In FFXI to unlock advanced jobs you needed to get to lvl 30, which took about 1-3 months depending on your playstyle and when you joined game (later expansions made it faster, as I'm sure later XIV expansion also will).

Biggest roadblock I see is the storyline duties, but Yoshi already said they are going to add feature to allow us to queue into duties with parties of less than 4 with Heavensward.
Even with cutscenes I could see someone getting to 50 in less than a week. EXP is really easy and with main story quests it keeps it going fast.
