I even find 5.1-3 very unlikely due to how time and cost intensive developing a model is. Even Fran didn't show up until 5.5 and they already had a base for her model from XII:TZA. If they were to show a male Viera (although my money's on teasing a female Hrothgar) earlier, I'd guess it'd be closer to how Yugiri got introduced: as a modified skeleton from another race but fully covered in cloth/armor. We may even be introduced to the Hroth Queen this way, with a veil covering her head.
