Aether (in FFXIV) and Mediclorians (or however its spelled in star wars) are basically part of the fundamental building blocks of not only all living things but also a vital part of living beings.
Star Wars never did that, wait, fuck.

By FFXIV standards though, Aether vary's between person to person. Some people are born with large natural inner reserves of Aether, allowing them to become things like mage's and wizard's while those born with a pitiful level of Aether often become warriors and swordsmen if not tradesman.
Even then though, you would still need to go through 'hell training' in order to increase you're natural reserves. It's kinda like bodybuilding. You wont get strong from going to the gym once a month when you should go once a week. You get strong because you excersize you're Aether muscles every day. This translates over into the level system where as you level up and youre natural Aether reserves increase.
So really, there are already plenty of limit's to Aether in game. It is not a handwave possible solution (unless everyone is okay with it) because even if you are born with a decent amount, you still need to train and excersize youre aether muscles to increase youre reserves. The same goes for melee fighting characters like warrior, monk and Dragoon, where you will probably have to go through 'hell training' to get very powerful.
And even then, if you tried to aim to be the strongest you can be, it would take forever from a realism standpoint to become so intensely powerful.
