In several interviews, it's been stated that Team JNPR is no longer a team of side characters, they are main characters as well. The show is called RWBY yes, but that does not mean that the show's namesake has to be on screen the entire time. I for one greatly enjoyed the Jaunedice arc and found it refreshing. While yes, they are adding around 10 to 15 new characters, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to be major characters. For example, I doubt we're going to get a lot of focus on Junior, or Melanie and Milita; nor Mercury and his counterpart (currently called Turquoise). These are minor villians in comparsion to Roman and Cinder, and the antagonistical view we have of Team CRDL. While yes, it does appear we'll see different teams from the different locations in Vale or perhaps all of Remnant, i.e. Velvet's team, and two other teams from other schools that I won't mention; I doubt it will change the dynamic of the show. Longer episodes means more time to work on everything, and with eight months of off-season; I'm very confident that RWBY will be more technologically advanced in terms of textures, character designs, and movements; as well as being far more story driven.
