From what I heard there will be fewer episodes, but each one will be about 12 minutes long, as well as some extras around mid-season; from what I heard that is.

I also agree that the show has had a small problem with predictability (Jaune not getting into Beacon with his own skill, Blake being a Faunus, pretty much the entire Cardin/Jaune arc; I mean everyone knew by the end he would stand up to him but they didn't need 4 episodes to do it, especially after RWBY finally started working as a team and Weiss started acting nice, but then when we focus on them again she is back to fighting with a teammate again. But whatever, not like I'm mad or anything...what was I talking about?).
