Glad this topic has been brought up as it's actually a good point for most people's characters - though those who may not be the 'Warrior of Light' but do take into their characters some references from the game's storyline.
When you create a character (at least when you're not a legacy player) it is implied that as an adventurer you come from somewhere outside of Eorzea. So, basically, the player characters are not Eorzeans per say, but travelers from any land outside of the where the main game takes place. As hyurs with a third eye are the main denizens of Garlemald, and no player character has one of these 'eyes', it can be assumed that they are not of Garlean stock. This lends itself to allowing us to be from the newly mentioned Doma (as one of my characters is - who I created for the ninja job before it was released and oddly enough looks more Asian than the Doman npcs do), or any other nation brought up be previous posters on this thread.
My main character I play ICly was born in Gridania, but has her father coming the 'mountains and hills bordering Eorzea' (and she and her father are highlanders - haha
)
