Can I delete my character and use the same name again?

Better use the change name system cause you might end up being not being able to create a new char on your server regarding the restrictions :/

Yes you can, but be careful I have an alt with a mis-typed name. I want to recreate her, but my server is perpetually locked for character creation. However, one day I will happen to try and it will happen to be unlocked at that time and all will be well. but on a crowded server, you'll need patience to re-create your character.

as for this date, I can confirm it is doable, I just transferred to Phantom while had an alt hold my name, and my goal name, deleted the one with my new name less than an hour ago, and changed my character name to it. (no i'ts not a joke nor a troll)

Strangely enough for a lot of the fundamental faults FFXIV have, naming is not one of them.

Straight up depressing just how many online games that can't bother to properly implement appropriate naming schemes that doesn't degrade into everyone slapping random numbers, letters or accents all over the place to get their preferred name.
