Had we not had Hrothgar, Viear as a complete race would have been much more a possibility, that's including hair options and both genders.
Honestly a ton of people have requested Viera for years, and there were a lot of people who wanted to play the "Ronso" race from FF10, which is Hrothgar but they certainly weren't nearly as requested as Viera within NA/EU that is for sure but I also see a ton of people playing Hrothgar so there's a definite demand/audience for them. I do agree that if they hadn't done Hrothgar, it would probably have benefited Viera but honestly when they committed to adding the new races they should have allocated what was necessary to ensure they were on par with the other races in being "complete". I understand the whole "it's expensive in both time and money" thing, but if they're that strapped for resources (which I find hard to believe, considering how much money this game makes) then why do something they were gonna have to cut corners on? It's not a good look.
