Mysterious Doors

If you read the FATE quests tooltip in that area you will find out that Mirror Knights have been coming out of that entrance. So it isn't blocked.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Mirror Knights have wings that they can use to fly over the blockade.

Here is something from FF12, I know they more than likely have a completely different lore in FF14 but it seems in FF12 they were unable to fly please note the area I have in bold:

"Being a high rank of bagoly, the armored, flying weapons of war, so effective in combat against enemy soldiers it was honored with knighthood. However, with the advent of airships, the need for its presence on the battlefield decreased, and the old flights were disbanded. Though not disposed of in light of their past contributions, these once-proud warriors of the sky were exiled into the wilds. Having lost reason to fly, they soon lost the ability, and now they crawl along the ground, hunting for prey as any common beast."

It says that they used to be able to fly. It isn't unthinkable that the Mirrorknights in Eorzea can still fly.

Point is there is a passageway, no real reason we couldn't climb through it, other than the fact that outside certain franchises climbing doesn't exist in video games...

Rather than a blockade being the issue, they should have followed on from the lore in the quest where we were collecting corrupt crystal shards from the area and just said that the entrance way is basically just too radioactive...
