The fastest way to level is FATE grinding

There, fixed it for you

I would say that make it available for purchase in the mogstation and make it an auto boost to level 30.

That would be passable as long as you still had to do the Main quest in it's entirety.

And by that you mean ARR, 2.X patch progression and Heavensward correct? That brings up another can of worms. The patch progression between ARR and Heavensward often stigmatizes the game as a long grind of filler.

Yeah, the Development team already said they were going to make it so new players could "skip" patch quests and content, but they definitely didn't say anything about the 2.0 and 3.0 main storyline.

Well then that definitely is a nice step towards the streamlining. Clearly they know where they want to take the game and I just look like an idiot now XD

This isn't entirely true. The only thing they have said about this is they are looking at implementing a story jump potion that fast tracks you forward in the story to a later point or rather auto completes the MSQ to that point. They have said nothing about skipping only patches. Infact their quest systems sounds like it might not be able to do that on a technical side of things.

They have said that Stormblood will require people to have cleared the 3.X patches.

This is how Yoshi-P said the jump potion that exists will change once Stormblood is released.

Finalized Changes to the Feature upon the Release of Stormblood

As I stated previously, the specifications mentioned above are for the potions in the Chinese and Korean versions of the game. We've decided that the potions will change in following ways for the Chinese and Korean versions upon the launch of Stormblood.

The story jumping potion will become the “Adventuring Records of Heavensward.” (we are currently discussing whether or not to keep "Adventuring Records of A Realm Reborn").
Upon using the “Adventuring Records of Heavensward,” the player character will have completed the main quest up to the final quest in patch 3.5 part 2, as well as accepting the initial main quest for Stormblood.
The "Adventuring Records of Heavenward" can only be purchased if the player has purchased and registered their copy of the Heavenward expansion.
Players will be able to boost one job to level 60 with the job jumping potion (the level 50 version of the potion will be removed).
The gear that the players will receive will be changed to level 60 gear for the corresponding job upon purchasing the job jump potion.

This is how the jump potion will also be implemented if they brought it to other regions.
