Honestly his comments aren't moot at all. He explained many years ago how he would go about putting blue mage in the game and it's exactly how he said he would implement it all that time ago. He certainly allowed the team to work on concepts for male viera but by his own admission those didn't convince him.

So while it's true he could have been given a concept he'd like since then there's been zero proof of it, and arguably evidence against it as there's little reason for them to split up showing off both genders during the initial announcement. Even the trailer for them and announcement was done in a way as if that was the whole race.
