Finding random role-play in FFXIV can be tricky. There's a lot of different factors to consider and in many cases people just end up defaulting to 'tavern' role-play in order to get their fix or they rely on attending large events instead...which can be pretty overwhelming/not exactly everybody's cup of tea.
My advice would be to keep an eye on this site for role-players who pique your interest and then PM them with a request to potentially meet up in-game to get something going. I've embraced this route myself and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The key is to be persistent and be proactive.Â
Joining a FC or LS - as others have suggested - is also a great way to open up more opportunities. Finding the right FC or LS may take some trial and error. Don't be afraid to shop around until you find something that fits your schedule and the sort of role-play that you enjoy most. Bear in mind that some LS's and FC's will default to 'tavern' role-play and so you should try and get a feel for what is on offer before committing heavily.
