While I have yet to endeavour into an in character fight on Final Fantasy XIV, I have participated in numerous role play altercations that were text centered in prior online games. From my experience, I will confidently state that the detrimental factor in the success of text centered role play altercations is proper out of character communication with the respective player.
It is important not debilitate oneself as a player by not speaking forth and expressing the parameters you wish to uphold. Remain open to presenting what you do not wish to occur in the altercation. It all simply reverts back to properly communicating out of character.
I personally encourage text centered altercations because it greatly challenges the player's creativity while also testing one's ability to perform the familiar give and take function all role players ought to place into practice. In turn, this promotes and encourages healthy balance within the community.
