Am I the only one who thought that the character Ishmael is a trailer only/exclusive character and he will be removed in the final version of the game? Big Boss might escaped from the hospital in some other way or without help and go on only on his own.

Meaning I'm 99% sure. It just adds up to make sense. I don't really agree with other people's theories and crap but that YongYea guy actually got something to a T that I agree with. It's no different then other people believing Eli is Liquid. That adds up and makes sense as well. |

I can't say I agree with the whole body double theory, but what irks me is that body double theory detractors would often mention that MGSV is supposed to be some kind of "the fall of Big Boss" game. Why does Big Boss have to become evil? Why can't we have both good Big Boss and bad Big Boss? The bad Big Boss in MG1 and MG2 could be a clone who has been brainwashed to think he is Big Boss. It's not out of the question in terms of story-telling and what's possible in the MG universe. Has Hideo made some kind of promise that he is going to turn John/Jack into an evil MF? |

Because it would be stupid not to, most everyone likes a good 'breaking bad' type story - where events warp a person in to becoming a monster, where the decisions a person makes send them on a perilous slope towards evil. Big Boss was the villain of the original Metal Gear games for NES, he was a war mongering maniac who exploited children. While its possible those games will be retconned, and they probably will to some degree, BB's change in character is something that should not be retconned. We've been patiently watching his slow character development expecting it. He is the main character, as Kojima has said. In writing you typically want your main character to change over time and be shaped by traumatic/dramatic events, not remain stagnate. Notice the strong (its hard not to) anti-torture message of Ground Zeroes. And what do you see Big Boss and his associates doing in the Red Band trailer? Torturing Huey and Quiet, who are most likely innocent of whatever they are being suspected of. Quiet will probably live up to her namesake, and not say anything even in torture - making the audience sympathize with her. Torture is among the things Big Boss and Kaz will resort to, as they are so consumed by a drive for revenge. It makes for an interesting and dramatic story. Its because that is what the trailers are teasing will happen. 'In Outer Heaven, Men Become Demons' and 'Kaz, I'm already a demon'. MGSV originally had the code name Project Ogre. Having a clone or body double be the bad guy really fucking cheapens it, and its completely unnecessary. Not to mention there are enough Snakes running around in the series already. Any fourth clone or someone who even is made to look like Big Boss, reads like poor fan fiction. Edited by abstract-one, May 4 2014, 01:27:12 AM.

The world would be better without Snakes.

Was it here that I saw someone posting something from the lyrics of Not Your Kind Of People about becoming a horrible person in a dream who builds an army of people you shouldn't rely on, over top of images of Mother Base, child Soldiers and Big Boss lying on the hospital bed in his coma? May have been elsewhere but it made perfect sense with the pictures attached.

I think maybe the medic is Ishmael and he will allude to this fact at some point. He will probably show up in other forms throughout the game but then at the end it will turn out that he never actually existed and we will get a montage of Big Boss doing loads of miraculous shit when the odds are stacked against him. |

The other reason why I think the Medic is Ishmael is because from a plot standpoint it's only Kaz, (possibly Chico) and Big Boss himself who survived MSF's downfall. If the Medic is Ishmael then he would symbolize the "last of his kind" and whether he's real or not it would make sense to the story. |

Gray Fox. Called it. Hes the 80s Raiden for Big Boss. Expect to play a pre-cyborg Frank Jaeger DLC. He infiltrated Mother Base under Snakes nose, working in the Mess Hall. Edited by d3m01iti0n, May 10 2014, 06:44:45 AM.
