See, a player who buys FFXIV as a NEW game...will have never done any of the content at all. It's ALL new to them.
Hell, with all the mixing of coerthas stuff from 2.4 onward, it might even be hard to tell where 2.0 ends and 3.0 begins without knowing about the 2.55 cutscene. It's all integrated with tons of foreshadowing.

i agree think its not gonna be as big as a problem as certain groups of people are making out.. heck if i hadnt played ff14 n brought the bundle id be excited to play a new game not go OH NO!!! cant access dark knight or heavensward right away?? not gonna bother playing this game then... really ARR is a beautiful game with tons to do majority of new players wont even care about stuff being locked behind HW expansion.. its not the 1st game to ever lock content behind somethin ._.
