Sure, they could have set things in the older zones but I imagine they wanted to focus on the new this time around.

The job role quests were an interesting change of pace in my opinion, though I can't help but hope that this won't be the norm for future expansions. I've only done the lvl 80 DNC quest at this time but it didn't do a whole lot for me in terms of tying up loose ends; it left things rather open-ended. I remember Yoshi-P stating in a live letter that the lvl 80 job quests would be considerably longer than usual to compensate for the lack of storyline there, but the DNC one felt rather short to me though I'm not sure how the others are yet.
To be fair they could have made job quests for us that took place in the first and made perfect sense, could have been about how we learn our new skill/spell's from someone there.
