If you wish to discover on your own, the 2.X raid series explains it. Ethys Asher has a half hour video covering it all.

If you wish to skip to a summary, Square made a cinematic.

Posted the pure cutscene version for those who want to see the original 1.0 storyline cutscenes that lead to the events of A Realm Reborn.

The Waning of the Sixth Sun glossed over a good deal of 1.0's original story though - it only really concentrated on showcasing the '7th Umbral Era' events that were directly leading into ARR involving the formation of the Grand Companies and the summoning of Dalamud (not surprising - much of 1.0's original starting city story and the truncated 'Path of the Twelve' story was cannibalized for ideas and themes used in developing ARR's story, so SE probably did not want to create big spoilers to ARR's story in The Waning of the Sixth Sun).

Alas, unless you watch player recordings of those original story cutscenes and dialogue scenes from 1.0 they're now gone forever I'm afraid.

A heavy price we pay for the restart but if SE put the effort into things they may beable to create a new content that allows players to experience 1.0 storyline in 5.0 and X.X content.

It would also open up multiple use for New game+ where players can experience New Game+ through Legacy standpoint and dialogues (unlocked if players beat reboot 1.0 storyline) or New Adventurer standpoint and dialogues for their 2.0 storyline in New Game+

Almost time so let us take the time to revisit how this story began.
