The only thing about classes is you have to reach level 10 in your first one before you can grab others. If you're already 20, you'Re good to go. ^^
As far as story goes, we're in the same spot!
I did more RP and guildleves than story stuff for the few months I played... In any case, it seems like 2.0 has its own story and being a 5-years-later sequel, it's more of a stand-alone with references to 1.0. Would have been a bad move to do things otherwise considering all the new players.
Now for us "Legacy" players who didn't finish the 1.0 story... I dunno, we might feel like we missed things.. but the important part I think can be looked up pretty easily (Garlean invasion, final battle...)
It's not gonna be like watching [insert cartoon serie here] [insert episode title here] part 2 without watching [insert episode title here] part 1, for sure.
