World / In Universe As is:

• 4 Continents: Vale, Vacuo, Mantle, Mistral
• 4 Schools: Beacon – Vale, Mantle – Atlas, Mistral – Haven, Vacuo — They didn’t say straight out. Oasis? Shade? The gist was something used to hide from the sun.
• We will at the very least be seeing Vacuo later – possibly going there as part of the story
• They again mentioned Menagerie, but didn’t specify quite what it was
• Sun’s team is pronounced as “SUN” – assuming “SSSN” is correct order
• Human / Faunus can breed together “Maybe we’ve already seen them” – Monty
• Faunus are not limited to just mammalian kinds. “There’s definitely a rarity to things” – Kerry
• “Sometimes faunus traits aren’t super apparent”
• “Is dust a limited resource?” – Possibly to become a plot point. Possibly hinted at in RWBY History lesson. Dust is definitely mined.
• How does Ruby’s weapon attach to her? – Magnets
• The Old Dust Guy is always happy
• Are semblances hereditary? “I think they can be similar” – Monty. Hinted at the representation of a semblance being influenced by your upbringing, perhaps
• Moon will be important at some point
• There are other types of schools besides those for hunters/huntresses. Hinting of them appearing at end of volume 2, possibly as police / military training, Hunter academies “cream of the crop”
• hazleapricot’s take on Blake: “Obsessed with getting done what she wants to get done.” 
• “Cinder is older than most of the kids we see on Team RWBY and at Beacon” – Miles. Still likened her to being like a senior in age — probably early 20’s?
• “Does religion exist in the world of RWBY?” — Yes, but it may or may not be discussed, may or may not be different from our world’s
• “Do other animal species have an aura?” – Yes
• Juane labeling his shoes is a totally canon thing

Notes about the Production

• Neptune was originally slated to be on a different team. He was swapped out with a different “N” so that he could be used now.
• Monty was inspired to come up with team combos from watching The Hobbit
• Juane’s symbol appears to be deliberately hidden from showing what it really is. Or they were fucking with us – Gray at least said that at some point, he saw it unobstructed and was surprised.
• Continent shapes — Monty squirted ketchup onto a napkin and bunched it up. Everything looking like dragons is a coincidence
• There will be another history lesson (Possibly another Q&A?) after Chapters 7 and 10. Each of these will be a break after a particular arc or section.
• They mentioned something about the “Inspiration for Weiss’ agility”, but then didn’t really continue the topic
• Kerry recorded Neptune before he did any recording for Palomo in RvB12
• Arryn guesses that Blake uses her cat ears for actual listening.
• It seemed like they haven’t 100% finalized a name for Cinder’s group. “CREM” may still be the right ballpark
• From what they said, there may be further Juane/Neptune interaction in the future. or maybe Kerry and Miles were just talking about trading spots in the booth.
• Original plan was to have 2 Volumes to a season, with a shorter break between. At this point, for all intents and purposes a volume IS THE SAME as a season.
• On Neo – “There came a need for Torchwick to have a right hand woman.” – Monty
• Production for Volume 2 began December 5, 2013
• Principal Animation for Volume 2 began in March (at the very least, that’s when the last of the animators came on board)
• On easter eggs: Dude with glasses on White Fang mask (“Keep looking for that” — not sure of meaning), and a “Free bird” / “Freebirds” guy
• From Dustin — There is added boob jiggle this season because they are now using an actual / new physics engine. from RAW, the results or ludicrous. They are working on toning it down.
• Daniel — Loves working in the sound of bowling pins striking (Ch. 1)

DVDs / Merch / Misc.

• Gray says that 1v1, Torchwick would beat Locus. He would not win against Locus and Felix working together.
• RTX 2014 RWBY panel likely included on BluRay extra features. Possibly also 2013 one.
• A lot of RT merchandise is currently on hold because of dock worker strikes on the west coast. This is why the Yang figurine came so late.
• So far 4 planned DVD commentary tracks for volume 4 – Creative Team, Animation team, Technical team, Cast
• Several Animators talked about wanting a Penny plush. Gray spoke several times about setting up a poll for desired Merch

• Joel – Newest animator, worked Ch. 5 on so we haven’t seen his work yet

• Joe – Cafeteria scene, possibly the White Fang rally?
• Ian: Ch 3,7,9,11, sequence inside the Communication Tower
