To clarify in light of our current understanding: No, Midgardsormr is absolutely not a primal. He is in fact an ancient space dragon; however the spectacle over Silvertear might easily have been mistaken for a primal by the witnesses and combatants. Secondly, the serpent that attacks the player en route to Limsa Lominsa is almost certainly not Leviathan but one of the ancient sea serpents upon which I have elsewhere posited that the Sahagins' image of Leviathan is probably inspired.

The main story of FFXIV 1.0 right up to the calamity, as well as it can be presented in 30 minutes! I could not cover all the sidequests and filler dialogue here, but it should still give you a highly comprehensive understanding of the background leading into ARR. If you want me to clarify or expand on any part of the video, please comment below.
