We study Faraday patterns in quasi-one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates with parametrically driven dipolar interactions. We show that in the presence of a roton minimum in the excitation spectrum, the emergent Faraday waves differ substantially in two-and one-dimensional geometries, providing a clear example of the key role of confinement dimensionality in dipolar gases. Moreover, Faraday patterns constitute an excellent tool to study nonlocal effects in polar gases, as we illustrate with two parallel quasi-one-dimensional dipolar condensates. Nonlocal interactions between the condensates give rise to an excitation spectrum characterized by symmetric and antisymmetric modes, even in the absence of hopping. We show that this feature, absent in nondipolar gases, results in a critical driving frequency at which a marked transition occurs between correlated and anticorrelated Faraday patterns in the two condensates. Interestingly, at this critical frequency, the emergent Faraday pattern stems from a spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism.
