I wonder how the JP community felt when there were only 8 zones for the whole game. Hell land-mass wise even smaller than XIV. NM's didn't exist for a few months "sound familliar" and job were super unbalanced and Sub-jobs didn't exist.
Player from JP PS2 release here,
your information are sadly, mostly incorrect.
There are already 9 region(around36 zone)+all 4 city at the time of May02, with 2 more (northland) on Nov 02, Subjob existed since release as well.

There is no achievement comparable to arriving Jeuno or getting subjob(took me 3 months) in FFXIV, at least, for me.
