You're not. SE sent a correction to a playstation blog interview that pretty much said so.
It was a GDC interview right before PAX. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/...d-new-details/


Naoki Yoshida: You will have to already own A Realm Reborn, plus complete all of the main story quests up through Patch 2.55. After that, an introductory quest for Heavensward will become available; accepting that quest will then guide you through the gates of Ishgard. All of the job quests related to the new jobs will be in Ishgard as well, so the condition to access those will be the same. If a player had stopped playing around Patch 2.2 or 2.3, it would be best to revisit the A Realm Reborn main story quests to get back into the groove as you head towards Heavensward!


The original translation made it seem as if you could grab the jobs, finish the main quest and then enter Ishgard.
