but we as players can also easily observe and record this with little effort.

Star

Empty section

Week

Have not studied. Appears to link back to groups. You'd think it describes our daily schedule, but there are 9 entries.

Schedule

Describes the event schedule. !!!Dates listed here should be treated as tentative until officially announced!!!

            {
                "ID": 3,
                "GroupID": 17,
                "StartTime": "2021-09-22 12:00:00",
                "EndTime": "2021-10-03 03:59:59"
            },

GroupID links back to groups above; this example is group 17 which is described in the group section as birthday_my, so here we have a tentative schedule for Vyn's birthday event.

Bonus

Appears to describe some mechanism for certain cards being more powerful in certain stages.

            {
                "ID": 7,
                "BonusInfos": [
                    {
                        "CardStar": 2,
                        "CoinID": 10,
                        "CardID": [
                            10115,
                            10117,
                            10112,
                            10118
                        ],
                        "MainBonus": 125,
                        "SupportBonus": 125
                    }
                ]
            },

I tried looking into this, but none of the cards listed (CardID links to card) are any we have access to at this time, so this is future content. Having played other gachas though, it's not unheard of for event-specific units to get power boosts during their event. The above describes the R cards "All Ready," "Here For You," "Another Side of You," and "Practice Makes Perfect" as performing at maybe +25% or even +125% effectiveness, the latter of which would see them performing better than basegame SSRs... but then there are other entries describing event SSRs as getting a massive +400% bonus, just in case you thought they were being nice.

Main

Finally the good part. This tells you pretty much everything you need to know about a stage. Here's Main Story 01-16 to start us off.
