I was going based off an interview, since they had wanted to launch Viera all the way back in Heavensward, had models, concepts etc. But of course never announced it until the reveal for Shadowbringers when the race was finally being brought into the game.

I'm still eager to find a source of them considering it though, I've read their twitters, and only way one could even think of thinking them considering it is if they used google translate which does very poorly in translating japanese.

For people not understanding how it works, makes them happy surely. But it's literally a two hour job at most per race. Simple rigging the mesh to the models one by one, culling model mesh for the heels, and a simply UV map tweak for clarity. Hence why some thought it lazy since the exact same mesh as the females, nothing changed just rigged to the male mesh form. Glad others got what they wanted though.
