I never used 3rd person in PS1 to see around corners etc, I only used it to admire my armor (cause I'm vain like that).

But really, cosmetics and XP boosting are probably going to be the two main ways this game makes money. And I'll probably be spending all my money on XP boosts (as vain as I am... If I buy cosmetic upgrades it's more for me to see, not so much for others to see. But there's little motivation to do that in PS2 from my perspective)
It's like a woman getting a boob job. She can't see what she looks like with big tits most of the time, but she can check how she looks in the mirror before going out.

You'll be able to see what you look like on the character select screen, then know that you are showing it off the rest of the time.

It's worked fine in TF2 and other games that have cosmetic items but no 3rd person.
