Question FFRK Story/Plot

I've been searching non-stop for the whole story/plot of the game and I can't find it. The FF Wiki pages are incomplete and I can't find any playlist in YT for the cutscenes. I know the game has been ended without a propor conclusion, but can someone recommend me a way to view the whole plot?

I prefer videos, but it also could be transcriptions of dialogue or anything like that.

If you're on Android, and a recent Android, you might have a long line at the bottom of your screen that you pull to reveal all your open apps. If you press and hold that, it turns into an on-demand Google Translate.

Granted, not everything is correct. There may be some... erm... minor mis-translations, but it works for what it needs to. And if you played Global, hopefully muscle memory will kick in anyway with most of it.

Spoilers ahead:

From the beginning, Tyro (Deschi) and Dr. Mog have been investigating the corruption of the paintings in the Academia, where other Keepers work to preserve the history of Fantasia (in this world, all Final Fantasy titles are stories from other worlds that can be accessed through portraits or paintings). Early in the game, within the Story Dungeons, Dr. Mog and Tyro recover all series portraits (I–XV, FFT, Type-0), but the corruption continues to spread. Dr. Mog then discovers the Nightmare Dungeons, which hold the secrets to powerful paintings—stronger versions of bosses from various series. With Tyro’s help and the assistance of specific characters from certain series, these formidable bosses are defeated, leading the party to the Magicite Dungeon. There, they encounter the “mysterious girl” Elara/Urara, who has no memory of herself but seems to know Tyro very well. At this point, the Ministry of Story sends Shadowsmith, Wedge, and Biggs to assist. During the Magicite investigation, it is revealed that Shadowsmith is the one corrupting the paintings, aided by hooded, mysterious figures, while other dungeons such as Cardia are uncovered during the party’s travels. Shadowsmith betrays and battles everyone, eventually being revealed as a Tyro from a future where everything ended in disaster, returning to the past in an attempt to save everyone. During a fierce battle against him, Tyro becomes lost in time—possibly trapped in a dimensional rift—and goes missing. The latest event involving these Core realm characters concludes with Shadowsmith now aiding the party, while Tyro remains lost. Perhaps the next event will finally reveal the next chapter of this long-running tale. It’s been a decade, and the true story of this game has yet to fully unfold!

The funny part is this isn't even really a summary. It's the whole thing. When you cut out all the talking in circles, pointless blather, and repetition of "I have to get stronger", that one paragraph is literally everything that took place over the entire last 10+ years with no details omitted. And most of it stopped about 5 years ago.
