This is from the translated notes(don't think there's an official English translated version):

Can you not shoot/mock the messenger? Trying not to get colorful here, but I genuinely want to ask if you people live under a rock.
hmmm the english translation doesn't confirm a starting point as well as doesn't confirm 6.1 to be the starting point

Q) What will be the features in Dawntrail that will help old players to get back to the game or even bring new players to the adventures in this new area? How can they avoid getting lost in the current lore and get up-to-date to play Dawntrail? – Jeancarlos Mota, IGN Brasil

Yoshi P: Currently, since patch 6.1, we've implemented a system that allows players to revisit the lore and various characters throughout the stories. We're also contemplating ways to accommodate players who wish to bypass the earlier content and dive straight into the latest offerings.

Interestingly, every time we announce a new expansion, this question arises. I'm sure you're aware, but even with the release of a new expansion pack, our previous content doesn't become outdated. We continually revise and enhance our content, which is largely narrative-driven. I do ponder whether newcomers would be keen to skip directly to the new expansion pack.

Our Duty Support system ensures NPCs accompany you during Main Scenario quests, meaning you don't necessarily have to play alongside other players and can run through the content quickly. We've made it possible to experience the game solo. I understand the comparison to TV series, where someone might want to jump into season 6, for instance. However, we've ensured the earlier 'seasons' are accessible to newcomers. We do want people to play through the story though.

googling stuff doesn't bring anything up either.. it's why I asked. also if you're asking me if i live under a rock... I work a full time 40 hour job OVERNIGHT while at the same time still mourning the death of my younger brother after being killed in a car accident (one of the first deaths) due to Hurricane Idalia... so yeah gaming hasn't been on the top of my list for things. But I thank you for giving me the famistu untranslated site.
