Was actually just looking for this. An NPC named Vavaki has a few things to say about Goblins. Apparently they've always been around Eorzea but in much smaller numbers, but recently (circa 1472) many have left their hiding places to travel into Eorzea's cities in what the Goblins call "The Great Pilgrimage."
As for Qiqirn, there isn't much information on them, but they do appear to be native to Vylebrand. And they've at least been in Eorzea as long as Limsa has existed since Qiqirn used to be vital parts of pirate crews. They also have claws that are adapted to slice clean through Sahagin scales. So to me that suggests they've been present in Eorzea long enough to evolve to their surroundings.
