Actually, in all honesty, I hated the fact that she was even potentially brought back in The Phantom Pain, considering I didn't like her at all in Peace Walker due to her basically making a LOT of needless jabs at America beyond even what her cover position as a KGB agent and a Cipher agent could handle (ie, basically slamming America for everything wrong with Costa Rica despite the fact that the Soviets not only being just as responsible as America was for the ills of Costa Rica, they even were the ones who started these bad things in some cases, like how the FSLN and KGB were the ones who started the drug trade in Costa Rica and this is despite Amanda even admitting to her and her unit's role in the drug trade and their effectively starting it in Costa Rica, long before the CIA/Peace Sentinel took over the joint), and I felt that bringing her back pretty much cheapened her sacrifice in Ground Zeroes, probably the one good thing about her.

2. If they really wanted to avoid this sort of speculation, they should have kept Paz off, including avoiding ANY image that even POINTS to Paz in any way (and BTW, the figure was a woman, the figure had a "V-shaped" scar in the same shape and position as Paz's scar, so that really should settle some doubts). And considering the focus they gave her, it's pretty clear she was intended to be semi-important. And BTW, the fact that Ocelot was present and didn't give any indication that he was seeing anything differently from Big Boss (we'd see a split screen with different features if they wanted to indicate they were seeing the same thing differently) makes pretty clear they were seeing the same thing and the same way.

And we definitely know it's not a young Sniper Wolf, considering that she's not even born during the time of the game (she would have been an infant or a toddler at the latest during Saddam's attempted extermination of the Kurds, in 1987, considering that she explicitly called the screams and gunfire her lullabies. The game takes place in 1984, well before Saddam's attempted extermination.).

1, And my point about you focusing almost entirely on a cracked joke has been proven, thank you.

2, And there you go jumping to conclusions acting like new trailer chick is definitely without a doubt Paz when there's been no official confirmation of that whatsoever. Guess I also need to point out, yet again, that new trailer scar is not exactly the same shape as Paz's GZ scar, something someone who claims to have "An eye for details." like you do should've noticed if your claim was true.

Of course he doesn't give any indication, we don't hear any dialogue from that scene in the trailer. And how would you know that there'd be a split screen? There isn't some unwritten rule in fictional works that states that if one character is standing next to a second and they're both looking at a third, that if one of them is hallucinating the third character looking like someone entirely different, that there has to be a split screen present.

The only thing that's clear here is that A, You're jumping to conclusions and acting as if your assumptions are 100% proven facts and B, Your eye for detail is either severely off or doesn't actually exist.
