I think it's time we start seeing some data in regards to the changes being made.

Depends. Reddit and Twitter lean overwhelmingly positive while here things tend to be more critical. Listening to too much of one side would logically only do more harm than good.

The ideal game for the Twitter crowd is like something out of the April Fool's manga that actually got made and published, little more than a visual novel with comfort characters where not much happens.

The ideal game for some forum posters is difficult to define. Conversations here tend to focus more on gameplay though people's opinions on that ranges from reasonable things like "please give White Mage more fun attack spells" to "please tack dots back onto Summoner."

The middle ground is somewhere in between.

The ideal game for forum posters would have a story so unrelentingly bleak half the playerbase would top themselves before they can even start to put in the several years required to play even one job at an acceptable level

In all seriousness, it would be interesting to know where they get there feedback from. It feels like most changes are the result of looking at numbers and deciding how to respond internally, with only the scantest attention paid to reddit, twitter and forum comments.
