some emotes put you into a new stance and arn't just a brief emote. you can use them to change the way you stand some times. you see dark knights do it a lot with their big sword down emote.
you can hotbar emotes or learn their / command. experienced FF14 show-offs, fashionistas and RP'ers learn them so well they mostly comunicate that way it seems. heh

Yeah /cpose changes your idle pose, multiple choices with weapon sheathed, one alternative with weapon unsheathe depending on your job/gender (I really wished they'd make both unsheathed cpose available to both gender, the gender locking on that makes no sense).
They dropped PS3 support a while ago, but it was a very real limiting factor for them at first.

most players can give a 3 sentance boss rundown, like "he's gonna shoot fire out his ass after her roars, so move to the side. stand under meteors. watch out for falling pillars". and you can often (if you arn't the tank) just follow the healer.
once you do enough dungeons the telegraph / markers for effects are standard. you learn which mean "boss will rotate" which mean "move here not there" and "everyone must stand here" so you can kind of wing most of them. i often do heh.
players are used to so many casuals they do not care about brief descriptions.

Also, dungeon group are only 4 players, tank/healer/2 DPS. Even more visible when your DPS are mouthbreathing retards.
But yeah, early dungeons are quite simple, and if you get a high level player synced down it's usually pretty faceroll with ignorable mechanics.
At least the game is consistant in its visual language. Which is even more mind boggling when you still see some people at higher level who don't understand stack markers.

You can wing FF14 dungeons with a death or two, everything is well telegraphed and you'll easily pick up on the unique telegraphs quickly. I suggest giving the 8 man encounters a quick read through tho or you will likely be carried on the floor. As long as you have the sprout icon it's a free ride through everything basically; wish more games used icons by player names to convey info.

Between the consistent telegraphs and a little bit of puzzle brain, you can learn quite a lot of dungeon shit on the fly. Mechanics you do fuck up rarely straight up kill you the first time as well, and instead will leave you with either a stacking vulnerability debuff or a bleed, so you can fuck up, but just not too much.

For better or for worse, they absolutely do not fuck around with their ToS.

This hasn't updated in a while, but as a beginner it has good cliff notes for bosses:
