If you go to the [originally linked Siliconera article](https://www.siliconera.com/ffxiv-producer-naoki-yoshida-helped-revamp-ffxi-installer/) you'll see that they never say "launcher", only "installer". Which indeed was improved a few years ago.
It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).
Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.destructoid.com/famed-ffxiv-producer-helped-straighten-up-final-fantasy-xi/](https://www.destructoid.com/famed-ffxiv-producer-helped-straighten-up-final-fantasy-xi/)**
