Independently on whether the scene was real or not, you cannot say people were expecting an exact Yang-palette swap. Qrow wasn't almost surprised at all when Oscar asked for Ozpin's cane, because he knew about Ozpin's mind/soul jump.

To put it in contrast with how I reacted to every post-credit scene from each volume, it just didn't surprise me as much.

Volume 1: "Ooooh, so she was his contractor. And ok, you're kinda creepy."

Volume 2: "OMG she looks EXACTLY like Yang, she's her mother PERIOD!"

Volume 3: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME HE CAN MORPH INTO AN ACTUAL CROW!!!"

Volume 4: "Oh, so he knew." I was talking more about impact on the story, which you can't say the volume 2 one had any of. I mean, it was never brought up again and may as well not have happened. The Volume 4 one is two of the most pivotal characters meeting, meaning the story can move forward.

But I can see that you meant the impact on the viewer, I just didn't get that personally because it hinges entirely on the viewer not expecting Raven to be Yang's mother which, to me there was no one else she could have been.

I didn't have the: "OMG she looks like Yang", it was more of a: "Yeah that's about what I expected".
