As I pointed out in the other thread, I'll repeat it here:

Just a note, that translation is not quite correct. What Yoshida said was that about 3 months after 4.0, they decided to implement Hrothgar. But they also wanted to make Viera. So the choice was between making female Hrothgar, or making female Viera. Meaning if they hadn't decided to make the female Viera, all we would have gotten would have been male and female Hrothgar.

Nothing against OP's post... just wanted to point out the poor translation of quoted passage.


Just so you know how I know that, I live in Japan and am fluent in Japanese.
