Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Rokke]

Are you claiming that Square Enix are not gathering feedback primarily from the likes of Twitter and Reddit?

For events gone awry? Oh yeah.
For numbers related things? Sometimes.
For male viera? Not anywhere near as much as you seem to be implying. Viera were contenders for being implemented back in 3.0 (if you have the HW art book theres a page or 2 with the concepts), the art team has had ideas of what male viera should look like for a long, long time. From there they just needed to come up with something Yoshi approved. He said in the past they they'd be a cross between male miqote and male elezen. Look at the benchmark preview- male viera very much fall between male miqote and male elezen.
