I've done this once, and it was really fun! But we cleared out the instance before we started RPing. (We actually did this twice in the end due to time.) And RP'd out our own scenario and monsters in the given environment, instead - giving us more freedom and flexibility VS the in-game scenario.
I did IC clears back in WoW, and I always found it kind of stressful switching so quickly between "modes" of gameplay... and while it wasn't an issue for me (I type ridiculously fast), I know some of my friends said they felt like they couldn't really join in because by the time they were done typing, we were fighting the next thing. We fixed that by taking it slower between groups in future and doing stuff like everyone switching to level 1 weapons and everyone but the tank switching to level 1 gear, but... with 90 minute limiters on FFXIV instances, maybe another solution would be better?
