^above- with the Nico NICO live going on and benchmark happening.

Has there been any confirmation of the need to finish 2.55 to access new jobs?

I don't blaze through content i like to enjoy the lore and story and it would stink that would have to rush through it all just to play the new jobs i love!

I think it hurts new players that didn't want to play due to finding existing jobs unappealing and forcing them to play a whole game (2.0) just to start at a level 30 at job they love.
