In a word, no.
My characters have a life, they are not immortal, so they do die. But there is a story there to play. I may retire them and put them out of the way, but I expect I would always leave the opportunity for them to return.
In other dice based games where RNG can kill you, then yes I have had characters die permanently. But for me my RP is now more about the role play and less about mechanics.
If I was to take my char out in FFXIV, then I would probably just re-purpose the toon with a new look, name and character.
