how is early access going to work?

[White_Wolf_X]

are all of the combat/job changes going live on the 28th, but inaccessible to people who did not preorder?

All who pre-order shadowbringers and claim the early access key will be able to play shadowbringers content on the 28th, as the new classes are part of shadowbringers you very likely wont be able to unlock them until you buy the expansion.

This isnt 100% new classes will be available from the start of early access this is what happened in Heavensward and Stormblood the new classes required that you could get to the new zones for their class stories but im sure you can pick up the job quests in the ARR world.

It's already been stated at FanFest that the GNB trainer is in Gridania and the DNC trainer is in Limsa.

that and RDM + SAM were both in Ul'dah. It was only HW that required access to the new area.

Even if they are in ARR areas you still won't be able to get them without the expansion. so it doesn't matter.
