Just do both ideas. The "hack and slash, same mechanics different playstyle" idea that everyone apparently agrees unconsciously that it's the best idea for RWBY, but with special missions that could have different gameplay.

Those special missions could be small challenges with unique gameplay, like in Injustice. Be more normal challenges with the typical gameplay, like in most other games. Or both available.

As for what they would be about, likely minor or secondary things that don't have anything to do with the present plot but still would be interesting, such as Blake's training or one of her missions, some training set up by Qrow for Ruby, Weiss learning Dust Alchemy, or Yang doing push ups.
