I enjoyed the Peace Walker fights.) that they will appear, but I'm not sure any of it would be canon. However, it's not impossible for it to be canon. Metal Gear always mixes supernatural with reality, so I'd definitely buy that it is. Besides, it could open a very fun and engaging sub-plot.

And due to how fucking difficult the Tsuchinoko was to find if you didn't know where to look, I'd be more than okay with having one as a scout to look for enemies. Maybe even kill them, due to Tsuchinokos being venomous. Yeah, they certainly wouldn't have to be canon. Them being in the game would be good enough for me. I happen to agree that UMAs could make for great sub-plots too.

It wouldn't even have to be restricted to myths and legends in Africa and Afghanistan, you've made me remember, as Snake Eater was set in Russia, yet Tsuchinoko are Japanese folklore. They've definitely got a lot of wriggle room, and with Kojima's claim  that we will "still find something new after 100 hours", UMA hunting sounds awesome to me. Agreed. And with Silent Hills coming out and The Phantom Pain originally announced as a survival-horror, I somewhat hope there will be a survival horror mission or a few of some sort. If not to show off even more what Kojima can do, then to include more UMAs. Or both. Hopefully both.

However, that's just speculation -- and we do know Kojima has included demos in games before.

I'd like to see a continuation of the Jamais Vu and Deja Vu missions. The continuation of Deja Vu referencing the other canon games and the continuation of Jamais Vu being a neat sub-plot furthering Raiden's battle with Snatchers. I'm only thinking about that due to Miller saying "I hope they didn't have anything bigger planned..." at the end of Jamais Vu. Off topic, but neat to think about. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.
