As long as I don't see any offical statement I can't really expect anything.

Where? I didn't see any official reply so far on the forum?

It hasn't been on the forums. News articles and interviews with him said the team was looking at feedback and in MrHappy's interview they talked about what it takes to make a new race.

This I already know, what I meant is whether or not we will get the opposite gender once they finally read the feedback, evaluated the cost etc.etc..

Yes and I hope that the community watches the video or reads his interview which can be found here.

Interviews are considered official statements... as for a post on the forum I believe during the interview he said he is most likely going to make one on here. And if you read the interview he doesn't say no nor does he say yes. It is a possibility for the future.

don't think you quite understand, Yoshida IS the official statement.

The point on Armor construction in the art department is very realistic; i fear people won't agree with that excuse, but it's very legitimate.

People have to look at this in the perspective of a game developer.

the thing that I get is his mentions fans wanting a more animalistic/beast race, but in almost every MMO they make up a small minority of the playerbase (as low as 2% in some games) and that's with having them from release and not having to pay to race change or re-lvl and put yourself behind.

So from a game development standpoint it doesn't make sense unless they believe they can create a beast race that everyone and their mother is going to love and that will have more player then the potential for male Viera. ( know a lot of people who enjoyed the race in 12 and A2 who wanted to know what the males looked like, so it's chance not only to get those currently playing that are interested, but those who aren't)
