So, I've noticed that throughout all of the dialogue my character is constantly being referred to as a foreigner. As if I'd never set foot on Eorzea once before mysteriously sitting in a carriage/boat heading to one of the city-states to begin my adventures.

Now, I've mostly managed to ignore it (primarily because I have yet to find a roleplay group on either Courel or Jenova), but the roleplayer/lore nut in me is continually bugged by this. If I'm not from Eorzea, at all, as is implied then where am I from? Obviously there's the Empire, but what if I don't want to be Garlean either? What other choices are out there?

Admittedly, at this point I'm liable to just make something up, but I thought I'd throw this out and see if it bugged anyone else.
