This trailer makes me confused how Ruby's Semblance even works anymore. Then again, I guess this is just to add flare to the trailer.
This is something what came to mind from somewhere else. There was one guy who sort of said in a comment "how much unique can they keep [Yang's] fighting style with only 1 arm." And I was like "More unique than having two arms?". And it did make me wonder if in a hypothetical fighting game there were multiple versions for certain characters.
Only sometimes postsThis isn't the first time Ruby's Semblance has had the visual flair of being wrapped up in her cloak and becoming a silky, red ballistic missile.

Yeah, I blame that on lack of Monty. Nobody has his gift for fight scenes, so they're making due the best they can.
As for why Ruby's semblance is so much better, I imagine it's the result of eight months traveling on foot, fighting Grim all the while.
edit: damn, this page moves fast all the sudden. I was referring to one guy's post that Ruby's new moves lacked the conservation of inertia they used to, and another guy wondering how her semblance got so much stronger.

Comparing Berserk 2016 to RWBY's new look is like comparing The Asylum to Pixar. I.E, the new look of RWBY is easily better then Berserk 2016 by miles.
Watch SymphogearSo I thought I wanted to make Ruby's new costume, but I have a few issues.
- Too Many Belts. It's like she's a Final Fantasy character now.
- Her blouse has quite a large keyhole opening on the front, which isn't really practical for me.
Two belts are too many for me, but that might be because I think anime costuming is generally stupid.
But RWBY's never made a secret of the fact that its characters dress more for flair than function. Hell, that's part of the benefit of having an actual f*cking Hit Points system in the universe: defense is dependent entirely on Aura so pragmatic armor can go right out the window.
And the other wardrobe issues can just be quietly ignored when they're not making hilarious jokes about Ruby's cape in Chibi.

.... ahhh, okay. So it was my first thought (too small) as opposed to my second one. Got it. Thank you for clarifying.

So, other then the trailer being pretty hype and of high quality in terms of visuals, there's one thing we could see more clearly...
Ren looks even prettier than ever with his hair free of ponytail.
Nora with slightly longer hair is both cute and hot, plus she seems to be wearing some kind of jacket and her heart cleavage is a bit torn up.
Jaune has big ol' eyebrows and his face seems to be somewhat manlier, and he appears to wear some sort of bronze shoulder guard on his left arm (that or Akouo), showing Pyrrha's influance on him.

Who's that gorgeous new lady? And what did they do with Ren?
Also, I see they got CCTS back online.

- Black the Beast descends from shadows
- Yellow Beauty burns gold.
That said, the Adam parallel is also pretty clear. And no, he doesn't have a name in the original faerie tale, but Disney named him Adam and they tend to be the go-to source for pop culture references.

I have two complaints about the trailer:
The new artstyle, while looking good, is making me think of the clips I've seen of Berserk (2016). And that looks like shit. This makes me scared for what the rest of the Season will look like.
Ruby's scything. He semblance-use is great, but it feels like she's lost a lot of her momentum-conservation.
