At every stage of the game, newcomers were limited to starting with one of six different jobs: Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Red Mage, or Black Mage, but after getting any of these to 30 they could unlock any job from the base game or any expansion.
Yes, I'm well aware of that. I was simply pointing out that they had a different form of gating. You couldn't just make a new character and boom. You can go be that job(which is what this big fuss is really all about).
