Newest Trailer for RWBY Black

[Basement Cat]

So a female version of a combination of Squall from Final Fantasy 8 and Yuna from Final Fantasy 10-2 teams up with a version of Vergil from DMC3...

I'm not familiar with either but I find it interesting that this trailer broadens the possible story line away from all the girls being single operatives. I wonder if Yellow will also have a partner or a team.

Unlike apparently everyone else here this was my favorite trailer. The first was nothing but a cliche anime girl slaughtering mobs of mooks with a ridiculously large weapon she pulled out of her g-string. The second was more interesting in that it suggested White lives/exists in 2 worlds simultaneously.

This trailer offered the first tell tale signs of an actual "Story".

Also I liked the music here more than the other two.

Lessee, that's me vs 21 other posts...

...

Come at me, Bros!

I really liked the visuals, and the combat animations made me pretty excited. I went on to check out the previous two trailers, and they collectively gave me a Sucker Punch vibe, a movie I personally enjoyed.

The voice acting wasn't really great, unless they were going for the authentically bad dub..

 

[Mrkillhappy]

This one loses points for the weak dub but the action and enemy design in this trailer is by far the best of the three.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

It looks as good as the other trailers, but the voice acting just sounds... awful.

I REALLY hope that the acting improves for the series proper... I'm in love with the art style and animation. I really am. It'd be a shame if the voices just ruined it.

Also, a cool effect I noticed: as Blake speeds around the battlefield, she leaves afterimages behind, which makes it seem really... I dunno, speedy.

 

[Risingblade]

I feel like I should be impressed but it feels so meh kinda lame too idk I just don't find it as good as the previous ones.

 

[WanderingFool]

A sword holster that is a gun that shoots swords but still also shoots bullets.

That was my review.

Samual did it first. Or at least the idea of using a gun to fire the sword out.

Actually, I got a very MGR vibe from this trailer. Half expected Raiden to show up...

 

[Comrade Richard]

I feel like all the hype from the trailer is giving me a bad vibe; I hope no one takes offense to this but it just feels like there is such a thing as there being too much action, thus far, it seems like that's all they're focusing on. I'm familiar with the creator's work (Dead Fantasy, his segments in RvB, the Samus and Spartan battle) and he's always struck me as a bit flashy but light on substance. It's like bars of chocolate; sure, eating a lot of bars may seem appetizing initially but you get ill if you eat too many which makes most people stop. Likewise too many awesometacular fight scenes and things just start running together - I already have a feeling I'm going to fail to be invested in the series proper if this is all they're going to offer.

EDIT: Also, yeah, forgot to mention the voice acting. I pretty much agree with everyone else considering it felt really awkward IMO.

I'll take your jet-stream Sam and raise you a Gai Rei Zero...
Anyway, the more I watch, the more I see the shows anime and videogame influences. The characters are from BRS, the weapons are from FF, and the combat is an insane mix of ninja gaiden and DmC.
This creates some truly awesome fights, but I worry for the story...

 

[ZeoAssassin]

yeah this ones the weakest of the 3 so far. I get the impression they rushed it out a bit to meet the PAXEast deadline or something. Since there was like 3-4 months between Red and White and what...maybe 1 month since white?

It still looks good but didn't really impress me like the other 2 did. Blake's weapon seems less streamlined then the Scythe-Rifle or Magic-Rapier. So its a double-sword-gun-on-a-rope-thing...not as flashy as the others, ESPECIALLY when the katana/gun-sheath from the other dude over shadows it.

And yeah the voice acting is meh, but that just supports the "this was rushed" thing

 

[Shocksplicer]

Still yet to see anything at all regarding RWBY (Worst title ever by the way) that interests me in the slightest. A standalone series made primarily by Monty Oum, the man who ruined Red Vs Blue? No thanks.

 

[Zhukov]

Oh God. Dialogue. Also, voice acting.

Also, I have a question:

WHAT IS IT?

Am I looking at the trailers for an anime or a hack-and-slash game? Or something else?

 

[DoPo]

Am I looking at the trailers for an anime or a hack-and-slash game? Or something else?

Yes, I think you guessed correctly. Or to be more precise, it's going to be some sort of series that takes heavy hints from anime and from fighting games and...that's all I know about it. The creator's previous works include Haloid [http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/nd19nu/metroid-prime-haloid] (Halo vs Metroid) and the Dead Fantasy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIy5Q3EB6ec] series (Dead or Alive vs Final Fantasy). I think they aren't a huge deal different from RWBY (ok, trailers alone) it just leans more towards video games. RWBY, from what I know, is supposed to also have stuff like plot.

Ah, that would explain why I guess I didn't like it, I wasn't a fan of Haloid, and this just didn't click for me.

 

[Kopikatsu]

That was...kinda shit compared to the previous two.

The music was meh
The voice acting was just...bad...

and why was the guy taking the spotlight from black? The previous two could stand on their own but Black needed backup for some reason?

Because it's Beauty and the Beast.

To be totally honest, I expected Black to have an evil side and that would be beast, but even this duo wasn't wholly unexpected.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

White is still my favorite trailer.

Black's voice actor was pretty good, but the mask guy's sounds like a bad abridged voice actor.

 

[FalloutJack]

I liked it, though...one thing stuck out in my head: "MAN he looked like that guy from Katanagatari...".
