Clarification
After further consideration, we have come to the conclusion that the previous news item on the use of third-party tools ("Warning About Using Third Party Tools") contained some ambiguous information.
Therefore, we would like to issue the following clarification regarding character deletion:
As a policy, we never delete a character as a penalty in any event, regardless of the circumstances involved.
We hope this makes our position clearer, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

So this doesn't necessarily mean that you should use third-party utilities, but they point out what we already know, that if you exit FFXI improperly due to a third party app, they're no more responsible for restoring your character data than if you accidentally hit the Windows key and lost your character data.
