VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Senn]

I think male viera look amazing as they are. I wouldn't have liked it if they had snouts or were buff.
Besides, if you want something that's buff and has a snout, there's hrothgar lol

SE proving once again that they only knows how to make excuses and lies. The real reason they didn't put viera male and hrothgar female in the game from the beginning is because they wanted to make the hot woman and the strong man. Change my mind.

I don't know about that. I think Yoshi P mentioned he and his team wanted to include a beastly race into the game as there was a demand for such a race. But there was also a lot of demand for viera as well. While male viera do exist in ffxii lore, only the iconic female viera have ever made an appearance, so the team went with female. It just kinda worked out that way.

The reason only male hrothgar and female viera were released was because including both genders of each race would functionally be the equivalent of creating 4 new races. It was all a matter of work flow. Viera and hrothgar were supposed to be the final races added to the game, so the team had to make a decision - one they thought would make the most amount of people happy. The graphics team did not want to disappoint, and tried to appease both groups of people. (And just for context, there were so many people who wanted to play as viera for many, many years. And there were many players who wanted to play as a beast race for equally just as long.)
