I've spent some time investigating other RP servers out of curiosity, seeing as RP definitely has enough popularity to grow to other servers outside Balmung. I haven't experienced Jenova's RP scene yet, but I did find Siren's some months ago. There was a fun and very welcoming group in what I do believe is the Siren Roleplayers linkshell listed in the linkshell hall here.Â
Behemoth also has a good group of friendly and cool people that were easy to find through linkshell. The queues felt a little slower there, since it's Primal instead of Aether data server, but nothing unmanageable.
I've heard good things about Jenova too, and they're next on my list, but I'm afraid I can't compare from personal experience yet.
Balmung does have great diversity and a fun open world RP scene, but the tight-knit and personal feel of the growing communities is something I find enjoyable, myself. There is a lot of talent on the smaller servers, and I doubt you'll find yourself wanting for RP opportunities no matter which you choose.
