There are so many ways to spin that though. Look at ROG and NIN. Is every knife-fighter in Eorzea trained by Jacke and co.? Has every ninja taken lessons from Oboro or whatever his name was?
When the hang-up is "universal origin is bland," that's not a lore concern, that's purely a roleplay issue on a personal level. Xaela aren't nearly as restricted by lore as, say, White Mages are... and yet I can point to people who have creatively justified their divergence of origin.
