Rogue is tied to Limsa, and has been existing as a hidden guild, all along; You join the Rogue Guild, lv up, and then you go to Yugiri, at lv 30, and become Ninja.
As a new player in 2.4, you might as well come directly from the Rogue guild. Would be totally retarded to lock it out behind 2.4 storyline, since you'd need to go through 2.0-2.4, to be able to play Rogue?? not gonna happen...
Well, we know that the rogue guild is in limsa before 2.2 story, so it's most likely that it's already there when the we adventurers start the game. So we could in theory start as rogue and the ninja job is locked till at least 2.2 is cleared and Yugiri joins the group. (But doubt it's gonna happen since that would confuse new players and we know what Yoshida thinks about them)
FFXI was more simple for expansion pack jobs: a few quests to get to the new area, a quest or two to unlock the job and you're done. But FFXIV changes this a lot with the class -> job system
