Just a side note, but side by side I think their racial gear looks like what most ppl here were asking for which is nice, follows the viera asthetic but its more survivalistic and overall really high quality

It's alright, the midsection being shown is not really my thing. The pauldron is all wrong too, it should be on the left shoulder. A lot of games mess that up though.

wouldn't it depend on wherether you're right or left handed..?

People are typically right-handed. The left side is where a combatants guard is to the enemy, right hand would be the 'sword arm'. That is why historical armor was more protected on the left side. Having no pauldron on one side, would allow for more freedom of movement on that side, the right side should be the side that is free however.

The WoL is typically right-handed, as far as I am aware.

Well, if we talk about GNB, PLD, MCH and probably RDM - yep, they are. SCH/SMN seem to be openly left-handed (based on their /victory pose). With everyone else it's fairly hard to say, since most weapons in the game are two handed, though the main focus does seem to be on the right hand which... isn't very indicative, because as a left-handed person I can say that we're taught to do a lot of things with the focus on right hand (since, as you correctly pointed out, the majority is right-handed).

That said, I wouldn't pay much attention to that on a racial gear, that doesn't keep a specific job in mind. It's more noticeable with concrete job pieces, though. (In a vacuum with perfect conditions we should be able to pick if character is left or right handed buuuut well, it's not feasible to implement).

Summoners and Scholars apparently write left-handed: when we're summoning our pets, we hold the book in our right hand and draw the inscription with the left.
