If, like me, you are new to Final Fantasy XIV you might be curious about what 1.0 was like before it was 'Reborn'. I came across a link to the story cutscenes on the current FF forum. I found it really interesting to see Thancred as he was then and Momodi. I won't be watching all of it because it is about 5 hrs long, but I enjoyed the first few.
You should start it at 14 mins in because he spends a fair bit of time talking to his twitch tv audience before getting started.

ETA: I also came across this Youtube video made by a 1.0 player showing how the game was, the sound in the video is poor his mic is not great, but I LOVE what he said about legacy players at the end. It makes me happy to be playing on a legacy server :)
