Please start the new jobs at level 1

[Mirakumi]

Oh please, stop with the ridiculous rhetoric.

Jobs not being gated behind 2.0's main storyline isn't people wanting stuff handed to them.

It is if it disrupts the storyline just so you can play something you want.

I don't remember the addition of the RotZ, ToAU and WotG jobs disrupting the storyline of FFXI.

Like Nestama also pointed out, neither did the addition of ROG/NIN to FFXIV.

Hell, we're getting an entire new race with Heavensward that people can use to start the main storyline with. That has a crap load more potential to disrupt the storyline than the new jobs will.

You're just pulling stuff out of your rear now.

...

The difference between NIN I think is because DOMA came to us, while for Heavensward were actually going to them to learn it.

That's just my standpoint of where SE is going with it. You can argue in circles with me all day.

Honestly if you really want to get into drama, technically I doubt if by FF lore that a level one Astrologian from Ishgard can really make his way through Coerthas alive, and start leveling in the level 1-10 zone.

Unless of course your absolutely determined to run through those zones. Just so you can level 1-30.

More ridiculous arguments. So do you think that all Ishgardian-born adventures/soldiers start out at level 30 too? Don't try to mix lore with game mechanics.

I just don't think it makes sense to have any of the new jobs running around gridania or what not 1-30. They are jobs, not classes.
Jobs as you should know how to play the class.
If you really want to make an argument why not ask SE to make a new class that starts 1-30 before going into whatever. I just feel like the gated thing is a good idea.
People should be in 'touch' with the story not with the jobs.
