This really isn't unfamiliar territory and you wouldn't be the first person to want to play a character that has crossed from one world to another. It has been confirmed lore that the Final Fantasy worlds are connected, though separated by the void, Gilgamesh for instance as he's appeared in multiple titles since his introduction in Final Fantasy V is literally the same character across all of them. After having been banished to the void by Exdeath, he now has the ability to visit these other worlds, the the majority of these being simply cameos.
He is quite literally the Deadpool of Final Fantasy. If we wanted to look at promotional side quests as lore, Eorzea has been visited by the likes of characters from Final fantasy XI and XIII. Though I would defer to our resident lore maven Sounsyy.
That said, he is an extreme example. Playing as someone from lets say Warcraft, Everquest, The Lost World or something really silly like World of Darkness is likely going to illicit a negative response from most people. I think the further removed you make this character from the lore the larger the hurdles you'll make for yourself regarding the majority of RP on the server. Not that I'm saying I know what your concept is going to be.
In essence if you're going to do it, don't be terribly outlandish with it. Though you don't need a whole lot of lore background to create a character to begin with It's very easy to create an extremely basic bare bones backstory and fill in the blanks as you learn about the game.
Regardless of your decision, feel free to ask questions, lore or otherwise.
And just cause it's Gilgamesh...
