Recently replayed MGS for PS1... now wondering, after hearing all that dialogue between Naomi and Snake again: did Kojima already have the ideas behind MGS2 (and perhaps a few Big Boss origin stories) up his sleeve? This is especially regarding the Patriots. Naomi said it wasn't her decision to use FoxDie. Obviously, that was the Patriots' work (as cleared up in MGS4) but the speculation here is whether or not Kojima knew he was going this direction? From what I understand, he didn't think there was going to be a sequel to Metal Gear Solid and that he, in fact, was expecting it to have mediocre sales at best. That kind of foresight would just be amazing to me. Absolute genius.
