I could see Volume 4 having significantly less action and fights than Volume 3, simply because Volume 3 was the tournament arc. You kind of need fighting to set the scene for the tournament, even if it's not strictly plot related. I imagine Volume 4's fight scenes will be spaced farther apart, but individually more significant.

I would love to see the overall tone be more reflective and sombre in Volume 4, though. So far, RWBY has been tonally either goofy and light-hearted, or complete despair and anguish and pain, with very little middle-ground in between. Something more similar to the "Red" and "White" Trailers, with that sort of melancholy mood to them, would be the perfect way for them to go in Volume 4.
