Sorry, since i can't PM them I just wanted to let the devs/yoshi that these guys should get dibs on beta access for sure. I'm not sure if they're looking forward to it but I think they should get in. And if they do, I hope SE can back their shit up to them.
These MMO YouTube personalities would at least give a little interest in the MMO community.

Very popular in the MMO community have over 2 million subs, their videos average about 300k to 1 million, so if you want to spark interest these guys should get it.

This guys basically became popular between WOTLK And CATA, giving out information and videos about the beta access he got. with over 300,000 subs he became I became one of his daily viewers during that expansion transition.

Mainly WOW PVP based I think he'll help give a PVP perspective to the AVG wow player interested in FFXIV
I think if SE gave these guys beta access they'll for sure at least spark some interested in a game that has been long been dead to the outside world. I know after reading all the articles, comments and stuff about the new Realm Reborn trailer. I'm really Dishearten about all the bad talk and people loyal to the game still fighting against a sea of negativity.
Much like the community here, we would like "OUR" MMO to survive and not depend on china to keep it a float, we don't want to be like SWTOR.
as long FFXIV 2.0 can back it's shit up against 1.0, then this is free advertisement.
