The next patch, 5.3, is when there doing a story overhaul for a realm reborn story only, patch should be out in July or August but the date is not set yet.

You can always get u a story skip potion on the mogstation if you're not interested in story, towards the lvl 38 part of story and towards the end of a realm reborn it gets interesting, from heavensward and in it's amazing but if story isn't your thing buy a skip potion on the mogstation.

Plus if u like grinding then unlock palace of the Dead in new gridania by taking a quest called the house that death built, palace of the dead is a good way to lvl grind or try out other jobs as well.
