Cross world parties don't really act like normal parties in a battle setting, until you're in an instance.

So, for example, if a skill/spell specifies that it must target a party member and not just anyone, it's not usable while in a cross world party and not in a DF instance. And as you've noted, a lot of other functionality is missing too. Cross world parties are essentially preparation to join the duty finder queue into an instance.

The workaround for this - if you're not planning to operate in a DF instance - is to have others world visit and meet up on the same world, and then form a regular party. A cross-world party in the overworld is more akin to operating ad-hoc with others that don't share a party.
