As far as what SE said, male Hrothgar and male Viera are exactly the same, only giving us one goes back on the precedence set when they removed genderlocks while the other is in line with it and therefore made more sense to people.
Big difference being that Hrothgar are an entirely different race. Showing them at another fan fest is not surprising in the least; it would be the same old drip fed hype. I mean, they have talked about things before when they weren't quite ready in time for like a proper teaser (I think they did it for pvp or something). When they showed Au ra, it was both males and females at the same time, that they would only show only the female viera now and then the males later would be very strange, especially since they didn't want to comment on the males.
