Reminds me of fatmanfalling's infamous 90-minute RWBY reviews, in which he points out that the fact that Pyrrha seems to act in that especially kind, thoughtful manner around everyone kind of devalues her character. I can't remember the exact wording of his argument, but I recall him saying that he initially thought she listened to Jaune when she did exclusively because she was in love with him (such as when the pair went into the clearly dangerous Death Stalker cave together), and that part turned out to be true, but the writer's admission that she acts that way all the time anyway diminishes the impact of these scenes and makes her seem dumb for not suggesting that Jaune might possibly be wrong about the cave.
 * Pyrrha can't express her feelings because she's always acting nice around everyone so it leads Jaune to think her attitude around him is nothing special. Nora consciously hides her feelings for Ren like how her catchphrase is Boop which means I love you but only she knows that.

But I digress. I get what you mean about the similarities between Arkos and Renora/Sloth/Noren/whateveridon'tknowanymore. Who knows, maybe there will be aspects of it that are distinguished from Arkos in the future, but at the moment, the two ships are rather distressingly similar. The numerous songs on the Volume 2 soundtrack about Jaune and Pyrrha could be sung about Nora and Ren without needing to make too many lyrical changes.
