As someone who plays a world traveler as their main, it's doable. Glioca has an entire history from Eorzea before she became Glioca. It's all lined out on her wiki. Glioca herself plays off as having the Echo. The body she inhabited belong to someone who died during the Calamity. She took the body, took the memories, took the soul. She's both people now, technically.Â
She's told maybe three people in Eorzea who she really is and where she's really from. She refers to far away places as that, far away. She plays herself off as a traveler. She's been to other places in Eorzea that others might not have seen. She gets surprised by some things, and not by others.Â
Example, in her backstory, she spent time in Doma. So the Au Ra boom that is happening now? Doesn't phase her much. She's familiar with them, at least in a cursory fashion from being out in and around Othard for a while.
Point being, there are ways to explain it that don't get your idea slapped around by people who want to adhere to the lore so closely that they feel the need to avoid your character. A lot of it is about being plausible, and finding people who don't mind that style of play, to play with.
