No one asked for Au Ra yet we got them instead of Viera. Didn't see the game crash and burn or get negatively impacted at all. And Au Ra are a popular race. Stormblood didn't add any race, still continued its success doing even better than Heavensward.

People are still getting the version of Viera that was overwhelmingly asked for, considering no male viera has ever been shown before. Anyone asking for male viera was doing so based on an imaginary idea/concept of them.
