1. I'm not quite sure what you're asking here with this example? No one really cares enough to spread rumors about your character even if they are futa, from what I've seen in open world RP. I've never seen anyone seriously judge someone for playing a certain race. Saying miqo'te rarely follow the lore is broad - your friends may be talking about the fact that Miqo'te aren't played exclusively in tribe storylines, or the fact that male miqo'te are rare, but they're reasonable stretches when you have as many players in FFXIV as there are. Not everyone wants to play the tribe miqo'te dynamic or roll catgirls.
2. There is no solid PvP community. The PvP system is more of a running joke at this point.
3. Everyone plays dps, tanks and heals are the lesser chosen for obvious reasons. Just play what you want - world party finder have taken the difficulty out of getting the parties you need.Â
4. N/A, I'm on Balmung. However, regardless of server, even in the populated RP server you have to make the effort to put yourself out there for RP. There is open world RP, but a majority of it happens with pre-established groups. Cities are usually the hubs for roleplayers and random interactions.
5. It's pretty impossible to answer how many people follow lore (Balmung has 50k players for example) and there is no one to police whether people follow it - it's dependent on what players you RP with and their own personal limits/liberties, and whether it crosses lines of lore that they prefer to adhere to. As for the lore being sustained, I'm unsure of what you mean about it being solid or whether they make the effort to sustain it.. are you asking whether the story is consistent?
Honestly, you should play the game vs. asking the community questions, because ultimately we don't know your tastes or what you're looking for in your content/roleplaying experience. I don't think there's any insight we can give you that isn't too basic/broad with these questions, so you might bite the bullet and just play the trial.
