There seems to be some confusion regarding all of this. It Venom Snake talking to The Boss, right? Since he has all of the memories of Big Boss, it would make sense. He also says, "We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future." This is akin to what The Boss says in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

The wiki is going back and forth about the FOB ending. I've heard that it's Venom Snake talking to Big Boss, but that doesn't make any sense because he quotes The Boss. I also heard this is Big Boss talking to The Boss but that doesn't make any sense because he rejected her Will due to feeling "betrayed" by her choice to put down her gun.

What's going on here? It really doesn't make any sense in any scenario. Even if we use the whole "he has Big Boss's memories" excuse, the problem is that Venom Snake would also have inherited his template's rejection of Big Boss's will precisely because that's exactly what Big Boss did before the events of the game.

It make senses. Venom Snake has the memories of Big Boss, yet he doesn't react the same way. The whole nuclear disarmament ending could possibly be activated before knowing the truth since it's an online aspect. So, he won't be talking to Big Boss since he believes he is Big Boss.

And the other thing is the nuclear disarmament ending is the exact opposite of what Big Boss wants. He doesn't want to lay down his gun. He wants to continuing on fighting. In MG2, he gathered all the nukes he could and made the world try to compete with him, bringing them back a similar tension like the Cold War.

Everything that Venom Snake said in the disarmament ending is against Big Boss character during that time. So it just suggest that he is speaking to The Boss and has his own interpretation of her will.
