***GROUND ZEROES SPOILERS** Another little MGSV Analysis: The other thing I found very interesting apart from the whole mystery surrounding Skull Face was the ending timeline that appears after the credits. All the dates that appear are pre 1984(the year The Phantom Pain takes place)apart from the final two dates.



2002 - Camp X-Ray, a black site for housing "enemy combatants" is established at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay.



2008 - The President of the United States publicly pledges to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.



Obviously the setting and story of ground zeroes features some commentary on guantanamo but I'm wondering if there is more to these dates being mentioned than just some political commentary.



One of the main visual themes in MGSV is the X ray design. The manual for GZ is X-Ray themed. We've seen TPP promotional posters that are X ray themed. The opening credits for TPP have been hinted at to be X ray themed and designed by Kyle Cooper once again... We see various X Ray images throughout the trailers as well.



I'm wondering will the game have some crazy S3 style twist with flashing forward to the future or something or if its just some political commentary that ties nicely into the themes of the game.
