This is awesome... Why couldn't we have this?

We worked very hard in 1.x and given a ton of suggestion, heck... we even gone as far as to present whole game mechanics to rescue 1.x (even at alpha stage)... I still miss most of those suggestions! Its not that they ignored us, but its a bit sad because we had hopes for 2.x when they said they will start anew! There is no excuse to not listen, when you start complete new...

In 1.0 alpha the forum was full of feedback and very detailed suggestions - the game was rushed but i guess Tanaka thought to add some of them
(Tanaka had a vision, its not entirely his fault for having bad programmers or other members - dont let him burden all blame alone!)
In 1.x then we still continued with our suggestions because Yoshi-P taken over - some ideas were implemented (GM reporters, garlean ambush, combat changes, and so on)
In 2.0 alpha forum i still have seen good detailed suggestions but untill now i do not know why they got rid of most of 1.x mechanics the players liked... (chocobo carawans, hamlet, and so on...)
In 2.x then we had to see what FFXIV has become and somehow the suggestions stopped... its as if the players given up or just getting bored to be slapped into face once again...
I understand why they deleted old forums and so, but i really hope they copied some of the good topics because there are suggestion they should consider to improve the game even now with 3.x

Square Enix should consider to make more polls about "changes" currently it looks a lot like they have lost the connection to their playerbase!
Lets say they suggest something and then the community discuss about it... it must not even be open topic, heck even a closed topic for a limited group would help this game more than the current state!
I will not say Yoshi-P is making bad decisions but sometimes i think he is lost in little details. (its now the 3rd relic with just changed colors nomnom would go berserk ^^)

PS: I hated how they have made the "Circle of Knowing" members to "normal" and even "weak" charakters in 2.x ... If you played 1.x you know that they had something special on them but i like the direction 3.x is going because it seems they one by one are getting their "special" ability - its like a "making of"

Edit: Whats with the discussion if the video is real or not? Why do you care? The question is if you like that to happen in the story or not, stop destroying that with stupid discussions you cant even prove!
