Trivia
In the first few minutes of the game, Snake's vision slowly un-blurs as a nurse enters the room to check on him. The player will briefly see her trimming some flowers. These flowers are the "Star of Bethlehem" lilies that appeared during the final boss battle of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, in which Naked Snake eliminated The Boss in a field of said lilies.

Goofs
At a certain place in the game, "qarya Sakhra Ee", there is a tape playing Europe's "The Final Countdown". As the game is supposed to be set in 1984, this would be incorrect as the track was not released until 1986.

Quotes
Kazuhira Miller: Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past!

Crazy credits
After completing the Truth ending, a time line appears and shows all the events that happened in the Metal Gear Universe from 1942-2014. It also reveals that, in 1995, the Outer Heaven uprising occurs, but is stopped by Solid Snake, who kills Big Boss's phantom; Punished 'Venom' Snake. The time line ends with 'Big Boss dies'.

Best Metal Gear yet! (no spoilers)

Once you are dropped into the game, you are treated to beautiful cinematics and mystery. Even if you have played all of the games in the series, there is a lot of mystery and confusion. The game does a great job at revealing its story, and filling the past games' plot holes and "now I know now" moments.

The game-play of The Phantom Pain is more fluent and dense than any other in the series. From the facial animations to the crouch movement, You can clearly see the amazing effort Kojima Productions and Konami had put into this game. All of the good details, graphics, and animations all look perfect in the game's cut-scenes.

In The Phantom Pain, there is no longer the "stealth or guns- blazing" decision making. It is Unexplainable of how many ways you can infiltrate, kill, travel, or anything else (So many choices!). It has the most choices of game-play of any game EVER! Even so that I just can't explain it!

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is easily the BEST stealth oriented game to date, and the most game-play choices of any game in existence! Everybody should buy this game when the chance is given!
