Ah, okay. I started just before Stormblood was released, so it's been that way for as long as I've been playing. Still, that's somewhere around a year since the cross-world PF was introduced then? The original post saying "Now with the cross-server PF" made it sound like he thought it was something that had just been changed recently.
