I have a friend who only plays games in first person view. I guess he use to play EQ that way. It's possible to play FFXIV in first person however it is somewhat difficult to tell if your weapon is out. There is anicon on the action bar, but you do not see the weapon swing. Can you add an animation for the weapon in first person view? It looks like in first person your entire character disappears. maybe don't have it hide the weapon? I'm not sure if that would be enough.
