    I hear they need experienced developers if you are interested. They are always talking about how difficult it is to find good people to make the game.

    This is likely one of those cases where throwing money wouldn't have done anything without manpower, which they have said they are lacking. And looking for.

    The "small indy dev" meme isn't really funny or meme-y, just lame really. Aren't the makers of that crowdfunded space game "indy" and they have what, 250mil raised? That seems even more ridiculous to me than viera not getting a 2nd set of see-through underwear. All indy means is they don't have a separate source (company) of publishing/funding, no?

    It better be "A". The Hrothgar have the same underclothes design as Roegadyns.

    It stings because everyone should know how SE went from the brink of collapse to the multi billion dollar/yen company they are today.

    Lazy? I don't think so. Remember the art team took time out from their break and managed to squeeze in 500 headgears for hrothgar and viera. Bit off more than they could chew though? Definitely, i think yoshida got too greedy wanting hrothgar and viera in and the dev didn't have time to accomodate 2 different races rather than 1 race M/F.

    2 single sex races and 1 dimorphic dual sex race requires the same amount of work. I suspect that it is more a case of the shear amount of sets they needed to fit to the new races.

    M Roe, MF Lala, F Miqote, M/F Elezen, M/F Midlanders and M Highlanders were all released with the initial gear sets. Work on new gear sets have been spread over the years since 1.0 was released.

    F Roe, M Miqote and F Highlanders required them to fit the 1.X gear in addition to fitting the new 2.0 gear to them at release. 2.0 did not have that many new gear models at release, only the Acolyte, Foestrikers, Cavalry, Infantry, Battlemage and the sexes' "racial" gear sets were new.

    M/F Au Ra required the 1.X and 2.X gear to be fitted in addition to the new 3.0 sets for their release.

    F Viera and M Hrothgar required them to be fitted with all the 1.X, 2.X 3.X and 4.X sets in addition to adding the new 5.0 gear. This was 2 expansions more than the Au Ra so opting not to fit most of 4 expansions worth of head gear and dropping the undergarment sets saved them a ton of work.

    M Viera and F Hrothgar will require them to fit 5 expansions worth of gear if they get added in 6.0.

    It is easy to forget that the amount of work that needs to be done to fit gear to a new race has changed a lot since 1.0 and 2.0 released.
