Appears more likely than not that new Stormblood areas gated by 3.5 Completion

I have done that - and I was not waiting to hit the latest content. Instead I was enjoying the old content.

I totally agree , if Ive never done it then its new to me, Im a mentor in the nn and alot of newer players wouldnt even wana skip the story even if they dont like arr story I meant ha. I get the jump potion idea, but to get to 3.5 would take a few weeks at most its not as bad as it sounds really.
