A change in Metal Gear models, as creator Hideo Kojima talks about the addition of having erotic characters in his Phantom Pain lineup

Ever since the beginning of the Metal Gear series, we've seen changes in the character lineup. Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Big Boss and so on. It's been quite a showdown of characters over the years, and they've evolved in the process. Now that we have Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain looming over our heads, Hideo Kojima wants to take his character involvement in somewhat of a new direction. So what could he do that hasn't already been done? How about something, well.....erotic? Yes, something of a sexual nature, and it's not me saying it, it's him Tweeting it. So where should I start?, how about right there?

 

• I've been ordering to Yoji to make the character more erotic, and he did it well. Recently I've been making characters this way."
  
• "I create the setting thoroughly, how he/she spent early life, name, style, favorite phrase, fashion, action to stand the character out."
  
• "The initial target is to make u want to do cosplay or its figurine to sell well."
  
• "Dear all Cosplayers. Will be disclosing 1 of the characters in MGSV, Quiet's CG data (inclu detail of her back) this Fri midnit (PST)."
  
• "Quiet's CG data this Fri midnit (PST) at Kojima Productions portal. Pls refer to that for those planning to cosplay for Quiet at TGS."
  
• "In fact, I was asked by one of the cosplayers. She asked the detail of Quiet as E3 trailer didn't reveal the detail."
  
• "Since I cannot reveal confidential info to individual, I decided to official announce."
  
• "The character I asked Yoji to make it more erotic, this one may not be cosplayable."
  
• "What if no one would do Quiet cosplay at TGS even though giving the info...lol"

 

A cosplay of the pic below? Interesting to say the least. Look, in Japan, there is no such thing as "politically correct". That means people don't get offended by the things others tend to. If Kojima wants to spice up the characters a bit, why not? He's been conversing with art designer Yoji Shinkawa on the matter. It'll be a treat to see the outcome of what he comes up with in the end. Racism and revenge are the central themes behind Metal Gear Solid 5, yet another interesting concept being introduced.
