Also, Yoshida didn't dislike male viera, he disliked the idea of them being too 'cute' - that's why the concept art in HW didn't look 'cute' they were tall and muscular with stern faces. And that concept art along with the others was also shown which also included male Viera. That to me speaks as if he's already talked to the other creators of tactics/ff12 - they already have ideas on what the male should look like.

It honestly would make zero sense to put forward the idea of Viera as a new race back in HW; then go 'nah, let's not'. The lore hasn't changed since then regarding Viera yet they still made the male concept art and said they wouldn't have just female without a male.
