Player Battler -- Right vs Left

So I am guessing this is born of JRPG's or something else not in my passion/background... but are the player characters being on the right during combat fairly comfortable/normal?

It only recently started bothering me when I was creating my own sprites and realized all of the right handed weapon attacks are visually hindered. Also wondered if my reaction has to do with the old westerner in me (reading left to right, I keep wanting the important stuff (my guys) to lead) and some of the other "separate screen for combat" games I've played (e.g. WD: Road to Survival, Darkest Dungeon, Derelict, etc), but I think I am starting to lean... >gulp<... left.

Anyone ever mess with altering the stock layout?

Honestly I used to having my characters on the right and enemies on the left. Not that there's a good reason for having the heroes on the right, I just place them there out of habit and because I'm used to it. You could put them on the left and it would be fine.

So there is a straightforward way to do this in the MV editor?

@Guanto No. By default the characters will be on the right. If you want to change it you need a plugin.
