The closest I've been able to see is that while they anticipated fan backlash over the two new races only having one playable sex, they didn't realize that it would go over as badly as it did, especially in North America and Europe, so Yoshida said he'd be monitoring things and making a decision how to proceed from there. This was the same time period that he confirmed that lore was not the reason there's only one sex per race, admitting it was a resource allocation restriction that only allowed them to create them as they currently are.
