Can Red Mage start at level 30?

You are trying to make an argument about alts now. That isn't what we were talking about. So yes, interesting.

No, I'm pointing out the very important differences between your examples and FFXIV. Does SE plan to provide a free character boost with every purchase of the game? Does SE plan to make it so that, instead of having to level up to 50 and do the ARR story on every character in order to access HW and SB jobs, you only have to have done it on one character on the account?

If not, then your examples are not comparable.
