I feel this way as well. If the setting itself is anime-based, then I don't mind it. ..But this isn't anime and, while this is Final Fantasy, it also has a bit of realism and physics to it. If I see someone wielding two swords and flipping around in full armor like wannabe Clouds, I'm out.
That being said, I do enjoy group roleplay, but I also enjoy things that just.. come together. Plots and whatnot are perfectly fine, but I don't like defined ends. Instead, I like to throw things together and let characters interact as they would without anything to restrain their actions. To me, it allows for the best (and most authentic) outcomes of the roleplay itself.
That's not to say I won't RP things that are planned. I will, but if I already know how it's going to end, I feel forced to not allow my character to act how he normally would and otherwise restrained to ensure the story meets the expected end.
I also am not very fond of running content as RP, as then I feel too restrained by the game and its mechanics. My character isn't interested in running through the same caverns of Sastasha for the thirtieth time trying to save the same people from the same fate. At some point, he'll just say that the people constantly being captured deserve what they get.
