Then she said Kojima asked her 2years and a half prior to this video if he could use her as a character in his next MGS game, and she agreed. The guy then asked if the character looked like her, and she said it looked really like her. Then the guy ask what she thinks about Kojima and his work, and if she knew him personally before Peace walker, and she said she had a great admiration for him, that he was very talented, and that it was an honor to be in the game. That her childhood was full of video games and that she was proud to leave her footprint in a game, especially a MGS game. Then finally the guy asked if she was aware of the impact of MGS throughout the world, or if she was surprised of the hype around the game. And she replied she was well aware of the hype around the game, and commented on the previous mgs games and how there was a lot of hype back then as well. And that's about it. Okay, so not much other than Kojima apparently personally requesting that Caminandes act as the model for the game character. The deal part was new information though, so I'll add that in. I'm actually in contact with Cecile Caminandes regarding some questions, one of which was about why Kojima chose her specifically. Well, at least now I know a bit more. There were other questions, but they aren't really important for this wiki, just trying to get my head around French culture and determine for myself whether the claims are accurate or not (hoping they aren't but nonetheless prepared for whether they are in fact true, let's leave it at that and not get into specifics).
