But there are things that we know just can't be done in the show, like use Semblances without Aura. That excuse just doesn't work DE. Besides, some of those lore-related issues are too big for just simple Gameplay and Story Segregation.

Ruby using her Semblance in a cutscene and looking perfectly fine despite being with almost no HP and her Aura being down seconds before in-game? Can be forgiven.

Weiss using her Semblance without Aura despite the show saying such thing can't be done because Semblance=Aura? That is different, and not in a good way.
