I think farmer Yoshi is going to keep to his apples when he has the rest of the stall to fill :P

They'd both break even but he might have to make the corn harvest (other content) a bit light.

Purely hypothetical metaphor here, since I personally believe creating another race would cost more.
I understand the metaphor and you undenaiably have a point, but they could make 80 gil or, they could spend 30k gil on something that might turn to 15k or 100k gil, without any exact estimates. It really is a gamble to take wither choice, but with the missing genders as much as they are more work it would actually give them a chance at a ton of money and specially theres really never been a way as easy as this one to get good press and lock on the preorders. That being said, in things like 3 houses where ppl clamored for Claude and Dimitri and Sylvain and others to be romancable by Mbyleth which is incredibly easy to do and would egt them a ton of good will, at the very least in the west, they still didnt do it, so its all pretty much guessing until we get confirmation or denial
