Which realm is the biggest role play community on Final Fantasy?
Balmung - Although you'll have to pay the transfer fee to get here. The bonus is you pay for 1 transfer and can move as many characters as you want from X to Y so make sure you do that in one go. Even if you don't plan on alts you won't get another chance to make 7 additional characters.
Are new players/rp'ers welcomed?
Definitely.
What's the role playing like?
It covers every spectrum and works pretty much like in WoW with /say and /em. You'll find FC's and Linkshells ranging from light hearted maid cafes to dark criminal organisations. Adventuring Companies, Merc Companies, Grand Companies take your pick! Depending on where you come from you might find it a little less serious and darker themed compared to WoW (I did).
And most important. How active is the roleplay on this game?
Again depending on where you come from on WoW and your faction you might find it a bit underwhelming. There is a lot of roleplay going on 24/7 but compared to WoW it is a lot more FC/Group based rather than open world stuff you easily walk into. Finding a good FC or Linkshell (Chat channel) is a must unless your networking skills are pretty amazing. You'll see lots of people standing about with 'Roleplayer - Walk Ups welcome!' in their searchinfo but they are very rarely in character so expect some frustration if you take the random approach option.
