Aliasing alternate_outfit -> alternate_costume.
Reason: Since the latter seems the catch-all, even outside of games. Also, would "alternate_form" fall close enough to be aliased, too? Would it just be a kind of "*_persona"?

While we're at it, maybe costume switch should implicate alternate costume?

I don't think so. Costume switches also occur in crossovers. Surely, whatever Character from Anime A wears can't be considered as Character from Anime B's alternate costume. (Cases in point: post #460951, post #229075, and post #51053.)

Hell no. Costume switch is cosplay, alternate costumes are not.
Though I will take this moment to ask for an alias for costume_swap -> costume_switch because every freaking time I try to search the tag I pick the wrong one.

Done.

Probably not, as it could take a form other than just costume changes.

For reasons mentioned, I don't think we should implicate these.
