I'm done with all of the main story that is presently available, but I think that no matter what the lore, PR will rule the day. Sure, lore is nice and all - and all this 'retcon' is bad talk does make some sense, but at the end of the day, SE doesn't need the kind of negative press that releasing a truly hyped new class/job and then making it require someone to have 'beat the game' (as far as having a max level char and beaten 2.2 is concerned) would entail. They will make rogue be available @ lvl 1 and NIN @lvl 30, just as in all classes/jobs currently available - I'd bet on it. Though I agree it doesn't make any sense lore-wise, lore doesn't pay SE's bills.
