Final Fantasy is a game entirely apart form Warcraft, and is fully entitled to make its own mistakes. That doesn't mean they aren't mistakes - and from my perspective this is clearly one, given the effect it has upon discouraging bringing in new players. Generally speaking, people rarely buy a new game to take part in two year old content or spend six months of grinding before being able to enjoy the current game with their friends.Â
I have no doubt FF's expansion will still be successful. I also have no doubt that this sort of design will turn away some potential new players.  It negatively impacts my own judgement and enjoyment of the game (since I won't even bother making the Ishgard-based alts I was considering), and has had a negative impact on any anticipation I may have had toward Heavensward.
None of this has a fig to do with Warcraft, or any of FF's other MMO competitors.
