The role playing refers to the gaming genre. It means you develop your character by upgrading the level or gear or stats. It doesnt really mean "role playing" like pretending to be something or someone else.
That roleplay stuff you mean has never been popular. Only since i would say around shadowbringers these people started popping up. Sure there were some before. Probably even during ARR but it was a very small part of the community.

Having combat to progress doesn't mean its combat focused if it was jobs would more complex harder to play and HAVE ALOT MORE ABILITYS, and there would be more to do with combat than just sleeping your way through it on auto pilot for 90% of the game,

as for that remark thats false, most of these rpgs are and have taken aspects of DND and as for your popular thats also DND/baulder gate and many of these others are what lead to the popularity in games like ff and rpgs as hole, when people want an actrual combat game they will just play something that has combat THAT IS FUN lol, games like this wouldn't exist if it wasnt for ROLEPLAYERS lol

as for your remark Want some examples in ff terms in final fantasy 7 you legit have to crossdress cloud go into a sex club that (legit has bdsm items in the background ) to rescue a character, and there multiple other things in ff that show how sexual the game series as a hole is I mean there are even some monsters that Lore wise only go after females lol
