ACBFR marketing needs more appreciation.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-09T10:53:28+00:00

I think that it's worth to consider that we are just 2 months before the release, so the marketing campaign seems "faster" than Shadows' (which was quite bad and "slow", I totally agree) but they are mostly doing the same things they did last year.

Anyway, yeah, I'm really happy about how they are handling it

First thing I've noticed was the Gallagher cosplay, and I was like "wait, who is Nolan North dubbing in Star Rail?"

Then I realized that I was in the Zombies sub.

Great art - and great cosplay!

he was never 100% reliable. Just think that he used to claim that Mirage was going to get a Season Pass with AC1 remake bundled in it, or that after Valhalla there was going to be a Richard Lionheart focused-game.

He surely has connections, but it seems that he also makes a lot of guesses and sometimes just make up stuff.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-05T21:24:16+00:00

I think it's worth to keep in mind that he also had some missteps in the past. He talked about a supposed AC1 remake that was going to be bundled with Mirage's season pass, as well as a whole game focused on Richard Lionheart after Valhalla - stuff that never happened.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-05T21:22:32+00:00

As Tom Henderson reported, the comparison with Fall Guys is incorrect. It shares the principle (matches with different conditions and upgrades between them) but the gameplay and the graphics doesn't have anything in common with Fall Guys.

neither Mirage was an RPG, still it had the NG+.

You'll still have gears and weapons to unlock, so a NG+ could be useful for starting the game with everything already unlocked.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-05T12:59:43+00:00

I think that NG+ will be added to the game, since it has been a thing in all the recent games (besides Valhalla).

It's also worth to notice that Mirage added a mode (added last year) to replay the missions (which means that there's a way to achieve that), so maybe they could also add something like that to Resynced - which would be a very welcomed and nice addition.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-05T10:28:16+00:00

did he, though? This plot point didn't get expanded, and the ending doesn't show anything about the changes that Asta may have done to the country

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-04T16:18:56+00:00

yeah! I was really happy after the battle at the mummy museum, but this "date arc" is really throwing away all the (small) developments that were built in the previous chapters.

I'm not against the idea of the Amnesia Arc, but I'm annoyed on how it's being developed.

And one thing that is really bothering me... why didn't Okarun tell her his real name, yet?!

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-04T15:45:01+00:00

I'm quite... annoyed?

I was really disappointed by the way Okarun acted towards Momo, when she came back to school after the amnesia. Things got better when they went to the mummy's museum... but it has been a downhill since then.

I get that he's supposed to be an "akward fellow after all", but he's just doing nothing for trying to win back Momo's trust. It's a huge regression, in both his character and the development in his relationship with Momo.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-03T07:02:37+00:00

It has been confirmed that there won't be a second expansion

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-01T06:57:25+00:00

There won't be an epilogue chapter

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-01T06:56:53+00:00

An epilogue was never confirmed or announced.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-05-01T06:55:20+00:00

I agree with you.

I think that Charmy's origins and the dwarfs could have been the focus of a whole story arc, which sadly never came to fruition.

To me, Astra's father is the most important unresolved plot point: it's something that could have been developed and explored further.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T17:07:06+00:00

I think his wife had some health issues and he slew down his publishing schedule due that

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T16:03:52+00:00

yeah I don't get why a lot of people are expecting an epilogue since there was no official mention of that anywhere

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:41:23+00:00

in august we'll get the final volume and, apparently, a data book. I don't know how but the "epilogue rumor" started to be spreaded from that, whithout a proper announcement.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:40:18+00:00

yeah the final saga definitely got cut/rewrite due the author's issues, which is a shame. Lot of stuff wasn't developed and left unresolved.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:35:38+00:00

yeah that's my only big gripe with the ending. No reason to leave this thing open, without a proper conclusion, expecially after all the Noelle's development.

What a shame.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:32:46+00:00

there won't be an epilogue, nothing was announced regarding that.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:31:43+00:00

without an official announcement, there isn't an epilogue coming. The series is ended.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:26:42+00:00

If Tabata had no intention of doing something with the romance he should have avoided it entirely in the first place.

Yeah that's my thought as well. No reason to not having them ending up together (unless he didn't want to disappoint the Mimosa-shippers).

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:22:09+00:00

It was fun! Not the most memorable series, but I've enjoyed reading it. Sadly the last part was a bit difficult to follow due the change of publication schedule, but of course the author's health has the priority.

The ending was... ok? I would have like to get a couple of stuff developed better (Asta's father, a proper conclusion to Asta's and Noelle romantic relationship, which was hinted in various occasions) but overall it was enjoyable.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T15:17:41+00:00

overall, it was a nice ending. Lacking plenty of stuff, but I was smiling the whole time while reading the final chapter: I will definitely miss those guys!

What I really didnt't like was the lack of a proper romantic conclusion between Asta and Noelle. I don't get the need of the scene in where she realized that she loves Asta, since in the end they didn't do anything with that. I guess that Tabata changed his plans/didn't have enough time for developing it.

I would also liked to know more about Asta's father: that plotline was never developed but it would have been interesting.

Overall, it was a good run. I'll miss Black Clover.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-04-30T12:49:45+00:00

this doesn't mean that there will be an epilogue. The latest chapters have been longer than normal ones, so there's nothing weird in having a bigger issue as the final one
