I think they did that in FFIX as well when you're in Ice Cavern I think and you can climb up a ladder where there are dragons that are at a high level compared to what you are used to fighting at that point in the game.
Yeah, I remember that being in Gizamaluke's grotto. I think they did it so players wouldn't just put gambits on, wrap an elastic band around the controls and just move around in circles killing regen monsters while they do something else.
I'm not very far in Final Fantasy XII, i'm just crossing the rain filled Giza plains, but I really hope the story either expands beyond a small resistance fighting the big badl empire or just gets told in a more intriguing way like Suikoden 1 (FANBOY) was.
