I know there's people concerning about "Quiet" but don't worry. I created her character as an antithesis to the women characters appeared in the past fighting game who are excessively exposed. "Quiet" who doesn't have a word will be teased in the story as well. But once you recognize the secret reason for her exposure, you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds.

Theme of "MGSV" is "GENE"⇒"MEME"⇒"SCENE"⇒"PEACE"⇒"RACE". Story touches the misunderstanding, prejudice, hatred, conflict caused by the difference of language, race, custom, culture, and preference. The response of "Quiet" disclosure few days ago incited by the net is exactly what "MGSV" itself is.

「クワイエット」について危惧されている人もいるようですが、大丈夫です。彼女は昔の露出過度な格闘ゲーム系女性キャラへのアンチテーゼとして生んだものです。言葉を持たない彼女は、今回と同じ様に、物語の中で周囲から揶揄されます。しかし、その露出の秘密を知ると、その言動を恥じる事でしょう。

「MGSV」のテーマは「GENE」⇒「MEME」⇒「SCENE」⇒「PEACE」⇒「RACE」です。言語や民族、慣習、文化、嗜好の違いからくる誤解、差別、憎悪、紛争に触れます。今回の「クワイエット」公開に対する一部ネットでの扇動された反応は、まさに「MGSV」そのものといえます。

Thoughts? Kojima is basically taking up the "you lack context because you haven't played the game" defense. Since MGSV doesn't even have a release date, it's going to be a long wait! Can people wait? Will they wait? Should they wait?

Silly duckroll you didn't need to translate it!

He just added some more stuff:

What if she escaped from somewhere where such horrible things happened to her and the only clothes she could find were scraps and old pants. She doesn't speak anymore because she is so emotionally scarred she dare not speak to a soul.

You guys... you're going to want to protect her.

Kinda worried about the story. Sounds like a slew of forced, convoluted nonsense.
 
Ah, so we have to know her tragic backstory to understand why she dresses like that. That'll probably go as well as those "let me tell you a long boring story about these B&B girls you just killed" Drebin scenes

"Laughing Badger watched her whole family killed by badgers. She still hears the screams of the badgers in her sleep, badgering her mind. The evil badger spirit lives on in her, consume by rage, where all she can do is laugh. She also has to dress in very tight outfits and we got sexy official 3D renders because badgers killed her whole family."

I don't know what you're talking about!

Edited OP, thanks.
 
Its going to be some Kojima anime bullshit like "she has to be naked because if she doesnt absorb X amount of sunlight she will DIE" isnt it? That wouldnt make it better.
 

With Kojima history behind pandering and sexuality, is hard to believe there's a serious theme behind Quiet exposure. But, why not? I'll wait.

In Kojima we trust.

I've enjoyed his games and his plots and the contexts he provides for his characters for the past 15 years, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I hope there's an easter egg in MGSV that when you try to focus on Quiet's private parts she will miraculously speak "Caught you fapping huh!"

Good to hear that it hasn't bothered him. I wish more developers worked on improving their games rather than finding reasons to throw tantrums on twitter.

The excuse will probably be that she was captured, probably tortured/naked and she scavenged for the only clothes she could find or some shit.

Maybe Big Boss is a big racist, and really couldn't ever stand SIGINT?

It's not like Kojima gives a fuck about the story after MGS4. This'll let him explain the bad guy turn in a cutscene.

Cringe-worthy story telling right there. And this is supposed to be the golden peak of video games storytelling.

What was the context for being able to jiggle Rose's boobs by shaking the controller in MGS4?

How did that help stop the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?
