From what I recall, it didn't have them back when A Realm Reborn was first released? Unless I was being blind, which is a distinct possibility.

Nnnope! I wish.

Just takes getting used to most actions being done inside the chat window. There aren't any chat bubble add-ons that I've ever heard of. This game's very much against add-ons.

Meaning, can you challenge other player characters to duels (/duel, etc.) outside of designated PvP instances? I can't seem to remember such a feature existing, so figured I'd ask.

Nnnope! People have asked about that for a while; I don't even know if it's on the list of "things to do" for the dev team at this point.

There's nothing I despise in WoW's RP community quite as much as when players use emotes and/or dice rolls to RP combat instead of... actually using the combat mechanics the game provides. Is that something common in FFXIV? Or do people generally resort to the game's combat mechanics?

No, that's pretty much how we do things here. There's no dueling to speak of, so everything I've seen done was through emotes, dice rolls, or both.

Or is all PvP restricted to strictly controlled PvP instances akin to battlegrounds, with timers/lack of chat channels/other restrictions?

Uhhh... I haven't done much PvP in this game, but I don't think RP is viable in it. It's all battlegrounds stuff like you guessed. This game never had much of a focus on PvP in general.

Some questions regarding FFXIV RP.
