Second of all, maybe they didn't replace them (or at elast is what SE says), but they did show viera first, and for many ppl male viera were replaced by hrotgar.
Not to mention that while there was a demand for beast races, it was no where near as big as the demand for viera, with BOTH genders, and as you can tell by this thread ppl wanted an actual race that was more beast like, not 1 gender of a race that was more beastlike
I can tell you, I'd never play a male Roe (definitely would play a female Roe though, they're pretty cool) but I'm extremely excited to fantasia to male Hrothgar. Were female Hrothgar a thing, I'd most likely play one over male Hrothgar.
Also, they showed female Viera first as Hrothgar were not in a playable/displayable state at that time. They said that Hrothgar were just barely ready on time for Tokyo Fanfest (where they were revealed), meanwhile the Viera model had been ready since 4.5, which they also said was extremely limited at the time they put it out and was barely ready. I understand some people are disappointed by how they went about it w/ the female Viera reveal and telling people to wait until the next Fanfest, but you can't replace what was never promised in the first place.
