So if anyone visits http://www.thephantompain.com they will be shown a black screen with a cryptic message written in (mostly) white.

The Phantom Pain is the codicil allowed by any conscious luminary in response to any truant limb or an apportion of the limb

Now keen eyes may notice that Pain, Lumin and Portion are just so slightly different colored, having a very light shade of pink. Why? I have no idea but I have try to decrypt the message some by looking up the meanings of the odd words codicil, luminary, truant and apportion.

A Codicil is a document that improves, rather then replaces, a previous executed will.

Luminary is normally a celestial body that gives off a bright light (think the sun and the moon) but it also refers to a person who is an inspiration to others or has achieved fame in a certain field.

A Truant is someone who is absent without permission.

Apportion is an alloction or distribution according to plan or purpose.

Also having juggled around with all the letters, the word PATRIOTS can easily be made from the sentence, as can LA LI LU LE LO.

I have no idea why Pain, Lumin and Portion have been 'highlighted' and Lumin itself means light

Making a random reach into what this cryptic message means...well I personally think it refers to the Le Enfants Terribles project. Big Boss was in coma during that period and the trailer clearly states the main character has been in a coma for a while. Now it is said that, while people are comatose, they can still be conscious and aware of their surroundings. Thus possibly making the conscious luminary to refer to Big Boss. The Codicil would be the cloning project, as Zero wanted to uphold Big Boss' status as greatest soldier he wanted clones to that would remain is the icon that Big Boss represented, rather then replacing it. The Truant and Apportion comment may hold true to Big Boss' DNA which was taken from him without his permission (they may well have used his arm, hence why he is missing one) and from that DNA eight embryo's were created, thus distributing Big Boss' DNA according to plan

Now keep in mind, this is just me guessing what this cryptic message could possibly mean or even refer to, it's really another mystery adding in on the bigger mystery of The Phantom Pain itself.
