Now, Ive said a good handful of times they can add to that lore to justify them, otherwise there is a lore excuse should they chose to fall back on it.

No Female Hrothgar is because they didnt have enough time and resources to make them along with Male Hrothgar and the Viera
I've gone over and OVER this. They're not FFXII Viera suddenly sucked into a portal and dumped in the XIV world. They're Hydaelin Viera. They look similar to Ivalice Viera (note: no clawed, three-toed feet, no long claws, ears sit differently, eyes look somewhat different), they have similar (note: SIMILAR, not THE SAME, SIMILAR) Lore, but they're NOT the same.

EVEN THOUGH Matsuno worked on Return to Ivalice, they're not the same. To the point that it's repeatedly mentioned that Ivaliceans are Proto-Garleans, especially the Gougans. Matsuno basically added Fran (and she was added later in development because originally he wanted to add Balthier), the XIV dev team decided to make Viera, and basically made THEIR version of Viera, not Matsuno's (or, Akihiko Yoshida's, the character designer).
