The 1.x story seemed to emphasize the "you specifically are the one chosen one" stance that you typically see in other MMOs. Right or wrong narratively, that's the path they took and is why you have some who feel that you can't RP knowing a Job ICly, as that's akin to saying you're the personal bodyguard or lover of the Sultana or that you're the exiled crown prince of Ala Mhigo -- you're basically asserting you're a canonical character by doing so.
We don't yet know what the 2.x job quests will look like (the lore of the jobs is up on the main site, though). Given the way the main scenario quest is written, I have hope that they'll continue their commitment to a "you are but one of many chosen ones" theme and make it so that any PC can plausibly know a Job ICly, in much the same way that they make it entirely reasonable (or, really, mandatory for doing content IC without an IC workaround) for all PCs to have the Echo.
Of course, if they change the quests (which I find likely), that'll cause 1.x characters some heartburn, as they'll either have to retcon to the 2.x quest line or come up with some other explanation -- neither of which is very fun.
