My two cents: If I were going to make a Metal Gear Solid 6, I wouln't make a story or just put in the bares bones or something, and make it more like the Challenge Mode in the Batman Akrham games, where you can select a certain character and costume and play as them non-canonically (like the Boss, Gray Fox, Liquid, Solidus, Solid Snake, Big Boss in all his incarnations, and so on). And if a story had to be done, then it'd be related to the rest of the franchise in the way Red Dead Redemption is related to Red Dead Revolver,  might be set in the same universe but that's about it, in a large free-roaming set of areas. But otherwise, i hope Phantom pain will be a giant magnum opus (also I hope in terms of analogy that if Ground Zeroes was a short story, then Phanotm Pain is like War and Peace or that seven volume Proust novel) and swan song than let Metal Gear turn into Call of Duty or Destiny.
