It seems like a last minute decision because of how poorly the plot twist was executed, but could Kojima have organized his staff and implemented character customization within the last few months of the game's production? The hospital scenes and Ishmael, who so obviously had Big Boss's voice, were developed years before Kojima got canned by Konami. Well Ishmael seems like a hallucination, I even thought that when I played the game the first time, because he "cheats death" several times throughout the mission, and some of them seem like the laziest writing I have seen, for example:

-during the first encounter with "Fire Man" he gets lit on fire, and two seconds later he is perfectly fine, nither his clothes nor him get any visible damage.

-When the XOF are shooting the bodies in the corridor, he pisses himself, only to be revealed that he happened to be liying over a bag of pouring serum, so the XOF don't shoot him, and instead focus their attention on Venom Snake.

but once again this is just my own delusional opinion :P
