Maybe I should be a bit more detailed about what I mean by their version of 1.0 to 5.0 storyline....

When I say this I mean THEIR own version of 1.0 to 5.0 storyline.

For them their history is different thus their version of their Journey to stop the Ascians will obviously take different events but lead to certain similar conclusions in their own way.

For example, for Arbert he never met the Scions because they do not exist in the First but instead his Journey resulted in meeting his Friends that also became the WoL/WoD thus they replaced the Scions in both people and encounters. Through this they took their jounrey to defeat the Primals of their world thus they earned their reputation for being the WoL in the First and on that journey discovered the Ascians.

However, then their Garlean Empire invaded their version of Eorzea which lead to them to try to convience their world's version of the City States to unify against them which eventually lead to starting the war against their version of the Garlean Empire and after etc (such as in their version of 3.0, Hraesvelgr is Evil and was killed by Arbert but there was never a Dragonsong war but just a natural war between Humans defending themselves and Dragons invading) and etc then by their version of 5.0 it ended with the Flood of Light.

Their History from Point A to Point B to Point C are vastly different but the results are the same in some way.

There is a saying that "it is not the ending that matters sometimes but the journey itself." A persona may see a similar ending to the different journies but how different the journey itself is what really determine the difference in History.

We will most likely get a better picture of what Arbert's Journey entails once we reach the First since I do expect to see some Side-quests or maybe part of the Main Storyline to actually show us what Arbert went through since part of our goal is to not get the same ending Arbert and his friends got being the Flood of Light.
