Also forgot to mention the one thing Kojima said after MGS2. He promised the community he was never EVER going to pull a bait and switch ever again like he did with Solid Snake and Raiden. That said if he did something like say, big boss actually died and his conciousness was saved and implanted in someone else and that someone else was made to look like Big boss, that wouldn't be the best but it wouldn't be the worst. That said I'm still going with the fact that we are Venom Snake is still Big Boss physically and mentally. The leaks don't prove anything visually even though they could have since they had supposed "photos" and the leaks narrow down to something anyone can and have thought of off the top of their head. And speaking of Kojima, he has rused people before, he says some things but not everything. And I've also looked up and found that he has referred to Venom Snake as Big Boss in an interview with the direct quote being "This episode is the story of how Snake became Big Boss." although this was translated from Italian and is a little dated, but since we are using the italian leaked guide I'm standing by this. And now to the idea with Kiefer voicing the medic/big boss/ishmael, if Kojima really wanted us to believe that they were incredibly similar, he would have done the same with the Japanese Voice Actor for Snake and the medic, And to my knowledge I don't think he has. I'm still standing by the idea that Ishmael is in Big Boss' head, because he says "I've been watching you for 9 years", and "You are talking to yourself", it makes sense that it is boss' conscious trying to save itself, I mean if Ishmael was real and there in the flesh he would have helped big boss up on his feet. In closing, the leaks don't prove anything other than speculation. We won't know for sure until the end of The Phantom Pain.
