There was never supposed to be Female Roegadyn in the first place, I'm sure if there were the males would have been sized down some, as the Male Roegadyn is the tailless spiritual successor to the Galka.
Merlwyb was present in 1.0, before they ever added Femroes into character creation, so clearly there was intent. Her appearance was purportedly so jarring it caused people to guess she was either an entirely new nonplayable species, or some form of Elezen, at the time.
I bullshit you not.

I'll try saying Dina's thought again.
Female Roegadyn were never intended to be playable in 1.0. Must like the ever-elusive male Miqo'te and Au Ra. FFXIV undeniably borrows some design elements from FFXI. Are we playing FFXI with prettier graphics? No. Was 1.0 like FFXI with prettier graphics? You'll need to ask someone who played FFXI.
Weren't the initial female Roegadyn designs changed too? Concept art make them seem more stocky than their current forms. I thought I'd heard some people say that initial fan rejection led to making the female roegadyn more slim.
