However I think we need more infomation, before the game comes out; for example, is it true that Sutherland is voicing Ishmael? Also does the hospital and coma come directly after the end of ground zeroes? I'm guessing it does and the menu screen change in GZ after you beat the main mission is just Hideo or someone being artistic, but it could be a hint that more happens before the hospital/coma, I wouldn't put it past Kojima In one of the earlier trailers we can see a bloodied Big Boss on the helicopter overseeing what seems to be the destroyed Mother Base, that trailer is from before they split Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes (if I recall correctly) so maybe the scen is not canon anymore, but assuming it still is, Maybe something else happens that leaves him in a come or who knows maybe the first scen from Phantom Pain is him waking up and the Doctor telling him its been 9 years
