That's just a handwave though to avoid having to come up with a 'canon' reason for all the story explanations though. Really, it's completely up to you exactly where your character comes from - saying "you're a foreigner' is just a simple way to say "We don't know where you were born" - for all they knew you could have actually been Eorzean born and raised but had been travelling for a long time and have now returned. It's completely up to you.

Yeah, you could be from anywhere, really. They cover it with the "Have you been to this city before?" option in the intro.
