Best way to do the 2.0-2.55 Story to access Ishgard?

Yoshi-P said at some point that the rough sketch of 4.0 is finished and will likely not require MSQ completion from ARR and HW.

That would directly contradict his live letter reply regarding the HW gate. Do you have a source?

Of course I can't find it now. It is entirely possible I am remembering it wrong, or misattributing forum speculation to actual fact.

Not necessarily. They may have something else in mind regarding RMT prior to 4.0 rolling, which will replace the need for a content gate.

I'm pretty sure it was from an interview, but yes I remember that too. He said there'd be a way for them to catch up on the story, or something. A recap video perhaps? They're still working that out.
