New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

[Kallera]

it's a reason itself, because this jobs are into a city we can't reach until we complete the story explaining of why we can enter this city. is not gated poorly, its link to the lore, the jobs we will get acces are directly link to ishgarde.... ignoring this and giving this jobs to anyone that haven't the right to step into ishgarde is bad in too many way.

I'm just hoping this isn't like the classes/jobs issue where these jobs have a marked stat increase and mandatory utility over the other jobs.

I seem to recall the devs saying the HW content would have skills and abilities nearly mandatory for completing new content. But they don't need new jobs for that, it can easily be crammed into the remaining 10 levels and inbetween job quests.
