I'm very new to FFXIV (just over a week) but from some RP attempts in the past in other games - I've had some amusing success by dressing in poor clothing, the more raggy the better, then squatting outside an Inn or other medium-busy area and offering shoe-shines to the high end clientele passing by for a few 'Gil, gold, marks' whatever. In most games I get some good participation.Â
Complimenting the craftsmanship of their footwear, gossiping about random happenings, and general waffle can be an easy opening (whilst including action lines of what you're doing "pulls out a cloth, and begins buffing" etc) and makes for easy conversation. Quite quickly you demonstrate your RP'ing ability, and potentially make some new contacts.Â
If this really isn't an activity that suits your character - then make an alt, and if you establish a raport with someone then you can let them know your main in a /tell and maybe be invited to bigger events.
Just a thought.
Happy RP'ing
