That's what I was thinking too actually, it doesn't check. You can have a 50 Warrior, be on a Lv5 Archer and accept a Lv26 quest to go kill some enemies. But try that with the class/job quests or main scenario quests and it immediately locks you out from accepting it. Next time you're doing a main scenario quest stand next to the NPC and change your class to something below the required level. Immediately the icon above their head will turn red showing a little key on it. Switch back and it reverts to normal.

While I would like see that changed I have little faith they will either.
