Yoshi-P considering feedback on the new races

[VillainQueen]

Considering how development works, there is a strong possibility that there are already 'basic' (but incomplete) male viera models. What I would assume is to be the likeliest of cases is that somewhere through development of Viera they stopped and switched to Hrothgar. The thinking, probably, was whether people would just want Male/Female Viera as the final race, or two races that are genderlocked (with the thinking that Male Viera and Female Hrothgar would not be popular choices anyways). I think they gambled that people wanted more races, even if gender locked.

No not really. They decided to do the Hrothgar before the female Viera and even the models we have seen were just finished. So while it could've been possible that someone did a prototype male model at some point. The Viera were an afterthought and we only got the female one because we wanted them so much. That's why we have this, not fully pleasing anyone, compromise now.
