Everytime a franchaise is succesful they just milk it dry, there is no sign that the Phantom Pain will feature time skips, meaning that we may get a MGS6 taking place in the 1990's and then a MGS7 featuring Solid snakes origins and so on.

I just hope I am wrong and this never becomes real

As Jim said above, there is plenty of suggestion that TPP will have time skips.

But, once Big Boss establishes Outer Heaven and goes back to FOXHOUND (a turn of events I'm still unsure of how they'll do it) I'm pretty sure that's it for him. He's more of a commanding officer rather than a soldier so to speak - I think he'll probably stop the fighting considering he's 49 as of the START of TPP.

Something I just considered though; There's suggestion that Boss and Kaz are going to go their separate ways during The Phantom Pain, right? But then how do both Boss and Kaz find their way to FOXHOUND? I know they've well and truly split paths by Metal Gear 2, but if they part ways during TPP, will they reconcile in FOXHOUND, or will they just kind of ignore each other? Maybe I'm missing something here.

As for Solid Snake's origins in your suggested MGS7, isn't he a rookie as of MG1? Either way, I'm fairly sure this closes the loop on the Snakes. And if there's another Metal Gear Solid game, it'll either feature Raiden or Gray Fox.

I, for one, as I have said, would love to see a FOX Engine rendering of Metal Gear 1 and 2, and would love the opportunity to play as a young Solid Snake in full 3D.
