177.249.103.46 is a hero. Reading these synopses is so much easier than sitting through a two-hour video. The bit about the hidden textures of Ishmael's face revealing a face very similar to Big Boss' face is interesting. And that part linking Chico to mantises is good as well. That Chico bit in particular sounds a bit too farfetched to be a coincidence (to me, at least). I don't think Gray Fox is MGSV Snake (What do we call him, Punished Snake or Venom Snake?) but I would say that it is more likely that there is more than one Snake in MGSV than there being only one Snake (not counting Liquid Snake being Eli or the appearance of a young Solid Snake). I think the duration of the coma is an obvious plot device that can explain a need for a doppelganger Snake as well as an appropriate amount of time to make one. Reading through Gray Fox' biography again, I think it's a certainty that he plays an important role in MGSV. Finally, Kojima's quotes recently about MGSV being his final final MGS game (I know, he always says that) were intriguing to me because he said that MGSV would bring the series full circle, which could mean that MGSV could be much longer in terms of the events it covers that one would reasonably expect. Furthermore, it would be easy for Kojima to mislead everyone by only revealing characters who are important at the beginning of MGSV but not at the end. Also, the particular time period that MGSV covers provides the opportunity to include an enormous number of "past" MG/MGS characters as so many of them are still alive at this time. If MGSV's time period enters the 90s as well, that will allow the game to feature an extraordinary number of past MG characters. It's exciting just thinking about it, actually.
