It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish in PVE. There's a lot of RP to be had in the 1-50 zones, and those are entirely open to you after about level 15? If you begin in Gridania or Ul'dah, you can run to everywhere on the mainland, while Limsa is stuck on the island until the dungeon quests open up. You can technically move around even earlier if you have access to an FC house with a teleport crystal on the other region.
The cities alone feature a ton of RP spread between FC plots, random tavern RP, all kinds of events, and everything in between. Admittedly you're locked out of Ishgard for a long time since it requires progress through all of the 2.x content, but that is by no means where the bulk of RP is happening right now.
I'm accustomed to the casual-level-60 cycle now, which means I do some dailies and dungeons and PVE for about an hour a night and then spend the rest socializing or roleplaying.
