Do you have the Storyboard of the whole Intro?

Yes, I do. I might upload it somewhere when I have the time.

No. As far as I know, nothing like that exists.

in the credits you can hear the original singing (but without part 0:59 till 1:22)

Oh -- when Avril126 asked about the original version, I assumed she meant the version that included the missing verse (the segment you mentioned). Of course, you can hear the version without that verse in both the intro and the credits.

I really like the unused verse, it really calls back to Rosella's decision (regarding Edgar) in KQIV. It emphasizes the fact that she's not a 'selfish brat' (like a lot of people seem to think) but an independent girl who just isn't ready to settle down and wait for her 'happily ever after'.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

You're very welcome. I never really understood why Rosella is sometimes labeled as selfish, either. Fiercely independent, yes, but selfish...not so much.

Thank you. I doubt that there is a version with the missing lyrics out there, but it would certainly be interesting if there was.

As for superior intros, I'm sure some people would consider KQ6's intro as being the best of the series, not to mention the most technologically advanced, with those 3D graphics.

I wish they would have kept the "I'm not prepared to set my freedom on the shelf" line .... the music builds a bit here for perhaps emphasis in the midi version... and it's a nice moment that shows Rosella's spunk and independence.
