Has the leaked guide been confirmed as official? Something strikes me as odd about it. I looked at the images and videos over on reddit, under unofficial released information. A large portion of what I saw being shown from the guide looked like stuff that could've been pulled from the internet. There seems to be virtually no new characters in the guide. The only characters are ones we've already seen through trailers. Which means no Zero, no Eva, no Patriots, no FOXHOUND. If this thing were legit, then Phantom Pain contains one of the smallest cast of characters Kojima has assembled. Or is it normal for guides to keep characters a secret? I thought the point of a strategy guide was to reveal secrets that players might not otherwise find on their own.
