Go back and watch the London Fan Fest. It's very clearly stated by Yoshida live on stage that this job is available to EVERYONE INSTANTLY.

Those interviews are all from last year though. The interview the OP quoted is more recent, and them too had initially been given different information about the jobs (you can see it all in the quote, the "original" answer). So it's very possible that SE simply changed their mind.
