Sure, you could "do" XI content at level 30. No, you wouldn't have actually contributed anything to the fights. You'd get carried.
I don't consider being carried through content completing it.
Edit: Sure, Dynamis Lord was killable at level 65!
You are thinking of endgame. FFXI endgame was completely aside from story missions, and it actually had a reasonable level requirement too to be completed. We're talking about access to basic things such as exploration and job quests here.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
