Kind of in the same boat here, really. It's generally rule of thumb to not be involved with any major NPCs even remotely. You can do it, but most people probably wouldn't really care to acknowledge it or get involved. As Warren said earlier, it would imply your character has some sort of special power/ability/is strong/special enough to be recognized by them rather than just being a citizen of the world. It goes along with fighting primals (although in XIV that's actually a thing), claiming to have killed the Garlean leader, being important enough for the Garlean leader to order your capture, owning Frostmourne, being Sylvanas' long-lost sister/best friend, or hanging out with Kirito.
Yeah, I've seen all of these.
