I'm just going by what Yoshi-P said about cameo characters. If a Final Fantasy character is dead or their story is complete, they can not appear in FFXIV.
Lightning Returns ending spoilers
Lightning Returns ends with Lightning living in a world void of magic, thus meaning she herself is incapable of traversing dimensions to return to worlds she has visited once before... though strangely enough, the FFXIV cameo in Lightning Returns was incredibly weird and didn't match with how FFXIV handled Lightning's cameo. She was given the Miqo'te clothing by the reporter in FFXIV. In Lightning Returns, she gets it from Chocobo ladies.
