Honestly, if it were obvious, someone at Kojima Productions would have stated it by now. Just as they did with Huey Emmerich and Kazuhira Miller in Peace Walker (and its not like we really needed any confirmation that Huey was related to Otacon. He looks just like him, albeit in a wheelchair), just as they did with Ocelot and, heck, even Naked Snake being Big Boss in Snake Eater. So far, we've gotten through its second showing at E3, and right now we haven't even gotten a single indication that Eli and Liquid are one and the same. What's worse is that right now it is getting very close to the release date, especially with the game being nearly-complete enough to have even the official site starting pre-orders for the game, meaning we're going to be quickly running out of time for them to unveil this information regarding whether Eli and Liquid are the same.
