    That's some crazy mental gymnastics you'd have to do to actually believe that. From a coding and design aspect, the two are not directly connected in any way. Adding the other genders would only add to the burden of current issues, especially if they were equally unfinished. Adding them wouldn't suddenly make things easier, but more burdensome and likely reduce the chance of the hair issues ever being fixed.

    Support both if you like, but pretending them being added will magically fix current issues is just silly.

    I never said it'd make the CODING easier. From a PR perspective if you give Viera access to hairstyles and headgear and you leave Hrothgar stuck with the same hairstyles and, worse, still make them use a Fantasia to change their hair, it looks bad.

    However, when male and female Viera and Hroth exist concurrently, they're being compared to EACH OTHER, not to the OTHER RACE. So Hroth's dependency on Fantasia can be tackled wether Viera gets new hair or not.
