I'm aware. I guess for me I'd rather just have the job quest open in my journal and be unable to complete it because I can't access a specific zone (remember this was entirely possible during the days of Rhauban Extreme when you could accept job quests that required you to go to the Ruby Sea while having not ability to actually go to the Ruby Sea because you hadn't advanced the expansion story far enough) than have to remember that I need to go back and pick up the quest later.

This is especially true for job quests in the 50-60 range where your skills are tied to completing the quest. So it's a lot of extra stuff to track through just to get your skill set after you enter Ishgard.
