I don't see why you couldn't have an Au Ra in Eorzea before the mass exodus. Would be rare? Sure. Would it be impossible? Not at all. It's especially possible with a Raen since the Domans used to trade with Limsa. You could simply say that your character got on one of the boats (for trade related reasons or otherwise) and just decided to stay.
I guess it gets a bit trickier if you stray outside of Limsa and the surrounding area though. You would see all sorts of people at a port town but not so much outside of them.
