Well, I agree with you guys on the fact that it seems incredibly weird how there seems to be no new characters whatsoever. But the guide even shows who the "final" boss of the game is. It's the Sahelanthropus Metal Gear controlled by Mantis. And both of those characters we have already seen. As for any questions about why the story is what it is, the guy who leaked the storyline last month, who no one believed (including me), and who was actually right all along, wrote his analysis about the story. As disappointed as I am that the story seems to be exactly like I didn't want it to be, I can see the reasons behind it and it definitely sounds like something Kojima would do. It literally sounds like MGS2 all over again, sacrificing what could have been a straightforward and satisfying story in favor of a complex theme-heavy story.
