I have survived in extraordinary circumstances and single handedly saved people from a menace in those circumstances. I speak Moogish. Green behind the ears, yes. But certainly not deserving of their constant scorn for the first 5 levels.
No, you're pretty much a noob. I mean, congratulations, you can speak Moogle Speak if you start in Gridania.
FFXI was the same with new adventurers. Frankly, it's a common theme from both games. This isn't supposed to be like Aion where you're secretly some savior of the Elyos or Asmodian race who has a nasty case of amnesia all revealed before you even make it to Sanctum or Pandemonium. Obviously I'm using the most extreme opposite side as an example, but nevertheless, you are a wet-behind-the-ears, newcomer of an adventurer, and considering the world of Eorzea is teeming with them (some of the tavern NPCs that greet you even say as such!), why wouldn't the NPCs be wary of yet another new one?
And before the riposte is made ... yes, I know, the horned kid says people who talk Moogle Speak are rare. Yes, tens of thousands of PCs can suddenly speak it. That is still nothing compared to the pomp and importance given to your character in some other MMOs, like the aforementioned.
I'm curious. How far along are you in the story, anyway? Level 10? Level 20? I ask because as it stands, there is a whole world of more story to be seen, so for all any of us know, things could change by the point you're mid-way to the level cap, or even earlier. By the time you were only even halfway to cap in XI, or just a bit over, they were asking you to take on the Shadow Lord. Things can change very quickly.
A friend to the end to depend on you can.
