I don't know when they were introduced in XI compared to the JP release (approximately one year before NA release), but that would be some food for thought, too.
FFXI's AF and limit was released with RoZ as part of the leveling experience (cap before RoZ was 50, AF starts at 52 iirc).

As someone who just restarted and doesn't have any 50's, I'm getting a similar experience out of the job quests in FFXIV as I did from AF in FFXI.
