No, man. Seriously. Real, true Dragoons are products of Ishgard. They've spelled that out in bold.
There's a difference in what the players are allowed to access, and their place in the world. Consider for a moment that the storyline in 1.0 was centered around the Player Character being the chosen one.
Now, obviously, we weren't all the chosen one, and the NPC dialogue for the Dragoon Quest straight-up says that the eye doesn't just pick anybody. You don't just sign up on the roster, and become a Dragoon. And even then, Dragoons are rare commodities. They don't leave Ishgard. They fight the Dragons.
