You won't have to wait to download the client/launcher before you ACTUALLY download Heavensward on the 19th. There is no "advantage" other than it's a time saver. There is no getting around the download times on the 19th though.

Yeap. Its just a prep for download. Digital pre load starts on 6/17 for those who went that route.

PlayStation®3 / PlayStation®4 (PSN download version)
After pre-ordering from PlayStation Store, you will be prompted to enable automatic downloads to have the game pre-loaded on your console starting June 17, 2015. The Heavensward software will be available for pre-load two days before Early Access begins and will automatically download to your PS3/PS4 if automatic downloads are enabled.

Do you know if purchasing CE from PS store also enables the client to be downloaded early? (like im reading about from other posts?) After I preordered my Digital CE, I was prompted for the auto-download but aside from that, nothing else has happened.

If nothing else happened, you're ok. The fact that people were downloading the client early was actually a problem. We (on PSN) will be able to pre-load the client on the 18th~19th.

You can check the countdown through the Library, accessing FFXIV ARR - Add on - Heavensward, that's when you may download the client. I think it's available June 16, just the client. I still have no clue if Early access will prompt us to download the entire game to us on digital or just early access portion.
