Thanks for the eye patch facewear, but one small problem

Thank you for adding eye patch facewear!

But It will cover the wrong eye on my character. She needs an eye patch for her LEFT eye.

Please, you NEED to give us the option to change which eye it covers!! Monocles as well.

It'd be funny if we later got a second monocle / eyepatch item, just for the other eye.
As a fun bit of trivia, the eye patch on the Lv88 Ar-Caean Velvet Caps - while the same model as the Neo-Ishgardian set - is flipped to the other eye!

Really wondering why they had to make a whole new system for facewear instead of just flagging existing glasses, eyepatches, etc. to fit in the face slot. Load of items I'd like to use, but nope. Was it spaghetti code? Forced player engagement?

The opportunity to sell us old assets as new items.

I agree. I hope it won't take 2 years for them to implement another one.

Finally, I can wear an eyepatch on each eye.

I was just about to suggest that this is what's going to happen. Wear the eyepatch headgear, while also wearing the other eyepatch facewear. I cannot wait to see somebody chilling out in Ul'Dah with this look.

I think a "mirror" option for head items and facewear, similar to /visor, would be great. I like to cover one of my character's eyes, too, so I also encounter this problem fairly regularly. Being able to mirror items would fix this, and would also allow people to wear corsages, off-center hats, etc on the other side of their head if desired. I'm sure most people have, at least once, tried on a head item and noticed that it would stop clipping with their hairstyle, or even just match their outfit better, if they could flip it.

I hope so too, been asking for this since they announced facewear as a feature. Great that they finally did it, but still super disappointed.

That's a cute picture. It would be nice if they shifted over maybe someday. They always slip in little QoL here and there.

(Edit)

Are you missing an Eye in real life or is it part of your character roleplay?

I'm wondering if the eyepatch(es) will have left/right options once unlocked, and they simply didn't show/mention them. When you unlock facewear it comes with a whole bunch of color options, I would be surprised if they didn't do something similar here but with giving you the choice on which eye to cover.
