Kinda makes sense for Blake to be French since she's based on Belle from Beauty and the Beast, a French fairy tale

[@AnimeIsArt21]

@@Gordan1Freeman3 Yes I love the fact that the idea of the faunus having a unique accent helps separate them. Of course not all faunus have to be french but it's a welcome addition. To Jett um no, I created my main OC Acid to basically fix everything wrong with Blake. Blake's entire life is white fang and faunus discrimination. At the end of the Black trailer, she could of gone to her parents, to Sienna but instead thinks shes going to change the world by becoming a huntress. The problems with that is 1) theres been other faunus huntsmen and they didnt change shit and 2) shes surposely RAN from Adam but she doesnt leave Vale where Adam has control over faunus radicals and being at beacon shes in the limelight not hidden....so no canon Blake has zero thought behind her canon motivation. This French Blake specifically adds things shes aiming for and as a refugee teacher she can influence that. In part it also comes down to how this Remnants handle Sun, Ilia, Sienna and Adam in the future.

As a French person, I am totally in love with Blake accent x) He is not too much, just perfect ! Also I love her personality, you can really understand her motivation and the voice acting as well as the art is great !

[@ionga]

As a writer, I must say you did a fantastic job in conveying Blake's personality by using just her body language and HOW she speaks. The small changes like her ears dropping when she mentions being part of the Faunus Refugee Program. Without having her just go and say her personality everyone already understands she's somehow socially awkward and hates to be put on the spotlight like that. Seriously, it's much harder than most people think to do the "show, don't tell" rule, which is why we normally end up with things being just said because it's much easier, and less engaging. But here none of that was done and now I completely get this version of Blake. Once again, congratulations to the REMNANTS team for doing such a great job. I hope to see the same level of quality in your next updates. Edit: Forgot to congratulate the voice actresses for doing such an amazing job, Mars in special, as her Blake was incredibly well done and overall an amazing performance.

...Oh, yeah, her fairytale basis IS French, isn't it... This is absolutely incredible, the expression and character shown off here is astounding. The slow animation pace actually really sells the emotion far better, it feels like the old storybook style Disney used to go for. RWBY was always based on our worlds legends and stories, but it sometimes felt... shoehorned in, ya know? This on the other hand feels far more natural. I am immersed like never before. You had my interest with your talk of rewrites, you got my attention with the announcement of Remnants... ..and now, you have my active support. Behind you all the way.

[@rygornspectre7142]

"Actions may speak louder than words but words lead to greater actions." Without even looking at them, without even looking at the screen I already know what kind of a person each of them are through just their voices alone. Also I love it when a team is made of different accents, it just adds to their chemistry.

[@robno1033]

This is really freaking good! Didn't notice her accent was french! I really like how these characters have either accents or have naming conventions pronounced the same as their place of origin. I know some say that fantasy doesn't need to abide by these rules, but from what I've seen of Remnants that extra detail just gives so much extra spice to the characters and world. I also really like this Blake's personality, She's more immediately relatable and right away shows a touching side that helps the audience feel comfortable. Also props to the actress of conveying this sense of shyness, but mixed in with determination near the end. Speaking of which, I really like that Blake is an orphan hear, which helps us sympathize with her goals, as well as her struggles as a faunas. I no the original RWBY decided to subvert expectations with having Blake be the one with a healthy family, but the issue is that immediately puts a lot of her actions and goal into question from a meta standpoint, especially with the resurgence of criticism regarding the White Fang arc as of recent. Ever since I started watching an anime called Jujutsu Kaisen, I realized that stories don't need to feel obligated to subvert expectations, but instead should prioritize what works best for the stories and characters; then work on the execution. Blake being an orphan here is kinda similar to that, it's expected, but it definitely works better than any other background. Speaking of background, I really like the little lore drops regarding locations, factions, sieges, and also something that I was pleasantly surprised by... financial programs! A big part of higher education for many is getting help from financial programs, scholarships, etc... As a college student I love this little detail, that Blake had to use these programs to attend the academy. I honestly can't wait for the rest. Though I do have one question, do Faunas still only have one body part like the original, or can they have at least up to two parts?

[@spidervenom25]

I really love this version of Blake. The whole fish out of water element enhances her impact and the way she speaks, while shy can still be filled with force and fire for what she wants. The animation is also excellent, the design is spot on and her showing her ears feels more appropriate. The ear movement is just spot on golden, even with out the sound you can still infer so much from them. Loved hearing the different members of the team talking and how much Ruby tried to encourage Blake it was so sweet. Amazing job and I can't wait to see more.

We now have a real reason to care about the actions of these characters and the consequences that they might struggle with. I will say, I was not expecting an actual accent from any of the characters, it definitely took me by surprise. However, after that first shock went away, it actually makes sense for Blake to be french. It's a nice change of pace and I like it.
