They can receive tells and Linkshell invites, but can't make outgoing ones. Most of the trial limitations are outbound. FFXIV Support Center on Free Trials

Would the limitations be too restrictive for roleplaying, do you feel?
For the most part, this basically means all RP would have to be out in the open. No /tells for private messages, no creating parties (but you can join one), etc. You can unlock dyes, but you can't unlock glamours to change the gear model. And other players can't really help you advance in the game with crafted gear and whatnot. It's certainly still playable though!
