but a simple check; has player character reached quest X? Y/N? And set title and intro accordingly.
That's not possible though because you can have multiple characters on the account at differing points in the story, and character selection/creation occurs after the title, so there would be too much complexity trying to flag story progression to determine what 'title/opening' to show.

Irony is, contrary to how it seems much of what the EW opening shows... actually... isn't all that accurate to what actually happens during the expansion so the context just isn't there (really, EW's trailer doesn't spoil all that much - just saying that you go to the moon and there's monsters there, Garlemald goes to hell and other things happen, Sharlayan has a special aetheryte, and oh and Mr Grumpy comes back.), so unless you have context it's just a lot of spectacle happening.

Maybe something like how FFXI's title screen just had the one default opening movie and then showed random views of places in the world, with expansions shown as a list of titles beside the game's logo.
