Speculation: Was MGSV meant to be episodic?
#1


It always struck me as odd that the game displays a trailer... for content that's immediately accessible thereafter.  Or... in the case of the Paz subplot, already previously available.  And the disarmament cutscene.  I wonder - was the original plan to ship the game, let it conclude after the fight with Sahalenthropus, and then have subsequent story beats doled out as updates / DLC?   I think that might explain why the last stretch is so oddly paced, fragmented and to many, feels incomplete.
