It's more ridiculous for you to believe that Yoshi-P will completely forgo the lore he has already set in place to make a few more people happy. You act as if there are tons of people who haven't at least beaten Ultima Weapon SM yet, which is no longer the case.

Also, I'm not even here to advocate it being restricted to post 2.4 story, if you read my paragraphs correctly you would have seen that my guess is post 2.2. I don't even think that Ninja and Rogue will even bet part of the Main Scenario at all at this point afterwards, only that that specific 2.2 quest being a prerequisite to unlocking them. This isn't anything new to MMOs -- in WoW you have to be 55 just to play Death Knight, in FFXI you need to be 30 to access any of the advanced jobs. Personally, I could care less if it was story locked or not, I just know how FFXIV (and FFXI before it) works.

FFXIV is heavily lore-based, if you think for a minute that the team will deviate or mess with it in any way, you're greatly mistaken.
