Time is the death and the healing Posts: 3,339 Group: The Patriots Member #2,420 Joined: May 28, 2006	Few things I'm interested in: Isn't "EVA" supposed to be like 78 in MGS4? She's sure aged well considering that... Also, Anyone think Para-Medic is still alive? She'd also be 78 in MGS4, heh. I don't think it matters, but still... Same goes for Sigint! I just thought they were such cool characters, but yeah... I guess their part in the story is over.

MGSF Proud Member!

I think he already did. As Ryan Payton and Hideo Kojima stated in MGS4 all the questions are going to be answered about the whole MGS Saga. So Kojima will probably explain everything about the "blanks" he left open it the other games of the series. A complete and full ending, if you like.

I love that they reference Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy. Anyways, its good to have it as a reference, so I'm gonna move it to "Metal Gear Solid:Other" and pin it.

The Philosophers isn't renade to the Patriots. The Patriots are a diffrent organization. Spoiler: click to toggle Ocelot kills the Philosophers in MGS:PO and creates the Patriots.
