the hard truth is tho female hrothgar was not going to happen. the graphics team started working on male viera in their free time (secretly), as it was mentioned in an interview. i don‘t want to sound harsh but the reality is, the only reason female hrothgar is going to happen is due to high demand for male viera. yoshi p said his stance about the genders didn‘t change (he didn‘t want them included), until the graphics team presented him their work i guess. and if you are going to complete one race, you can‘t just ignore the other.
even tho i probably won‘t play femhroth, i still would continue to ask for their inclusion. and i think they wanted to avoid another shitstorm...
so i think it‘s plausible viera came first, as the more demanded race in general.
I feel like parts of this story are abit.....off.
Male Viera and Female Hrothgar were a "Maybe" if they can get over some hurdle that money in itself wouldnt fix alone. Plus this is possibly the last time they could develop new races for the game because of the time and money it takes to make them and fit gear to them and all that jazz. So they wanted to fulfill a long time request of putting in Viera, and then do what THEY wanted and put in a Beast Race. One Female only, the other Male Only.
The fact they can make Male Viera now and have stated Female Hrothgar are happening, but instead of waiting to release them at the same time-they will release them one at a time as they are finished......tells me they figured out the hurdle.

Honestly, considering what they did in ShB, it would have made more sense for them to just do what they originally wanted and intended...and finish the Hrothgar.
Cause now we are stuck with the weirdness that is a FemRoe as a Hrothgar Queen.
