It may not have been explicitly stated, but the structure and the fact that you have to pay for extra characters very strongly suggests it to be true. I can't think of a reason someone new coming into the game (especially they've come from FFXI) wouldn't expect to be able to see everything there is to be seen.

I was kind of disappointed when I found out you couldn't switch nationalities to do each nation's storyline, but that was made okay by the fact that the story does what I mentioned inan earlier post: It diverges and converges. The stories are different, but they overlap at key points.

The point is, though, it's easy to think, "Hey, I can play any class I want on this one character! But wait, I have to pay to make another one? Must mean I can see everything important on one character."
