This seems rather speculative to say that they must have intended to make four, but realized before they could promise anything that it wouldn't be possible. Part of your reasoning is that the other three were animated well in their scenes, therefore they must have been meant to be doing something else? That...seems the opposite to me. If they had looked poorly done, then it would look more like a poorly added afterthought. Personally, I think the scenes of the three girls did a decent job of hinting at their mental states.

Finally, I agree with Gastropod. It's poor behavior to grumble about not getting more, especially since "more" was never indicated. We should appreciate what we got.

1. Animated well, But not storyboarded well... we haven't a clue what exactly Blake, Yang, or Weiss are doing, nor do the scenes indicate much of anything... they might as well have been left out for as much as they are worth, Which is why I think they were part of a larger storyboard that was cut far shorter than intended... whether that be a single longer cut, another trailer, or three more... perhaps not, but I don't think we can discount the possibility.

Look at what RT has been going for with it's press for this season, updating to Maya and trying to show they still have "Rule of Cool", that this is the same RWBY only better. If they could have done 4 trailers... don't you think they would have? There is no reason to copy an artistic feat in honor of a friend only to half(quarter)-ass it

Personally I'm wondering if they might do a new W, B, or Y Short for the next 3 Volumes Trailers(or hopefully also the mid-season hiatus). If we do get the Weiss/Yang focus RT indicated(not promised), it would make sense to start with Weiss and Yang's trailers only after we see their new, as-yet unseen capabilities as they break from their figurative fetters, so if they are developed the most this season aside from Ruby... it could make great sense seeing their trailers mid-season and before the next season, rather than now(although it's way too early to see much reason for only one before next season other than to not make too much pre-season work for RT).

2. We all agree on this. It is poor form to demand or whine or have expected 4 trailers "had" to happen.
