Ishmael is Chico?- Well Chico hasn't been shown in the PP yet, Either Kojima is holding out on us, Chico is dead, or Chico is IIshmael, Chico would be in his 20's. But 9 years wouldn't take care of his accent and make his voice just like Snake's. I know it'd be unwise to say anything definitively before the game's release, but I believe there is absolutely no chance of Chico being Ishmael. I happen to agree (after much consideration and what little rudimentary research I could do on Ishmael) that he is in fact the MSF Medic from the helicopter.

As far as Chico's concerned, my running theory (which I don't necessary believe, but could easily be done by Kojima) is that Chico goes on to become Decoy Octopus. Joining FOXHOUND because Big Boss founded it, stealing identities because of the guilt and shame of the events of Ground Zeroes, Spanish as original language--these sorts of things make me believe it could happen. Or he just remains as regular Chico, I don't think he'd die in that crash, it'd be way too anti-climatic to do that off-screen.

If Darly and Kenny had a baby wrote: My First Theory is that Quiet is Paz, After seeing Quiet's new power in the recent Sneek peak for The TGS trailer, Quiet seems to be able to deconstruct her body and put it together. Which is how Pas survived.at the end of Ground Zero's. Also some artwork for Quiet strongly resembles Quiet. The only concern about the this is that Pas is already 25 in Peace Walker which would make Quiet/Paz 34 in Phantom Pain and Quiet clearly looks like she's in her early-mid 20's. Gonna have to disagree with you on this one, I'm afraid. The Paz and Quiet look entirely different, and although people can change a lot in appearance over the course of 9 years, I'm not buying that considering Paz was, as you said, 25 in Peace Walker and therefore probably fully developed physically. This is of course to say nothing of the fact that Paz was almost undoubtedly obliterated at the end of Ground Zeroes. Sure, she survived a fall from ZEKE at the end of Peace Walker, but I think Kojima will probably only allow one miraculous survival per character.

That said, some have suggested that Kojima has said he is bringing someone back from the dead (though I've never seen this sourced by any user). Again, though, I don't see that person as being Paz (again), and my money's on Volgin if anything; see - from The Phantom Pain's trailers.

However, you've got to look at the fact that Tara Strong voiced Paz in Ground Zeroes and Peace Walker, and it'd make no sense to shuffle voice actors between The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes. Yet we see Stephanie Joosten doing the facial capture and the "voice" of Quiet as well. While Quiet may have a connection to previous (or even future perhaps) characters in the series, she's probably a new character altogether.
