The konami guy worked with Rising, so he'd obviously know what he was talking about. Think about it, if he had made a mistake, he would have been fired. And either way, the game's Codec calls make it quite clear that he does have a human-like cyborg body, and also implies that the armor was wearable. Heck, even with the gloves in the final version, they still looked more human like instead of the clawed hands he had after removing the suit.
