Now, are we talking 'involved with (class) guild' or just 'can be associated with (class)'? Cause these would be two very different things. If the former, I would think the less social/civilized cultures would be excluded by their nature.
There are "Duskwight Mercenaries" that are Pugilists, Lancers, and Gladiators.Â
Franz the Fair, a current champion of the Colosseum, is a Midlander Gladiator. There are Dunesfolk Gladiators running around too.
The head of the Lancer's Guild is a Midlander.Â
Two of the main NPCs in the Pugilist quest are both Dunesfolk. The main Pugilist trainer/guild leader is Midlander. Highlanders as Pugilists actually do not jump into the Pugilist stuff at all until the MNK quests.
There are Rogues of pretty much every stripe seen in the Guild (at least one Elezen and a Roe guards the door).
The main antagonist of the Pugilist arc is a Hellsguard Marauder. A Plainsfolk Marauder is a major character in the SCH quest.
The main Arcanist (the one that runs everything while the guild leader is doing gods know what) is a Roe, and I believe the guild leader himself is a Keeper.
We see several Elezen CNJs, and a Roe CNJ is in the Marauder Quest.
Also the signature art and character for BLM is a female Elezen who started as a Gladiator back when Derplander was an Archer, go figure. Also Derplander = Midlander Archer.
While an interesting thought experiment, we have ample evidence that there is no real restriction placed on classes and training as classes. The guild's do not forbid anyone, and there is no racial or even city-state stricture on any of the classes (example - while lancer legions were famous in Ala Mhigo, Ishgard and Gridania also has large lancer corps. Lancers were such a prized form of soldier they every city state has them in some capacity).
In short, no such thing as "making it work" for all races. No such thing as more appropriate or least appropriate by lore. Yar.
Hope this has been helpful.
