The whole trailer is kinda questionable due to the appearance of Psycho Mantis and the strange apparitons that appear throughout the hospital escape level. Apparently, what Big Boss and Ocelot fight seems to be like..what, a guy in flames riding a horse who's also in flames? That seems plain weird, even for Metal Gear. Besides, we know Ocelot didn't expose himself as he still worked for the Patriots a number of times after the events of TPP.

True, Ocelot did fight with Big Boss during Snake Eater, but he did it to conceal his identity. Now that he seems to be very much acquainted with him, there's no reason for them to fight. And I never completely erased the possibility of Kaz being a boss fight. After all, he does seems to hold hatred for him during the Zanzibar Land Disturbance. So, there must be something wrong that Big Boss did, and that made Kaz go against him at some point. However, instead of him facing Snake in a hand-to-hand duel, I could rather see him riding a huge-ass Metal Gear. After all, what's a Metal Gear without a Metal Gear battle?

Well, technically, Snake Eater and, ironically, the first Metal Gear, lacked a Metal Gear battle (as the former was specifically stated to not be a Metal Gear either in concept or in name, and the latter didn't even move or defend itself other than the gun cameras). While I won't entirely dismiss a Metal Gear fight, most likely Skull Face will be the pilot (since Skull Face is the big bad of the game, at least insofar as what marketing tells us), as Kaz really doesn't seem to be the type to pilot mechs, disabled or not. Then again, we didn't think Paz would be into mechs either, and look what happened.

I'm not sure if Kaz should be fighting, though, at least as a boss battle. Cutscene, I'll probably be all right with. However, if we have a Kaz boss fight... well, it will be anticlimatic to say the least due to Kaz being in even worse shape than Big Boss. You have some good points! Apparently, Skull Face will be the main boss fight(s), but wouldn't you expect some kind of wildcard fight beside the obvious? Or could that be Quiet, since she was refered by Hideo Kojima himself as the main heroine of the game, and thus, portraying Big Boss as the protagonist villain?
