New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

But skipping the story, heck no. If they want to play the new stuff then they can buy it and start working on it and be caught up by June.

Then SE better put "Content in Heavensward can not be accessed until you finish Before the Fall Part 2. This requires you to be level 50 and ilevel 90" in huge bold letters on physical boxes or on the website. That way, new players can decide whether they want to level a Job to 50 and then i90 or just say "stuff it" and not bother buying FFXIV at all.

Because it's an EXPANSION, I would expect some form of PROGRESSION to earn access to the EXPANDED CONTENT.
