Yeah, having a chosen one is kind of cliche in the sense that it makes the story too humdrum (if that's the way to call). Like, no matter how bad things look or how strong the enemy can be, at the end, Ruby will save the day one way or another as we always watch in animes like Soul Eater where the final battles and the dramas can be really stupid. It's like if they threw everything else away and said: "She has to win" and then, epic courage punch anti-bad guy saves the day.

I don't want that for Ruby or any of the characters, I want to see them beating the bad guys and saving the day via taking the first step like Ozpin said instead of: She's Summer Rose child, she's destinated to be the one to defeat the evil Grimm and save the world!

RWBY has yet to show us some real action and drama. So far, we only saw classic scenarios like the "two girls who will eventually become the best friends in the series" fighting during their first days together or the "development for the weak character via the most cliche idea ever: a bully".

The two final episodes were the best so far because it finally involved the backgrounds and the bad guys and introduced two new characters who gain their places in the story with only two episodes like Ren and Nora. That's, hopefully, what we are waiting for Vol. 2
