This is a place to talk about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain as well as other entries in the Metal Gear series. When talking about TPP, please be mindful of other people's desire to experience this game as they play. Some people are watching streams of this game, and some people already have copies, so information on the game is out there. I would like this to be a safe place from those spoilers. Once the game is released and more people have had the chance to play, if you want to discuss things that might be spoilers, please tag them and preface the statement with some notice of where in the game the event occurs. A mission number would probably suffice, but use common sense and don't be a loving idiot and everything should be fine. I'll update this op and the following post as new information comes out/as I see fit.

You could rent a copy while you wait for the CE version to arrive.

90 minute Q&A with Robert Peeler on youtube:
- Game needs to be running for research to tick away, no log out turn off wait a weekend
- First FOB is indeed available for earned in-game currency, expands MB capacity
- Four separate FOB areas if you pay up, what you gain is extra material income, no hint of increased PvP activity, just extra areas
- MB coin costs to be revealed at launch
- "You can visit a friend's FOB in the game", separate mode from ordinary FOB invasion/defense
- Nothing solid but keeping eye out for possible PC version cheats
- Fast and painless to go from mission to FOB defense, if so you are returned to your last checkpoint
- Missions and sideops can be replayed, additional confirmation that there is no point of no return
- Successful FOB invader gets a lot of soldiers, resources, GMP, taken from the defending player "to some extent"

Clears that up I guess

Now if they could decide on an actual release date

Only having 1 out of 5 possible FOBs if you don't use real money is bad.

I wonder what the rate of increased resources will be for each FOB. Or what the difference between locations means.

And do you need an FOB to invade someone else's?

Paying real money for something a player can gently caress with feels gross.

So I can't wait to gently caress with people's fourth and fifth FOBs

You can also get MB coins just by playing single player, IIRC

Hey guys I wanted to post this on the last thread but In Training locked it. If you're still trying to remain spoiler free be careful on YouTube! People are streaming the game and YouTube automatically picks wherever they're at in broadcast as the thumbnail.

There was something about getting mb coins as daily rewards for log ins. But nothing substantial like "you might get 10 and an FOB costs 100, good luck"

Kojima and KojiPro aren't seeing a penny of it anyway.

Hot off the Japanese faq

1. MGO will allow you to choose either "Japan" or "ROW" match-making.
2. You can infiltrate other players' FOBs and they can infiltrate yours even if you don't have PS Plus/Live Gold.
But you do need these services to deploy to defend your FOBs, and also for MGO.
3. Your Mother Base resources are kept separate from your FOBs'.
4. You can't use vehicles or buddies when infiltrating FOBs.
5. There will be FOB community events.

And by hot I mean late because I was busy in work
