The first interview, if I recall.

Josh: That's definitely the best way to go about it, ya know, so speaking of this story, is, I haven't seen, I know you guys have still not released the wider stuff but is there gonna be, what can you say about, maybe a primary villain, a primary antagonist, group or anything about any of that?

Monty: Well, we have put it out there that they all band together to fight something, that's, that's a given, some people, I've seen some speculation about who versus who and it'll make a lot more sense when you see them all side by side they look like a team, they look, like they belong together, that obviously connotes some kind of antagonist which is [Josh: Of course] ya know, very important. We have, we have actually some, for example the main antagonist for me has been a character in my mind again for the longest time but now we have a name for her, now we have a design for her, it, it's the sort of thing that, it's a sort of thing that'll probably be long running, I can't say for how long, but as a series we have hopes for a very extended story that's very...for a long time that's the most I can say about that, but also one of the things we've tried to mention as often as possible is that, much like, like many animes, the team members of each, and not just Team RWBY, we have multiple teams and multiple acronyms who all go to a school, where they learn, where they alter their preferences to fight against said evil. So, like [Josh: Alright, that's interesting] Many good reasons for doing that, so you'll see certain characters standing beside certain characters, who have no relation otherwise in their own mythology, some might be Greek, or, or Japanese and then, you have, something that be a fairy tale and things, ya know, we've seen thus far, the most important thing is that they, they all, they all work together honestly. There's a lot of diversity, in fact we have, a lot of characters, and it's been months in the working, and for me years working on it honestly, perhaps even the last ten, fifteen years for me for a lot of these characters, but getting them to be relevant to their role in the plot has been, several months now, me and Miles and Kerry writing these scripts and them especially doing the lions share of all just making sure it all works and I just, I just sit over them and govern what happens to, and who meets who etcetera and a lot of the best ideas come from just a lot of the script writing.
