It seems that the Metal Gear Solid franchise isn't stopping anytime soon with two more games on the way. But none of these games will be titled as Metal Gear Solid "5". And we all know that a fifth sequel will one day be released. So who will star in it? The most obvious awnser would be Solid Snake, Big Boss or Raiden. But Snake isn't in to good a shape anymore, Robo-Raiden will have his own game with MGS: Rising and Big Boss will apear in MGS: Peace Walker.
Now, it would be stupid of Konami to continu rehashing these characters for future sequels. They need something or "someone" new. However, a new character in an MGS game requeers a lot of delicacy. After all, we wouldn't want a repeat of the whole MGS 2 affair. So this new character shouldn't be a completely new one, but one the fans already know and respect.
In that case, wouldn't the BOSS be the perfect canidate as main character in the fifth installment? She's already probably the best character in the overall franchise and there's a lot about her past that's shrouded in mystery. She could have her own game just like Big Boss had with MGS 3, where we discover how he became what he became. In MGS 3 it was stated that the BOSS tipped the scale of WW 2 in favor of the allied forces.
Why not show that? Show how she started out as a simple soldier and got introduced to the Cobra-unit and the Sorrow and eventually became the greatest soldier at whatever price that may be. It would be a great chance to have the first female lead in the series and to see World War 2 through MGS-eyes.
So what do you think?
Would the BOSS make a good lead character?
