Letter from the Producer LXII

[zeylos]

But Yoshi P did say they had no reference for male Viera to work with. And if they were to make it, they would still have to consult with Matsuno, since it's going to be an official design of male Viera.

Female viera were changed a lot too, and I don't really think SE cares about that kind of things. Also, au rain also didn't have any reference yet we have them. Same with hrotgar (arguably Ronson, but that's just one face)

How did female Viera change? They still resemble their XII appearance. As for Au ra, they don't need a reference since it's an XIV exclusive race. They can make it up however they wanted. In Hrothgar's case, there are those that still didn't like that they don't look like kimahri's body shape (because a reference existed and they didn't make them similar to it). Which brings us back to male Viera, since they're not XIV exclusive race, they need a reference for that (Yoshi P stated that).
