Konami has to cut down on Kiefer's pay check, after all. Too many mobile games to develop, not enough money.
This sums up exactly how I feel after reading that...

I think if anything my main concern is the structure of the Game. We have Main Ops, Side Ops & then extra objectives. What I am concerned about is that the Main Ops will lack story punch. I don't want Main Ops & Side Ops just feeling like the same. I want more feeling and story content within Main Ops and not just missions where I have to free a translator that do not progress the story. That sort of mission should be assigned to a Side Op. My biggest fear is that I am playing the game and I go through Main Op after Main Op and feel like I am not making progress on the story, the last thing I want is for this game to feel like a drag.

Beyond that of course is the notion of Big Boss just feeling like an Avatar. I hope to god he has a presence within the game story. I don't want him to suffer with Silent Protagonist Syndrome (A rant I have made on far too many JRPG's & can be game breaking for me.). While I like the inclusion of Tapes, I don't think it is where all the personality of the game should be. I was fine with the ratio of story between cutscenes and tapes in Peace Walker, if it is similar to that then I won't mind.

My biggest concern and it won't die until I get to the ending credits is that TPP will have a sequel besides the MGand MG2 remakes.

If Kojima really is done, then I share this concern. No other writer should add to or finish the main storyline.

Thank god as bad as konami is, they aren't square enix. We don't need a tpp-2 dress up simulator or a tpp returns where Big Boss rides a train and moves on with his life.

It most probably will...and without kojima. But after MGSV there will be no more mgs for me, so you can always do the same. You gotta hit'em where it hurts so they understand

I thought about this too and GZ kind of left that impression, but I think if you simply keep the story and BB's character development in mind, it should fall together and rectify itself. Again, this isn't good ole Snake anymore.

Oh, I can appreciate Big Boss has changed and he won't be so chirpy as Naked Snake from MGS3 but I still want him to have sense presence. If his mental state is deteriorating I want to feel it through BB. I don't want to see this blank character not responding to anything.

I bought a Wii-U in preparation for Xenoblade Chronicles X, having had one of the best gaming experience of my life with the previous title on Wii. But when they later revealed that the game would feature a 'created character' It quite simply ruined the game for me. Just seeing this avatar with nor personality or real involvement in the story nod his way through cutscenes as everyone else talks around him. It was just awful and I was so put off I sold my Wii-U entirely.

Why not? Kojima is not the only one capable of writing/directing good Metal Gear games. And besides, another writer/directer taking over the franchise from him is what Kojima himself has wanted for several years now, far as I'm concerned you'd be doing Kojima a disservice by not at least giving the non-Kojima directed future games a shot.

I think that for people who are concerned for the micro transactions in the game should look at the as a real good thing. Look at it this way, if you have to have a game that needs micro transactions in ur game to make it go faster or skip ahead.Then that just proves that this game is going to be really long. Even Kojima has sad that he was scared that this game "may be too big to finish". I look at this as a good thing.

There's a difference between an amazing 100+hour experience where everything is paced perfectly, and 10 hours of content stretched out across 100 hours with filler missions and time delays to encourage people to buy skips and speed ups.

People are worried about the latter.

I really only have 2 concerns.
#1 I hope the intense details of this game don't push me away from playing it. I don't have much time and I feel like this game is going to take months to beat. But I know that after the hospital scene and the first mission with ocelot and rescuing kaz that whatever we find out, and the mystery of what's going to happen next is only going to keep me playing. I've tried to play the most recent Hitman, GTAV as well as Watch Dogs. None of which I could continue playing for more than once. MGSV is different to me tho.

My other concern is that I hope there isn't too much scifi but it sounds like those elements will be due to big boss hallucinating from the horn and psycho mantis so that should make it ok.

I believe Kojima did confirm a long time ago that this game would be more sci-fi than past games, but like you said it could mostly just have to do with Big Boss hallucinating due to the horn.

I am concerned about the story being mostly told through cassette tapes, but then again I trust kojima and cutting down on cut scenes may just mean theyre wont be 10 hours of them like mgs4. We'll see but I definitely want hours and hours of epic cutscenes lol

I agree, Kojima is definitely not the only one capable of writing a good Metal Gear game. I think you may have misunderstood me a bit, or perhaps I didn't properly convey my thoughts in my message. I meant, that I wouldn't want someone else taking off with Kojima's main storyline, centered around the snakes basically. I have said before that I would like to continue playing Metal Gear games and I see tons of opportunity for great stories to unfold and evolve in the MG World. I would just prefer it to be centered around different characters with original stories. Kojima has introduced us to many characters over the years with which we've only been given brief overviews of their histories/stories that I would love to see more of and play myself.

If they actually do create a MG and MG2 remake (which I would love), maybe it would be a good thing not to have Kojima write it and retcon a bunch of stuff like he seems to like doing. Also idk what his obsession with old people is. He would probably change it to where Big Boss beats Snake.
