You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

    Except that Ground Zeroes exists and also Episode 46 of Phantom Pain. This would actually have made sense if ...

    Tap for spoilerHayter were involved to voice Naked Snake for his parts and then if Sutherland had only voiced Venom Snake.

    But that didn't happen. No, Hideo and Konami were just idiots about it starting with Ground Zeroes.

    Tap for spoilerAnd it would have worked perfectly with Hayter as both parts. He's a voice actor; he can do a second voice of Ishmael pretending to be someone else. As for Venom sounding the same, well, hypnosis/mind control and plastic surgery are basically magic in this universe anyway (see Decoy Octopus, Liquid Ocelot, or hell just Ocelot in this same game).

    Though that'd be torpedoed by Kojima's feud with Konami over crediting and its result of every scene in MGS5 listing (spoiling) its participants with a credit byline. In that case the intro could have used a different voice for Ishmael, and then the forced replay later that shows what actually happened could switch to Hayter.
