Hello! Balmung is indeed very active on the RP scene.
It's my first time RPing in a game, and I got into it just by talking to people I saw RPing. Generally every night there are at least 30-40 people in hotspots like the Quicksand.
Other areas like Ishgard, Limsa, and Gridania, usually have 10-15 or more. RP FCs and players hold frequent open world events that are advertised. For example the Grindstone is a public fighting tournament held every Saturday for almost two years now.
In short, yes there is lots of open world RP, and I think you'd enjoy it here.
