By any chance, you mean this?

I only bothered to look up the healer’s part at the moment but they’ve clearly uploaded the other parts 3 days ago at the time I wrote this reply so it shouldn’t be too far to scroll down their video list.

From quickly watching through those videos and using Google translate on descriptions, they're not the same thing. They're more like a video Hall of the Novice going over topics related only to party content (coordinating attacks, dodging mechanics, buffs and debuffs, etc). They looked like tutorials intended for those who already started the game and are just getting into party content, not new players looking for general tips about the new player experience.

The starter guide in English, French and German definitely come across as more of a marketing tool than a detailed tutorial.

Going back through their video lists for the past several months, everything else seems to be the usual patch trailers, live letters, Primals videos, etc. I can't find other videos that seems to be related to new player guides.

Maybe there is some other starter guide for JP or maybe they haven't released the JP version of this starter guide yet?

If I were to guess what they're trying to do, they created the starters guide in the western languages as a marketing tool to try to draw in new players to help populate the new OCE and EU worlds, and what would have been new NA worlds this month if that hadn't ended up delayed until November.

The party guides released in JP may still end up released later for the other regions once localization is completed. There was no voice dialog - all information in those videos was captioned so it shouldn't be a difficult to change the captions to the correct localization by region. Certainly they seemed a good visual aid for players that would be useful if they did add localization.

I've also included other parts of the videos in my edited post, but you are right about one thing. It's more of a marketing tool than anything else. There wasn't any of similar videos (as far as I can see) uploaded in JP.
