Getting an error everytime I try to connect on a specific character

This sounds like a server issue and not a personal issue. I just hope it can be resolved soon with some sort of apology to those affected by this...
Because I’ve tried everything up to reinstalling the entire game and so far, nothing. :c

An apology w/game time would be very nice.

Uninstalling and then re-installing didn't help, for me...hopefully it's different for you.

A fix to the issue or even an update on it would be nice before this but I agree.

Anything but silence would be nice at this point
At this rate my only hope is that whenever the next game patch comes out and they reset the instance servers our characters will be free. If they aren’t by that point I’ll just drop this game like a hot potato. Not worth being subbed for this headache

Thank you for contacting the North American SQUARE ENIX Support Center. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us for assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may be experiencing while attempting to log in. This specific error is an error regarding character data. The error is most commonly caused by an improper disconnection from the servers during gameplay. As the game servers still recognize the character as being logged in due to the improper disconnection, the character cannot be logged into again. Unfortunately, there is no manual way to communicate to the servers that the character is no longer logged in, nor is there a way to manually log the character out. The character will eventually be recognized as logged out, though this time can vary depending on multiple factors, such as the area the character was in when the disconnection happened. We recommend trying to log into that character at a later time, but if the problem persists, please submit a bug report within the official FINAL FANTASY XIV forums at: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forum.php
