0:00 - 0:13 ... CRT TV/monitor with static and switching on an older PC with WoL from 1.0/Legacy doing things.
0:14 - 0:15 ... fade to white then fade back to 2.0 WoL starting his journey.
0:15 - 0:40 ... WoL leveling up / doing some early story with various cuts.
0:41 - 0:59 ... WoL doing various dungeons / etc. progressing to his level 50 AF1 gear/etc.
1:00 - 1:07 ... WoL looking up at the 2.x primals (Ramuh, Leviathan, etc.) Each major note would have a primal show up as a bust/upper half. The last note being Shiva between both with her full body. She'd then blow a kiss at the screen forcing the screen to be barraged with snow / ice and fading to a watercolor / paper-texture white effect.
1:08 - 1:34 ... Showing the events of 2.5 / 2.55 where bad things happen in Thanalan / Ul'dah / etc.
1:34 - 1:47 ... transition back from snow/ice to show the WoL going through Ishgard and doing a few things in west coerthas. (Bonus points if you transition it so the snow/ice/white turns into a collage of Ysayle's hair and she's sneakily watching the WoL heading to Ishgard/etc.)
1:48 - 2:14 ... Events proceed through heavensward pretty quickly. This is probably the hardest storyboard portion to pull off. At the end of this, it would quickly show Omega and Shinryu clash into each-other, fading to white.
2:14 - 2:40 ... camera flythrough starts at Gyr Abania, going through Rhalgr's reach to check up on the WoL for a hot minute. then transition to Yanxia/etc. with him going to meet with domans. (Imagined the transition to be a blurry close-up wipe past cloth/stone on an NPC / building to Yanxia/etc.)
2:40 - 2:54 ... Yotsuyu steps down suddenly, appearing giant / foreboding looking down at WoL / everyone with a smirk/smug. Other villains (Mainly the garleans) get introduced around her with each major note/etc.
2:54 - 3:07 ... fighting said villains, with Tsukuyomi being defeated last and fading to the white through her hair, moon/etc.
3:07 - 3:32 ... some remembering scenes / etc. of scions and whatnot.
3:33 - 3:51 ... fade from white / etc. to Ghimlyt Dark and the WoL fighting things.
3:52 - 3:58 ... scions succumbing to the thing each major note, then a close-up on the WoL's face, then turning to behind his head and zooming out...
3:59 - 4:10 ... WoL stares up in the new weird aetherial plane shown off in the 4.5 trailer near the end. Wondering what will happen now.
4:11 - onward ... Slowly zoom out from an LCD/Widescreen television/monitor with either a better PC / PS4. Then the screen glitches a bit and the static comes back then TV/monitor turns off.
