No Dlvl is present in all rpg's games its not a relic thing its even used in the newest Wrpg's and newer Jrpg's. It was in XI but not to this extreme nature. Like in FF XI I went and poked jormy as a lvl 1 class and he didn't smack me for 9999 dmg but it was like for 1500 dmg.

It was one of the reasons in XI when a class had shit evasion like pld who could dodge a lot of attacks vs a mob who is like lvl 60 but if a class who has good evasion and they was lower Lvl than the pld but had the same evasion number as the 75 pld they would dodge less even tho the numbers was the same this is what Dlvl does it gives you slight edge vs lower lvl players/mobs but it should be to this extreme fashion in XIV.
