You should watch the 3 part documentary as well.
When the servers for 1.0 originally went down, this cinematic went up shortly after. The writers wrote the shutdown of the game to update to 2.0 into the lore with the Calamity, and this cutscene bridges the gap.
For even more context (and content), you could do a video on the massive documentary done by Noclip. It's 3 parts and a few hours worth of watch, but you get content out of it.
Also, you could look into the Rise and Fall of FFXIV by Speakers Network. Lukile put a ton work into that series. He also has other adjacent series on his channel with lots of interesting information.
Side note: The old man is indeed Louisoix, and he happens to be Alisaie and Alphinaud's grandfather. That's why they have so much inside knowledge of everything going on and familiarity with the Scions. Louisoix was the leader of the group that would eventually become the Scions.
Once you've finished the full quest line for A Realm Reborn, a raid series opens up that not only fills in the gaps regarding Louisoix, but also let's you know what Alisaie had been up to.
The servers shut down, then there was this cutscene…after months of us watching Dalamud slowly descend in the sky and the world sink further and further into chaos and Garlemald attacking us from all sides. We did EVERYTHING we could to stop Dalamud's descent, we WON against Nael van Darnus (the one that called the moon down). We even went on a pilgrimage to pray to the Twelve for their intervention….but it wasn't enough….still the moon fell….
Also, the game gets markedly better with each expansion and becomes mindblowingly good by Shadowbringers
fun fact : at the end when the Warrior (Great Axe) whistles for his chocobo, the one he is riding is the same model as the legacy chocobo players were awarded with at the start of ARR if they were subbed for three months during a period of time before the servers went down. also all players of 1.0 got a legacy tattoo on their old character as well, which can still be seen, its on their upper back near the neck. any armor that has that portion of the body exposed you can see it.
FFXIV 1.x never made it to PS3 (it was supposed to, but it never did). FFXIV's PS3 support started with 2.0, which was months from the PS4 hitting the market (PS4 support started in April 2014)
And you're right, he did teleport them to the future; 1.x legacy players had a similar cutscene when they logged into 2.0 for the first time.
