So just a thought, do you think that Kojima might try to do the whole time travel thing? Seems silly but here is my thinking why it is a possibility:

One, Kojima has already opened the door to that possibility with the Raiden mission in Ground Zeroes. At first I thought it was just a fun level as a one off, however, the loading message before the level seems to put a lot of thought into just a fun level. I could totaly be wrong though.

Two, the confusing timeline and several retcons (appearances from MG2 and how characters look now, Grey Fox timeline, etc) may have Kojima wanting to "Days of Future Past" us and be like all "anything after a certain game didn't actually happen" with only Raiden (or whomever) remebering anything from the "past" games. I say Raiden because he is from the future and him,  Otacon, and Sunny make a time machine and have Raiden go back and stop Big Boss at a certain point...i really don't know it's just a thought.

Third, we have seen very little about what happens after the Kaz rescue mission. Could just be to conceal the story but still. Kojima also has hinted that he wanted to "reinvent the series" and "this is for surez my last games guyzz lolz" so maybe he is going to make something happen in Phantom Pain to where the timeline changes and games after that are made by different designers and make their own Metal Gear story,

I know this is not very strong evidence (at all) it was just something i thought whilst bored at work today. Time travel in fiction is neat idea but i kinda hate it at the same time because it can be used as a cop-out for poor timelines or B.S. answers for LOST. It would seem to reconcile Big Boss losing limbs that was not mentioned or Kaz (We never really see kaz full body other than Peace Walker)

Anywho let us debunk and discuss away!
