The question is what is considered "Character Data"

(im typing the same thing i already have..)

Is character data referring to "features" and "looks" data

-If its just the features and looks (which most likely it is) then progression data will not be carried over into the retail version of FFXIV:ARR, like every other MMO's beta testing (including FFXIV 1.0)

or is it referring to features, looks and also "progression" data..

-If its referring to both (which highly it is not) then whoever deleted FFXIV 1.0 will not have character data transferred over into ARR. (via Triairy's comment, and other statements made by other reps/devs.)
And i answered that already also
Do they really need to spell out that you will keep char looks, level, items, progression?
And progression isn't saved on computer. Can you imagine formatting computer, coming back to game, and all your progression is gone? really? im pretty sure that even if you deleted your SE account, your progression data would still be there. Even if you delete your char in game, the progression data is still there, since they can restore deleted chars.
I dunno why people over analyze the whole thing for the sake of being pessimistic.
If they state that char data will be carried over, then there's no reason to nitpick the whole thing, and think they only mean looks; it would be retarded if they only save looks, since it only takes a few min to make a char.
