THE PHILOSOPHERS
Deeply tied with the story of Snake Eater and of the Cobra Unit is, of course, the story of the Philosophers. Before the Patriots, before even Cipher, there were the Philosophers, the organization that gave birth to it all, that, in more ways than one, defined so much of what happened in essentially the entire series. And while Metal Gear Solid 3 spoke of them and their “legacy” quite a bit, how amazing would it be to see a game focused completely on them and their formation? Going further back in the series’ chronology and expanding its lore and mythology even further isn’t something any Metal Gear fan would be averse to, and really, what better way to do all that than flesh out the story of the formation of the Philosophers?
