I admit. Knowing that the Metal Gear Story/Franchise is over, once and for all makes me feel a little sad. And I have felt like this before, when MGS4 was done. IMHO Kojima always stated that his "current" Metal Gear was suppose to be his last Meatl Gear. ...? So, after all our beloved games that "should have never existed" I am everything but convinced that TPP will be the last Metal Gear for real.

Lets just pretend Kojima is doing what he does. Saying this is the last one and 5 years later, voilà. So there is enough history in the MGS univers that is just knowen from graphic novels, the ps3 Database and so on. But putting a new game in the middle of that history again, its high likley that this game would come out with new retcons. Sure, I would love to play some origins of Liquid or Solidus to get more depth to this major charakters. Try to Imagine a game were we play all three clones, in young years and in first combat experiences, effekting the live of each other without even knowing.

I also would love to have a game around LET or the founding of the Patriots. Or the founding of the Patriots and LET and BB leaving the Patriots. That would close the hole between MGS3 and PO. But. like I said, this is gonna to be hard without retconning.

It is different with a game portaiing the Boss. So, I am totally with you on that. The Boss is a charakter that deserves a little more history and depth. She actually is the main canon of the franchise and we know very little about her compered to BB. I would not open a complete new franchise like Metal Gear Boss or something. But as a final, and i mean final peace to metal gear. I picture it like this. The game starts with WWII. It shows what kind of a Hero the Boss is and her relationship to the sorrow and later John too. This game might have a buddy system either, with the buddies beeing the Cobra Unit. Mission objekteves can include to protect John. The game would end with the Boss getting her title AND the orders for the virtous mission. With the mission beeing prepared The Boss leaves John knowing that she is going to die on that mission and that it is going to happen by the hand of her lover. Like she did with the sorrow. All that kind of stuff can be in that game. There is no need to worry about retcons. That game of course would suppose to be epic as hell but I think you get my idea.
