    So I see adding male viera and female hrothgar as having a larger drain on resources and therefore a larger impact on the pipeline.
    Again I disagree, I can respect that insight but to me I believe a job like BLU which is already planned future support in the way of unique content, spell animations, balance and probably some sort of BLU duty finder along with it's own AF gear. Most likely (to my knowledge) took more developmental time than racial modeling, at least I believe modeling does not take up the same amount of dev hands that something like BLU, Ultimate or 24 man raids would take up. The only feasible issue would be QA testing time.

    But again that's my take.

    Edit: It wasn't about content it was about the work burden of modeling new gear for new races as well as the dev teams desire to add in a beastial race. Nowhere did they say "Well if we didn't do this we wouldn't have gotten 24 mans or 8 mans, we would have canceled content" Yoshida stated "If we did this we wouldn't have been able to have 2 races" this implies the racial modeling division is different from the background/enemy modeling division but connected to the gear modeling division as they aren't optimized to be separated faculties yet.
