Regarding Requirements for Unlocking the new Classes Heavensward

[Cherie]

I completed main storyline, but where are you guys getting that doing that is needed for getting access to Ishgard?

Everything I've heard has seemed to say you could just buy the combo ARR+Heavensward combo pack if have never touched FFXIV and are good to just go start on one of the new jobs. I mean, honestly I think it would be kind of cool if there was some questing involved to "unlock" the jobs. However, so far, maybe/maybe not need a job at lvl15 to unlock the job (just like every other job), besides that, I see no evidence. You could be a dark knight running around with a sapling icon on your name... I'm prepared to see them!

Feel free to link stuff proving it though if I'm mistaken. :P

Additionally, the guilds for the three new jobs will all reside inside Ishgard, therefore you’ll first have to come to Ishgard if you would like to become one of these new jobs.

Alone that the new jobs start with level 30 should say to you that new players will not be able with starting as one of them

So i can't find this information anywhere on the website or forums but what are the requirements for unlocking these classes. Do you have to at least have one character on level 30 or what

First you will need to finish the main story which will also require you having a level 50 job. You cannot enter Ishgard until then and Ishgard is where the new jobs are started.

check lodestone and in the forums check the live letters. SE has put out quite a bit of info so those are some places to look.

In order to visit Ishgard, you’ll first have to complete the main scenario quest “Before the Dawn,” which will be implemented in Patch 2.55 at the end of this month. For those of you thinking about returning at the start of Heavensward, we recommend coming back a bit earlier to finish off the main scenario quests. With the main scenario completed, you can install Heavensward and immediately accept the first quest of the expansion that will lead you to Ishgard.

Furthermore, those of you who have pre-ordered the all-in-one pack, FFXIV: Online, will receive the pre-order in-game bonuses but it will not come with Early Access. If you'd like to participate in Early Access, please purchase A Realm Reborn, finish the main scenario, and then pre-order Heavensward.

I have another question if you have one character on your account who has met these requirements can you create a new character who starts off as one of the new classes

Highly doubtful.
This game is not alt-friendly in any way.

EDIT: You can't even start as Rogue on an alt, so yeah...

Nope. The new character starts with all jobs at level 1 and no Main story completed. As you need access to ishgard on each character (which requires 2.55 to be completed) a brand new character cannot start as a new job regardless of whether you have another character that has unlocked them.

I'm afraid not. The new character won't have access to Ishgard without also completing the main story quest of 2.55.

I have another question if you have one character on your account who has met these requirements can you create a new character who starts off as one of the new classes

No. All characters are completely separate, because there are very few reasons to have multiple characters.

Every character is like an own savefile and creating a new character like clicking on "new game" in the offline games.
In short, every character start at the very beginning.
