Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

Just have the Stormblood city accessible, then. Let newbies get their new Jobs once they hit level 30 on whatever Job they are. Don't make players be forced to level a Job they may not care about to 60 before they can even touch the Job they're interested in. Level 30 should be the minimal requirement.

This is a more balanced solution, for those that simply want the new jobs. If story doesn't matter to those people, they will get their job and go on to enjoy content. Or if story does matter, they will possibly play it as the new job.

However, what is being suggested throughout this post, is in essence skipping the entirety of the game. All story. All quests. All dungeons. All content, just to get to a particular end-game raid, to play with friends. I'm assuming Alexander. This is essentially pay-to-win. They may not be paying to win Alexander, but they paid to win every single story fight and dungeon along the way.

This. I wanted to be able to beat the ARR story as a Dark Knight on my alt's first clear but due to the lockout, you can't access the job until after you beat the story and unlock Ishgard. The devs can lock the scenario stuff if they want, but don't lock away the jobs as well. That's one of the main attractions to an expansion apart from the new instanced content.
