No, that isn't sexism. That's following gender norms. Not to mention that viera were already created before this game. To say that it's sexist because they are implemented exactly how they appear in Final Fantasy XII is laughable at best.Technically the Viera design being "all girly" and the Hrothgar being "strong and beastly" could be argued as being sexist stereotyping. But it only really presents because they are placed together, if either or both were a full race, this argument would collapse. Its why its borderline or suggested rather than clear blatant sexism.
Well actually... that kinda is sexism. Because there aren't really any "gender norms" both males and females are more on a spectrum between Feminine and Masculine defined behaviour and appearance... as males can be effeminate and females can be muscular/ portray masculine values.
Also the FF12 version of Viera was a product of its time... and gives an impression that can be argued as being sexist - but i don't think this is the place for that particular debate.
