You're absolutely right. It will be a very difficult choice for characters with large families or ties to player-made NPCs, and significantly easier for players who have very few ties that would need to be carried over. Those that would choose not to bring family and friends along with them would obviously be suddenly stuck with a character who's family was presumably killed during Dalamud's destructive rain. Pan that out over the community, and it's quite a few characters with a shockingly similar background all of a sudden.
However, for people who want to start fresh, It's an absolutely perfect chance to do so. Whether your future character is perhaps a relative of your 1.0 character (All depending on how long the gap is. Who knows. Could be 10 years, could be 20, could be 50, or even more.)
Personally, I'm too attached to my character to imagine killing him off, so I'll most likely make due with what lore we're given.
