Wut?

No, it wasn't required to beat Shadow Lord to access the new jobs.
No, it wasn't required to complete most the main-story to access Kazham. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure the point where you get a free Airship Pass (Rank 5?), had no baring whatsoever on you getting access to Kazham, which was a seperate quest entirely.

All of the content, you had access to, if you were of a level that was appropriate. A level 30 could unlock -all- the new jobs. Just as it should have been here (assuming class pre-reqs are met.)
