New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

[Mugiawara]

The only way I'm going to see a way around this is if he skips every single cutscene in the game, and just watches it again as DRK in the INN. They have the non CGI ones in the INN so it's not impossible for him to get the feel of it.

It just sucks he'll have to skip everything to get what he wants to experience.

Why not just make him go afk and carry him through the battle so he technically wasn't there for the first time?
I mean this sounds SUPER ridiculous even to me but if It's able to get him the feel by re-doing the dungeons once DRK is unlocked himself - it might be worth it.

The problem here is, they can't never get that "First time feel!" Ever again as that other job. I don't really like the CS argument...it just reminds me of Prae runs...it's not the same y'know?
Another problem that I am starting to notice is....It's the fact that in order to even get anything done...you are forced to finish 2.0...
Okay yeah, I'm starting to see how crappy that is, because personally I hate the games boring story...so I mean if I did all the other fun stuff like coil and Wod and bla bla, and I am ready to play HW...I can't...because
I HAVE to finish the story to be Au'ra and other job's....

BUT here's the thing, the race and jobs are linked to the lore so it does kiiinda make sense that it's locked like this as we are heading to Ishgard and everything starts there, but I mean...some of us don't give 2 craps about the lore.
So right now I'm kinda in-between it as far as "Lore" goes. Even though I did it, trust me, it wasn't all that fun. They could of done this a different way but I dunno how but
as for "Hey, can't do this because you HAVE to complete this storyline" kinda does suck...I'm glad I did it though lol, not trying to down anyone but if I were a newbie, did all the stuff I wanted
to this would be a real downer on my end.

TLDR: This entire thing could of been done differently if it were for the "Force the lore!" type of deal...I don't think I like it, after reading back some posts now.
Just how it is I guess...Just so glad I did all I needed to do, at least the story has gotten more fun so it was kinda worth it.
