I'm personally fine with people having Amnesia, and it seems like that's going to be a major plot point anyway, but I have always been itchy when it comes to Dimension jumps. I say this because I've had some pretty awful experiences with Roleplayers and Dimensional things. SO I think Xenedra has a pretty good case here, just use your FFXI character as a baseline and go from there!

Armi is from FFXI too, she was created there and she also, like your character, died there. Ever since I've been kind of transposing her personality into different games, though this will be the first time I bring Armi back to a Final Fantasy game. Because of this Armi has had many, many storyline and many interesting things happen to her. FFXI had a lot of great storylines and stuff that happened to her but it was for the best that I left those storylines in FFXI as, even with the same people, it would be hard to recreate again. They were magical then and lightening generally doesn't strike twice.
So I understand where you're coming from.
