When these Worlds are created, it will be possible to make new characters there. However, as a temporary measure, we’re planning to make it so characters from already existing Worlds won't be able to transfer there.
Not temporary, PERMANENT, no reason to allow transfers for any foreseeable time after launch, considering the vast wealth many will have built up in XIV so far due to the ease of getting gil and the lack of any use for it.
