I rewatched the video to investigate this further (and mostly just to watch it again). I'm pretty sure it's still a weathervane, but you're absolutely right. In the brief clip (even while paused), you really can't see enough scale or depth to say for sure. It does look a LOT like a real person.
There is no way that is a weather vane. It is the pose they have had Dragoons in for all the promotional and desktop backgrounds. Hell, it is basically the additional combat pose we have for Dragoon currently. It just makes sense for a Dragoon to be at the highest point in order to jump a dragon.I rewatched the video to investigate this further (and mostly just to watch it again).

But if they were going to make a DRG weathervane, of course they would use the classic DRG pose for it. Besides, when was the last time you saw a DRG get engulfed in flames instead of moving?There is no way that is a weather vane.

Whether it's a weathervane or a real person, a DRG weathervane would be awesome, and I want one for my house.
Individual Limit Break bars, please. I'm tired of almost never getting to use it. -_-
Alternatively, add the 1-hour cooldown abilities from FFXI as our "individual limit breaks". (just to note, this is one of the very few things I'd like to see from XI)
Chrono Trigger-esque Dual Techs would also be cool to see.
I doubt this would come to pass as a lot of the FFXI 1-2 hours are either in game already or impossible.
For example: Benediction, Soul (Battle) Voice, Perfect Dodge, and Astral (aether) flow are already in; Spirit Surge, Mikage, Tabula Rasa, and many others are flatout impossible, and Mijin-Gakure is just a bad idea due to trolls.
Most of these abilities are simply on long cooldowns, which is the single-player version of LBs. The cooldowns are just about 5 minutes or less instead of an hour.
Raiddungeons with more than 4 bosses
A less dependent on RNG BLM job
lesser stupid Shard-farm
more stuff in the cash shop. delicious tears nom nom nom
Carbuncles for SMN (or any end-game viable class; as long as it's a ranged DPS that uses magic - OK that really narrows it down doesn't it.)
Better anti-aliasing than blur-O-vision FXAA. Maybe what they used in Infamous: Second Son which I heard gave pretty good image quality.

physics assisted animations like in 1.0
It's most certainly not going to happen but...by god, it was so smooth and sexy.
