Yeah but I think this is the core of the issue. While they were trying to appease two groups, I think it ended up making more problems. Now you have people wanting the opposite sex counterpart. And why not? Why shouldnt female players get a female beast girl if they want one? Why shouldnt male players get a jungle bunny boy? Lore reasons arent good enough, particularly if we know the devs decision was more to do with work load limitations.

Im still of the mindset they couldve done both if they got creative. More male viera have the body type of Hrothgar, sharper eyes and face like Aura (though not as thin), piercing eyes, bunny nose. And to make females match up, they couldve made them a bit more feral, adding chest shoulder and back fur like male hrothgar, sharper facial features, more wild hair, peircing eyes, a more prominant eyebrow ridge, possibly even fangs on both. It would be a new take on Viera where theyre more feral and less supermodel. Unfortunately, I think this kind of idea gets shot down by a very vocal "OH VIERA HAVE TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE FFXII OR WE RIOT!" minority who want a 100% carbon copy of Fran and friends from 12. In this regards, I have a big problem with viera in general cause it feels a lot more like theyre just in here cause fans of 12 rather than being part of the universe. Same with Hrothgar to be frank.

Id love races like this. Particularly another small race. Theres a crap load of big/tall races already. More small medium variety would be nice.
