Maybe you are right, that was just my theory.

But I'm not sure about that all happens only in 1984, because, as I know, Big Boss will travel around the world but make in one year, in my openion, could be difficult. And as you said there is no hints that it is happens for a long time, I agree, but there also no hints that all heppens only in 1984.

As well as hints about Eli is Raiden or Liquid just theores like my. Maybe Kojima wanted us to think that Eli is Liquid, and when we'll play we'll see that Eli is someone else. He likes put unexpected story twists in his games.

I didn't see where it was said that Raiden was born as Jack. (I specialy read about him on this website)

About blades you're wrong, because he's been trained to fight with blades in childhood, that is why he was called "The Reaper"

And about appearence I must to agree with you. But maybe Raiden's appearence was changed, when he came into the hands of the Patriots that Solidus didn't find and set him against them.
