Can Red Mage start at level 30?

And are we still ignoring the FACT that SE admitted locking MCH, AST, and DRK away was a mistake? Yet they insist on doing the same thing here?

They admitted locking them behind the walls of a city only accessible by completing the entire 2.0 story was a bad idea. I have a feeling you will be able to unlock the new jobs upon completing Praetorium.
