Analyzing the trophy descriptions...
It seems Arc's route will only have one ending, since there's one single trophy for "get Arcueid's ending", meanwhile Ciel has one for "get Ciel's TRUE ending". There's a generic "get one ending" trophy but it's named after Ciel's route.
Getting some mixed signals here. There's no trophy for "get Ciel's Normal/Good ending" but at the same time the other trophy specifies "Ciel's TRUE ending".

Kinda curious about why Arc only has one and is unclassified. Last Episode when.

Nasu's gonna pull a gotcha and have Nrvnqsr appear in the eventual Far Side routes, I'm willing to bet.
Or maybe he's saving him for a future work. The dude might be an iconic antagonist, but in hindsight he's kinda too big of a deal to be a offed so early in the story.
If Nrvnqsr gets completely replaced by Fire Man, are we going to change the forum's name and url?
it seems that I now actually have to steer clear from the spoiler thread
Call me 想φαγω.

Easier to remember.
are you not entertained, is this not why you're here
I can't wait for my copy to arrive. I literally can't.
T minus ten hours until this:
waku waku
I thought we saw Nrvnqsr in a trailer already?
Edit: June trailer

We just saw some black beast (I think it was a cat?) and people assumed it was him.
Theres a scene similar to the time Shiki first sees him too iirc.
I just think he's been upgraded threat wise rather being the first thing we meet.

maybe him dying so early was enough of a justification to rename the chapters?
Dying early or not, it's kinda strange for there to not be a single chapter called "black beast" if that's the case. Assuming he's in, it would mean he's enough of a non-presence to not even have that honor.
Okay, so, hear me out.
The trophies list two scenes called Endless Stone and Endless Stone (R). You gain a trophy by finishing either of those, and they're not worded as chapters like the other trophies. In the original VN, Endless Stone was the name of the last scene of Ciel's route, where Shiki runs into Arc and chooses to submit to her (good ending) or refuse (true ending).
I'm guessing that those are some kind of hidden scenes, which you can get from either Arc or Ciel's route if you make a set of very specific choices. It's probably similar to the events of the original. Maybe it's the hidden goofy harem ending, I dunno.
So Blazing Blood River is likely to replace The Black Beast chapter.
If there's no Nrvnqsr, curious how the proper introduction between Shiki and Arcueid are going to be like. Having them just talking normally without staving off some vampiric hounds feels... dull? And I don't see the fire guy having any familiars that can look normal to public, at least not the will-o-the-wisp fire attacks.
inb4 they're gonna pull something like "fireman and nrvnqsr are friends so nrvnqsr lent some beasts to him. shiki and arc fight and kill fireman, beast looks at shiki and goes 'mmm... interesting' before disappearing into the night" bam, sequel hook.
We saw Arc fighting a big black jaguar in the alley in a trailer, so even if Nrvnqsr isn't here that still happens for some reason.
At this point I think they just redesigned him. That'd surely make up for the lack of Jouji Nakata :^)
So it's potentially unchanged, despite the change of chapter's name. Rewatching the trailers, looks like there are also ghouls involved. And it seems the fire guy is going to appear more in Ciel's route.
Nah clearly Nrvnqsr was Jouji's PC and they're retiring him to honor the guy's faithful years of service
don't quote me on this
