RE: Can I go to Ishgard right after purchasing Heavensward? Yoshida says "No". - Kage - 03-15-2015
Honestly, I feel like closing threads when it gets heated or derailed is the worst decision to have made. There's certainly more than a few other people who are innocent by-standers who are not -able- to do anything other than have a thread and means to discuss a topic away from them. A decision done instead of taking root of the matter and dealing with the people who are derailing threads, harassing others, etc.
On that note, I've always figured that Heavensward would have a gate to certain parts of its content. I've never experiences MMO expansions but Heavensward is going to be where most of the experience for 50-60 levels come from. Unless the old level 50 mobs get buffed, you won't get much experience from them to get to level 60. Why would you dump people level 1-20 there? Especially when the whole way leading to Ishgard and the areas beyond have huge story content behind it.

Well, instead of requesting the thread be taken, down why don't you give a report on those that are clearly breaking the terms of service?
Nip the problem in at the root, not the bud.
Oh, and Polygon is not remotely a reputable source of information... There are conflicting sources, such as Yoshida's Reddit interview, that states:
* From http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/pax_2015_interview *
"Yoshida: We’re still in the final tweaking stages on where we’re going to have them start but definitely not at level one.
If we mention it I’m sure so many people are going to try and get ready and get a head start. We’re going to keep it a secret as long as we can.
It definitely won’t start at level one so you won’t have to scramble to get through things such as guildleves."
I guess this is why I always try to just wait and see for official patch notes. Conflicting crap, and rumors, and mistranslations. Ugh I say!Â
Also, if you're being harassed and know they're from here or have a name, contact a moderator with your evidence. Pretty sure that's against the rules here as well.

So as per here: http://gyazo.com/ed62d177c244475b02a7fc084ae81dbf
It is confirmed and official as my fears had been. Jobs will require full MSQ completion, which means that they have a lv50 and several other things completion requirements.
At that point, saying that to unlock an HW job you'll just need a lv30 job is kind of biased. Oh well, condolences to all those who had hoped to continue/redo the story as a HW job like I had. Siiiiigh.... see you in Heavensward.

Yep, that's why I now have to bum-rush 7 full characters through MSQ, three of them not even 50 yet.

The only things I need to do at this point is to level thalmage 3 more levels and archer 4, so I can have DRK to go with me PLD and WAR. (Im betting DRK will require lv50 PLD and a lv30 BLM.)
Other then that I have to finish leveling my FCs crafting classes.

(Im betting DRK will require lv50 PLD and a lv30 BLM.)I doubt it will require THM in the same way that NIN doesnt require THM. Primarily because cast times on a melee class tends not to work XD, and those are what the THM brings as Cross Class abilities

But to address the overall thread, yes it is odd that they are restricting access to Ishgard in a general MMO perspective. However, I don't think they expected people to go the length of ARR without touching the MSQ at all, in hopes to do it on an expansion class. And it also makes sense from a story perspective, having played the MSQ.
