Let me tell you something: An open world where you're given the freedom to create your own world and life and story basically means there's no story at all. It's RWBY without the plot (or after the main quests are finished, only the freedom to do more pointless side quests and explore the WONDROUS LANDSCAPE - oh c'mon let's be serious).

There seldom are many people who could make side quests interesting, and a RWBY must be very story-focused. This literally means that all post-game side quests MUST involve storylines that we can relate and enjoy just as much as the main quests. And that's not easy at all.
