I'm not even limiting it to this forum, I'm saying "people who bother to talk about this game online".

First a leaker who got everything right says Viera are coming ... then says not just Viera but a 2nd new race are a coming (strongly hints at the 2nd being lion/ ronso like). This happens months before Viera are revealed by SE and it spread across the webs like fire. People already start talking about "gender lock" because how else are we getting 2 new races?

Sure, you could simply "believe" at that point or not. But then 10 days after the Viera reveal Hrothgar are leaked in the French Dub, right with Viera. How did I personally find out about this? In a discord ... for Eureka. It pops up on reddit and makes it's way here with a 14 page thread that split off from a gender lock thread because to many people it was clear from the Viera reveal that males were not coming.

So yeah, if you're on this forum actively you would have known about Hrothgar shortly after Viera as that was a legit in game screw up that came to light.



"All those people who wanted a beast race" weren't all that many people. .
Uhhh, no.
I am someone who has been screaming for Viera for as long as I've been playing this game. The ONLY request I've seen that isn't Viera and is close to as requested as Viera are "beastly races". Lupin, Ronso, Burmecian and so on. And I as well as many other Viera fans would shut them down because no way SE would make a beastly race. Many people wanted it but thought it was unlikely to happen because of the nature of this game's aesthetics.

And your logic makes no sense ... people didn't want a beast race but NOW want a beast race female? Wut?
