For those new players I just wanted to compile all the trailers we have gotten because I think it would help you understand ffxiv a little better. No spoilers in the first half. Will warn you when they begin.
Original 2010 trailer
Our introduction to the derplander and crew. Shows us how Mor Dhona looked prior to the battle of silvertear lake and shows us the end of that battle when Midgardsomr takes down the Garlean ship which you now see in Mor Dhona.

The End of an Era + Flames of Truth + A New Beginning
These are 2 trailers, both showing the End of an Era where we get to see the Battle of Carteneau, which is heavily discussed all throughout the game, the fall of Dalamud and the destruction of Bahamut. This is also one of the few remaining glimpses of the great Louisoux and him sending us Legacy players to the start of A Realm Reborn.
In the first you also get to see the extender version where Louisoux stopped the complete destruction of the realm.
And in the second it cuts away after we are teleported to the future and us Legacy players triumphant return to the realm. One really cute moment in this, is the lore behind the Legacy chocobo having blackened feathers is due to your chocobo having spent the 5 years between the Battle of Carteneau and your return searching for you. So when you whistle and your chocobo comes running squealing with joy, its one of those 'right in the feels' moments and still is why I often still use my legacy chocobo today.
Also the beardless Cid we knew and loved from version 1.

Heavensward
The intro cinematic showing the events that ended ARR and our sojourn to Ishgard. Shows a lot of dark possible story lines, but the story was driven to be a little more light on the request of the higher ups at SE according to Yoshi P

Stormblood
This cinematic trailer gives us our first glimpse at a mysterious protagonist, the Ala Mhigan territories and the far East. Also derplander got ripped and became known from here on out as the daddylander lol. Looking back on it now, this is also the least exciting trailer we have had thus far as it has very little substance and is mostly just "hey everyone look at the perdy".

Shadowbringers
Likely the best cinematic we have gotten since the End of an Era, this cinematic is the most recent and shows the end of stormblood and our arrival in the First. As well as giving us glimpses at characters new and old. Gotta give Soken a shout out here as well for likely the best song this game has besides Answers, the theme of End of an Era. This is how a game trailer should be done. Full of substance while still showing off all the perdy.
