There's definite "mind-fuck" moments with Ishmael. When the group gets gunned down in the hospital, there just happens to be another patient wearing the exact same robe and face bandages. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's another patient shown at all with that combo. Just Ishmael and 1 other. Always struck me as odd tbh. I mean how many full facial injuries could there be? I know Big Boss obviously isn't injured, but the other patient must've been.

And, technically speaking, couldn't the entirety of TPP be a hallucination. I know it's not of course, but there's definite moments of clear hallucinations. Flaming whale, fire unicorn for example. After that though, other than Paz, what is a hallucination?. The way Ocelot explained it, ya know, seeing things that aren't there, I honestly expected it to be a gameplay mechanic.

It seems all the hallucinations were pretty much all to do with the hospital sequence. After that other than Paz there's at least no clear hallucinations.

And isn't Venom hallucinating the whole thing with Paz? including Ocelot and Kaz? I always assumed it was all a hallucination. There's no way Ocelot and Kaz had Paz on Mother Base and didn't become seriously alarmed when she "disappeared". I'm pretty sure hallucinations can be incredibly real to the person suffering, it wouldn't be "oh look Kaz and Ocelot are here so this is clearly real". They wouldn't know the difference.
