Can we finally please have a proper game client launcher in 2019?

It doesn't have a launcher or browser the game just loads up directly like any other console title.

Do you think it would be possible with FFXIV's console version too?
As in how Diablo 3 is launched through the Blizz app launcher on PC while it can be launched as I think I understood you saying that it does get launched without a launcher or browser.

Possibly, if they can find another way of doing the login/one time code check then yeah, maybe through a stand alone app or the phone app perhaps.

When you play diablo or Overwatch on console, the game boots up, you'll see a server connections check and after that it's straight to the main menu of the game. There is no redirection to any browser or anything. Also players don't need to have any account with Blizzard to play their games on console, so I imagine that's why there is lack of launcher requirements.

Interesting...
Could be why the FFXIV was held back the same from the beginning until now.
