So, where are our eye colors?

Good find.
Maybe they changed it due to peoples populare request to but Phantasia Potions, which was released after so I bet they were already talking about that possibility around 2.1.
(After patch 2.28, players can purchase the Fantasia from the Mog Station)

Been waiting for this too I wonder what happened?

Changing eye color is a bit too drastic since that's something you can only change with contacts (unheard of on medieval times) or being reborn, so that's most likely to stay fantasia only. I think more reasonable would be changing skin color, since people get tanned and all, and even turning into the darkness side changes your skin color (succubus for example are blue ish).

Do people actually play final fantasy around here? In your avatar I'm seeing you're literally wearing the ironworks healing visor.

Well it's more medieval than modern time atleast.
But I would not call it medieval myself, more Steampunk/Magitekpunk.

Current iterations of final fantasy cannot be compared to real world eras lol. Machinist is the closest thing to steampunk we're getting.

Allagan technology literally bleeds into sci-fi.

My point is that FF14 has some pretty weird stuff. You cant tell me that we cant do something as simple as changing eye colour. Why cant the Sylphs have some illusion magic to change the colour?

I like this. With some of the other things they've written in, a color-changing illusion wouldn't be far-fetched.

This game isn't medieval at all. It is it's own fantasy world.

I always said contacts would be cool.

The more options they give you at the aesthetician, the less fantasia they are going to sell.

What's next? Skin color? Nose jobs?

Because he SAID it'll feature eye colour. See page two.
IT'S EYES. No one's askin' for 100% skin change. He pretty much lied
and said it'll be coming with the Salon dude. :/
Races I can see with fantasia though and stuff like that.

As of what we know thus far of the current world's setting... there are no such things as contacts. Even Illusions seem to be limited for the most part to none of the playable races.

This actually applies to skin tones as well. While its true tans exist, FF14 has such a wide array of skin colors that a tan isn't really in the equation. One doesn't go from pale white to obsidian... or blue from a tan.

You have to understand, SE won't add just anything just because some people want it. Nearly everything they add in the game has to be explained away with some form of lore. Hence why everything is locked behind some kind of quest lol.

(Also they wouldn't want to take away from fantasia sales ;P)
