As has been said here already, moving the job quest givers outside the state of Ishgard does not have to be a huge violation of existing plot lines. At 30 a quest giver appears. Why? Any number of reasons. Thus far most of the job quest givers have been out on their own on some very specific mission where we happened to come across them. Not in a guild somewhere. Most of the jobs are technically off limits rp wise for exactly that reason. We became (insert most jobs) through very special circumstances that technically cannot be replicated by the general masses. The same could have been done here. When you really look at it, people are bothered by the fact that FFXIV is not sticking to its guns and has changed the way they did things in a way that negatively effects many individuals.
Besides, putting all three classes in Ishgard is not required for the story. It is not even in accord with the Lore that we are being given now.
Why can't Cid teach us what being a Machinist is? Gosh, we only have the best damn Garlean tech on the planet as one of our own best buddies! And what about all those Limsan gunners?
Why can't we learn Dark Knight from one of those disgruntled warriors who, according to SE's very lore, leave their cities and families behind to come fight dragons and seek justice, and we might meet one on the other side of the Stone Vigil? It makes as much sense as every single other job story.
And you can't deny that a perfect place for an Astrologian is in the Observatory... in Coerthas.
The decision to stuff the new classes in Ishgard is absolutely NOT required by the game lore. Not one bit. It was a design decision, and while they will HAVE lore to back it up, whatever they have made up to support that decision is just as arbitrary as a lot of their other decisions. FF has great lore, but SE is willing to break their own lore very readily for design purposes.
