Â It seems the rp style is fairly different to what I'm used to.

Â Â Any suggestions for how I can sort of get involved? Â I'm joining a company tomorrow that is a friend's but it only has 8 people, and I would like to meet more, and I'm looking for people who are comfortable with a newbie to the game and are willing to give constructive points if I stray from the lore.~Ame
Lurk more. Hang out in public spaces, try and get familiar with the ebb and flow of open RP. It's not really much different from other games, I think, aside from the lore stuff.
Lore is pretty much distributed in quests and the main story. There are a myriad crash courses available on the official forums and in lots of threads here, but you'll become pretty aware of how the world works just by playing the game. My advice would be to remain vague and general about your history or character until you feel more cemented in how stuff works in and around Eorzea.
