I lived in Japan for several years. My wife is from Nara. We both game. So, I'm pretty sure they operate the same as they do everywhere else. That aside, it's simple logic. The DF is set up to pay you for doing old content so there are people who will run it with new players. If nobody had a reason to run old content, like the daily roulette bonuses the sprouts wouldn't be able to do the MSQ without finding people to do it with them and they would quit. Without those daily bonuses what reason would anybody have to run Sastasha for the bazillionth time? Squeenix doesn't give out roulette bonuses for nothing. It's the same reason every relic quest involves revisiting old content, and if you get a sprout you get another xp/gil/tome bonus. The PF is specifically for finding like minded people, which is why it has lockouts.
