They're probably right about Viera. I've said before, even in this thread, that I don't think they were handled particularly well. I also don't think that's a very compelling reason to make the same mistake again though. The work required to integrate playable Garleans seamlessly into the lore and setting is simply too great to be worth it IMO.
They’ve never cared about the lore in terms of bending it in granting players’ requests. We have chicken suits, modern day glams, 90’s glams, Nier crossovers that make no sense. Again, it seems like people like to use lore as an excuse for things they don’t favor, but when it’s something they want, that’s when they shut up about it and look away. Quit with the double standard already. I’d say Viera and Hrothgar were a waste of resources considering they can’t even wear most headpieces and most Viera i see look like ugly porcelain dolls. It doesn’t change the fact they were wanted and thus the devs gave them to us, regardless of lore. Same with Male Viera. Male Viera is literally the biggest offender because the reason yoshi p gave for them not being included barring resources was their lore. Yet look what happened.
