This has always been my biggest complaint with this game. Story is all well and good, but I'd prefer to do it my own leisure, not something I have to do to access every single core thing in the game. It's even worse on alts where I just don't even want to bother and mash A through all dialog or B > Skip Cutscene so I can get through it as reasonably fast as possible. They're just for RP and specializing in other jobs, anyway, I read and watch on Vetiver so I know what's going on but even then I struggle at times just because I feel forced to do it just to keep up.
Disagree so much. Head tracking, interactive furniture, emotes and poses that are actually usable, housing, etc. actually make this game much more immersive to RP in than anything else I've played.
The only things I even miss from other MMOs when it comes to RP is the skin library and dye system from GW2 and SWG's sandbox. Everything else, FFXIV does better for me and I'm willing to sacrifice them because of it.

They build things from a design perspective, not in a way that makes things easily accessible and convenient for RPers.
