It's kinda hard for Big Boss to not know the name of the project since finding out about it was what caused him to ditch Zero and the Patriots in the first place, this isn't something he's just now learning about, it's something he's already known for twelve years.

'''And your point ? Big Boss knows about the existence of various clones and what? He doesn't do shit, does it? He's like: "ok I saw Eli, that's enough I don't want to see the other ones" That's what will happen according to you. No Solid, no Solidus, so it will be only Big Boss and Liquid hanging around just because. It doesn't make sense at all, can you even realize that?'''

And your point? Both of them being dressed the same and having perfect copies of the others outfit as well as having the same facial scars in the same places doesn't make any sense at all. And no, their eye color is not clearly shown, you're only seeing it because it's what you want to see, not because that's actually waht you're seeing.

Their eye color is clearly shown, you're not only seeing it because it's what you don't want to see, not because that's actually what you're seeing.

Like Weedle said, MGS4 has Snake referring to a toy he had during his childhood, long before Outer Heaven. And if he got his memory wiped, how would he have remembered that Big Boss was the one who trained him in CQC? Or his time in the Green Berets before being recruited into FOXHOUND? Or his FOXHOUND training in general?

'''My guess, again, is that Solid lost memory of his childhood (basically what will happen during TPP, just that) After this point he starts a new life with close-to-no memory of the past. Then he joins Green Berets, Foxhound, he's trained by BB, Kaz, ecc.'''

And again, just like I told the other guy, Kojima never said that there will be inconsistencies, he said there might be inconsistencies, two entirely different statements that have two entirely different meanings, the first is a statement of fact, the second is a statement of possibility and it being possible that there are inconsistencies and saying there might be doesn't mean there's going to be any.

'''If Kojima hadn't planned inconsistencies for TPP that statement wouldn't make any sense. He said "there might be inconsistencies" because he didn't want to say "I'll retcon the shit out of this saga, bitches". Ok maybe not these exact words, but something like that. '''

He saying there might be inconsistencies = It's VERY likely there will be inconsistencies

He not saying shit about inconsistencies = there will not be inconsistencies at all

"All of them were born in 1984." shows how much (or rather little) you know of the series, they were born in 1972.

C'mon don't be an asshole I know Solid and Liquid were born in 1972, I meant to say that they were ALREADY born in 1984.

Even better question, why should they be in TPP? Especially Solidus since his child soldier kidnapping and brainwashing doesn't happen until the Liberian civil war.

The perfect clone of Big Boss himself is totally worth a mention or a glimpse at least.

And in order for it to be a masterpiece, he needs to avoid bad story telling by not putting in characters just for the sake of having them there.

'''And in order for it to be a masterpiece, he needs to avoid bad story telling by putting in important characters like Solid. There is no reason at all for Solid not to be in TPP. Can you understand? CAN YOU? Dr. Fucking Madnar mentioned in MGS4 didn't make sense at all. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 12 years old Solid in TPP MAKES SENSE.'''

'''Wait, ok, I gotta make a phonecall. I'm calling Kojima. I gotta to say him that mr. Kornflakes89 doesn't want Solid in The Phantom Pain. Boy that's an hell of a reason. Solid Snake absence in TPP confirmed.'''

'''Go on if you want buddy. Try to find any reason for Solid not to be in TPP. I dare you, I double dare you. Find as many reasons as you can. And they must be good and make some fucking sense. Show me what you got instead of bitching about "there MIGHT BE inconsistencies", Fox Engine's bad lighting, Kojima should do this and shouldn't do that,  MGS4 festival of unworthy characters and shit.'''
