Hi.

This is a speculation topic on the Peace Walker main characters who are accounted for in regards to appearing or not appearing in The Phantom Pain, either in the main game or in the Ground Zeroes segment. BTW, citing Big Boss appearing is cheating.

First, for non-appearances:

Coldman, obviously, is dead.

Zadornov's likely to be deceased as well.

For confirmed appearances in Ground Zeroes:

Chico is one of the prisoners in Camp Omega, and he from current information is aiding Snake in surgery regarding Paz.

Paz is also confirmed to have survived the fight in Peace Walker, and she is under detainment at Camp Omega. She is saved by Snake, only to end up undergoing abdominal surgery due to XOF planting a bomb inside her.

Kazuhira Miller was one of Snake's contacts in the Pax trailer, and was also shown in the VGA trailer where he ended up evacuated from Mother Base and then undergoing hospitalization. He later appeared in the E3 trailer, revealed to have been captured in Afghanistan during the Soviet Invasion, and rescued by Big Boss with indirect help from Ocelot. Might also have partnered up with Ocelot or not.

Huey is also confirmed to make an appearance in the TPP segement the E3 trailer, where he is seen using a robot suit to walk. Might also have been tortured by Ocelot. Might appear in the GZ segment.

A podcast confirmed Strangelove being involved in TPP overall, although it isn't made clear whether she will appear in the GZ segment or the TPP segment.

Now, for PW characters whose appearances are currently unaccounted for:

Cecile Cosima Caminandes, last seen in PW, technically when fighting ZEKE, where she complains about Paz hijacking it. So far, no confirmation on her fate at all, or whether she'll appear.

Amanda Valenciano Libre, the FSLN commandante, and older sister of Chico. Although implied to have survived the events of GZ due to the PW ending timeline, we have no concrete confirmation on her status as of yet, or whether she'll appear in the game.

We'll discuss the chances of those confirmed and not confirmed making an appearance in either of the two segments. Also, expect updates when there is confirmation on exactly where the confirmed characters will appear in the overall game (ie, whether they appear in GZ, TPP, or both), or in the case of Cecile and Amanda, whether they'll appear, period.
