If you speak to the right NPCs in 1.0 [size=xx-smal](and even 2.0's Alpha)[/size], you can find that even now there are refugees arriving from Ala Mihgo to other city-states and the hamlets which surround them. Sati's family, in fact, left Ala Mhigo prior to its downfall, though his family was tipped off in large part because they are traveling merchants, and so they knew a great many people who had ears and lips in the proverbial grapevine to know the best time to depart before things got ugly.
The Silver Bazaar, for example, is mentioned in lore as a hamlet which took in a great many Ala Mhigans after it was overtaken by the Garlean Empire.

Considering the plight of refugees escaping violent wars and civil strife in the real world, it stands to reason you would see the same thing in Eorzea. A lot of those refugees also seemed to head for Gridania or Ul'dah, so take that for what it's worth.
Addendum: Just remember, by the way, that you will not be able to please everyone with the character you make. And to quote my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut, who I think is semi-apropos in this case:
"Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia."
While writing for a character that interacts with other characters not written by you does mean you need to consider external influences, just remember that you want to have fun, you know?
