So, RWBY video game...

I've said in the past I don't like the idea of it being a RPG where you make your own character, but I have yet to really explain why.

Here we go(cracks knuckles)

If the story is based on your character, not team RWBY, you would have to limit the involvement of the cast of the show. Sure, they can be supporting characters that help you out and stuff, but that's it. The tital characters are supporting characters in their own game. It really annoyed me when that happened to Rayman. And don't you want to play as the main characters? When I complain about wanting to play as Nora, some of you have brought up that you could customize your character to have the same fighting styl. But that's not what I want, I want Nora specifically. I want to be the one who cheerfully fights through hords of Grimm, and doesn't stop moving. As some have mentioned, there could be a mechanic to customize personalities, but that would also be an imitation. And this isn't just about Nora, this is about all the characters.

Now, I don't have a problem with games like this. This sort of game can be really good, I just don't think it would work here. The fun and lovable characters are one of the best things about RWBY, in my opinion, and it would be a crime not to bring that into the game
