I think it's a lot like Culture in the real world, it depends on how you were raised and where you grew up. Japan is a good example of this, where "Japanese culture" still exists, but they are very, very modern too. Rural areas are much more likely to be traditionalist than, say, Tokyo, but you still see bits and pieces in big cities (Shrines, Certain social stigma's, etc). Even knowing that, a person from Tokyo can be VERY traditional, because of how they were raised or because they want to be closer to their roots.
It's absolutely possible, and realistic, for an Ul'dah born and raised Miqote to want to be more of a traditionalist with traditional values to be closer to their culture. The exact opposite, a tribal Miqote wanting to break free of that culture by moving to a big city, is also realistic. This happens often in real life and I, personally, don't feel it makes anyone special. It's just an aspect of their character.
