Agreed Bluerock. I really want to see Hideo close the circle in MGSV because despite it being my all-time favourite series, I can already see The Phantom Pain is going to be incredible and Hideo should bow out on a high. That's not to say the other games haven't been amazing too, I'm just saying he's reached dizzying heights with TPP.

You raise a good point there Jim. While the classic Metal Gear gameplay used in Ghost Babel is pretty much outdated by today's standards, and I'm always iffy of card-based gameplay such as Ac!d, alternate reality from a story point of view is always an interesting talking point. I mean it'd be interesting to see a game where Liquid didn't die and perhaps he and Solid joined forces or something like that. For me personally, putting already established characters in a different setting is something I really enjoy seeing play out (for example, the first Fullmetal Alchemist movie). To reference the Deja Vu mission from Ground Zeroes - I'd love to see something familiar yet strange all at the same time.

Also, like some users have said before, the whole Raiden vs. Snatchers thing is interesting. I know Hideo seems like he wants to move on from all his old stuff, but hey. I hope we see stuff similar to Jamais Vu in TPP - a weird alternate universe. It'd only have to be a few missions here or there but it'd be really cool. I don't think it really needs its own game, but as I say, interesting to consider.

My ideal MGS6 though, assuming it'd be running off the FOX Engine, would have CO-OPS. That applies to my ideal MGSV though, as I am praying to every god imaginable that we'll be surprised with CO-OPS in The Phantom Pain considering the potential Peace Walker showed us all. I want it even more than I already did once I saw the Metal Gear Online 3 trailer (never got to play MGO or MGO2).
