Optional Alternate View Mode...

The option to switch the graphics display for a character to display something other than the normal view:

Radar sense, Heat sense, motion sense:

Radar sense: colored outlines (color determined by the player)
Heat sense: predator-esque colorations
Motion sense: sort of the same as Radar, but with trailing FX

this totally unnecessary and simply a cool-factor, but could be fun

Do we get X-ray vision as well?

Jokes aside, I have no idea how feasible it would be code-wise, but it's a definite plus to the cool factor.

Things that require extra special textures or geometry modifications, such as X-Ray vision seeing people's bones, is probably not very feasible.

However, I don't see why we can't play with effects filters just the same. Why not red negative, like what we used to see through those red tubes in Arachnos bases? Why not two-colour monochrome? Why not a grainy filter? Why not a blurry filter? There are a ton of full-screen video filters that we could apply... Just for fun. It's no more useless than costumes, after all, and we love those
