New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

I'm not insulting them. Stop labeling it as that.
I'm trying to figure out why he is so die-hard on just leveling one class.
This game makes it so you can level multiple ones.
Sure the new classes are gated, but there are so many good other ones to play with.
I just don't understand how someone can say because I love staffs I don't want to play X class. I just want my class.
It sounds very selfish.

Your assuming they are a certain way, and insults are perceptive. Actually that is a very valid reason, I find some weapons in MMOs stupid, silly and ridiculous. Armor sets as well - if I wasn't allowed to change my glamour I probably wouldn't even give FFXIV a chance if I was stuck looking like a clown.

This is what some outfits remind me of in the game:


Final Fantasy actually lacks interesting class mechanics compared to older games, and doesn't really have a large variety of classes. Some classes abilities do exactly the same thing. I would love some more variety and roles. Of course - that would upset the balance, but this isn't a PvP game.

Okay so let me try another route.

I UNDERSTAND the persons reasons for being upset. Who wouldn't want to be an awesome new class right when a new expansion comes out? I know I will be leveling one of them and the reason I'm getting it is because wow a whole new world. New classes. yes. We've been waiting.

Yet the reason the classes are gated makes sense. Its part of the story. FF has always been a story. So even though I am upset at this, I understand it. I accept it.
It's an Expansion of THE STORY.
