It probably didn't take the whole 8 months...that's just how much time has passed in general.

Well then I need some 4koma's about what they were doing for those 8 months.

From what this thread says, Miles said "less than a year, more than half a year," 6-8 months since they set off from Patch. Imagine the battles waged and the experience gained within 6-8 months.

It also occurs to me that they did this solely to have a time gap they could fill in with DLC, or a sequel to Grimm Eclipse. The game itself takes place between Volumes 2 and 3.

Got no problem with them taking 6-8 months to travel on old Shanks' pony.

We don't know what transport is like in Vale right now, given the situation, but the gang left furtively, and started their journey outside the kingdom. We have no idea what transport even exists outside the kingdoms or how well defended those transport areas would be (we do know the satellites outside the kingdoms have to be protected from the Grimm, as do the railway lines).

This is Remnant, not real life. The creators of that world think it makes more sense for the kids to hoof instead of going to find an airport or railway station, we're going to need to know as much as them to know if that's stupid or not.

I am wondering what transport was used to get from Patch to the mainland, however.

[up][up]Or...they only hoofed it until they found suitable transportation. We only see the start of the lone Ranjers' journey.

I'm sure there'll be a flashback to show us how they got there...typical anime stuff.

That's what I expect, that's typical Rooster Teeth.

Skipping this far ahead just isn't a good idea if all they're going to say is, "they hoofed it, it was long, nothing happened, end of story." All that tells me is they wanted to get Ruby legal age in some province and to give Jaune facial hair.

There's a couple things to expect.

First is that they get there, then they make some new friends/allies, kill some people, Rwby will get a new robot girlfriend...etc. and they that's when Season book 4 starts.

I'm certainly expecting them to need transport to cross the ocean.

But, seriously, I'm expecting them to be acting almost as 'hitch-hikers'. They'll hoof it where they have to and get other transport where they can manage it. At least they can offer protection services to non-huntsman travellers throughout Remnant, if they have to.

According to the trailer they're just running around saving random villages in the middle of nowhere so they might not even have gotten to Mistral yet.

I'm pretty sure they walked it until the sea though. They probably wanted to walk it for improvement purposes.

THAT... is a fair point. Hadn't considered that. We haven't really gotten a description of Mistral yet, have we. Did they say at RTX that they were actually in Mistral. So we are getting at least some of the journey.

...which still feeds my disbelief it's taken them 6-8 months getting to wherever they are and not being there already, but oh well, external factors - what exactly are they looking for, is the kingdom locked down, are there Grimm blocking their path?

Just made me think of Final Fantasy XV.

Ruby would demand gun turrets on hers. That, too, might explain their ETA.

Depending on how big Remnant is, that journey of theirs could be anywhere from 100 miles from Vale to the ocean near Mistral, to several thousand miles, and then they'd have to cross the ocean, then they'd either have to walk around the big inland sea on Mistral's continent, or cross that sea to get to Mistral.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if they got to Mistral in two years by just walking [lol]

Edit: Like, look at this map. Look at the distance between Vale and Mistral. That is a far distance to walk.

[up][up]And they're not starting from the star marked Vale. They're starting from that little island due west of it.


That map agrivates me. Rooster Teeth needs to make an official, sell-it-in-the-shop map.

In a completely random note, RWBY now has around 15k fanfics in Fanfiction.net, making it the series with 23rd most fanfics in Anime section.

I don't know why, but I find it so amusing.
