What does being from Vana'diel add to your roleplay other that a difference that can't really be used by anyone else? Perhaps it's an interesting story to tell, but after the telling what can you do with it?
In fact being from Vana'diel only really limits you.
I don't see a reason for it other than wanting a special origin.
I can understand wanting that sort of "flavour" to your character but other than that, I honestly don't think it'll affect your roleplay much.
Besides, I think it's fun taking a pre-existing character you had in one universe, and re-purposing them to fit in the universe you want to roleplay in. (Think Marvel mainstream 616 vs. Marvel ultimates 1610.)
