I'd also just mention that its a great way to meet people, since you can just swing by and sit at a table with someone or next to them at the bar and try to strike up a conversation. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it can be fun
Ultimately, though, it seems best as a place to mingle and meet people, rather than as a destination for serious RP itself. But for that purpose its terrific.
I think just like in real life how there is a lot of flirting and stuff going around in places that revolve around alcohol, you are going to find the same here, but its not all flirty. Denn for one likes to start bar fights because she is awesome like that
. There is some open world RP as well, not as much as tavern, but that is probably because the taverns are an easy location for people to all gather together at instead of being spread out in various parts of the world. I do catch people walking around quite often though and sometimes just stalk them for fun which probably weirds them outÂ

I'm still waiting for a full moon so that I can ring a cowbell while drinking a cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice through a complex organization of five bendy straws.
On-topic, as far as random open world RP encounters go... I rode alongside Ragnar Eisenberg once on the way back to Ul'dah. Snail's pace. Suffice to say that Osric was a little confused as to why the man wasn't putting his chocobo through its paces. YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER, Y'KNOW.

RP in open world is unfortunately rare, but it's always wonderful when it does happen. A few days ago I was walking to a sanctuary instead of running, just for the hell of it, and because the weather was nice. Imagine my surprise when, among a pack of FATE-grinders on their mounts, a man stopped their chocobo to tell me to be careful and warning me against a recent strike from a band of bandits (I think he was referring to a FATE that had just ended). He left after I thanked him, and I was really happy of that little moment of realism in the open world.

I... I just can't hold it in any longer.
OP, to answer your question: The RP is in my pants.
