NA (and EU for that matter) has always gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to SE recognizing pleas and feedback. There seems to be apparent favoritism and a post i posted a few pages back goes into that.In regards to the male viera thing, i think a big problem people had with the whole thing was that they couldve made them more appealing to all by simply making the height slider more varied, and giving them at least one masculine face similar to what miqote has. Which was a common thing brought up on the NA side but ofc, thats NA, not JP which SE seems to favor.
It was something miniscule with a miniscule fix. If they changed it because it was perceived by players as ugly or unappealing it would still be a small issue with an equally small fix, but I suspect the reaction would have been very different and more along the "Okay?" expected seeing.

It sucks when what you're asking for goes seemingly ignored (I play Viera, I very much get it) while they do this, but some fixes and changes are orders of magnitude larger than fiddling with a JPEG.

They could've done a lot of things with viera or any other race, I think it probably would have been better if they did, but obviously they're not interested in appealing to absolutely everyone interested in the race. They ignored a lot of talk about increasing the height slider for female Viera to be able to make them shorter as well so clearly they do have their own vision about how they want the races to look beyond player requests, and unfortunately this is the way the cookie crumbled for "your side".

Kind of off topic but when female viera hit the benchmark I had 0 interest in them as well and found them quite disappointing to be honest, it took a good long while before I warmed up to them and now I don't want to play anything else. Hopefully some people that are disappointed now will come around to enjoy them when they're actually playable.
