RWBY Vol.5 Directors's Commentary Notes Basically a summarized explanation of what they said in them. Not sure how precise this is exactly, but there's some interesting stuff in here:

>"They had to do a huge cut this volume. They were going to introduce an additional character and storyline. But due to the other things happening this volume, they decided to cut it. Hint that this character will be coming up very soon (possibly in the next volume)"

>"(The Albains) were originally in V1, who were trying to sabotage the Emerald Forest trials by buying some liquid Grimm to make a monster" (V1 was such an alpha).

>"Oz purposely appointed a faunus as a headmaster as a way to get people to try to accept faunus". Hence why he's so meh; he was chosen purely for "DIVERSITY :D".

''>"Jaune is still a fly to Cinder, yet he has thought about her every day since the fall of Beacon." ''Fallen Knight confirmed. See? I told you guys these two were perfect for each other.

>"Almost every person on the team worked on the Cinder vs. Raven fight". That explains everything.

>"The set with the relic was meant to feel like a place that doesn’t really exist in this world (it’s not Remnant). They will get into what that place is later." (In Vol.10)

>"There’s still a lot of things that need to be sorted out, they just wanted to take a moment to show the team together again". Meaning that the whole stuff like Yang instantly forgiving Blake was done just to pander to the base, and now we'll get drama in Vol.6 that won't make as much sense now because of it.

>"We will learn what the relic does next volume."
