* Early in the game as you first time see the Base Camp, you see a ruined Mother Base with Diamond Dogs logo on it. Keep in mind that Diamond Dogs didn't existed yet at the time of XOF attack and it might be just written as lazy asset reusing or designer error... [[spoiler: Until TheStinger, as explained in the main page, where it's said that the wormhole above Mother Base during XOF attack didn't appear, possibly due to StableTimeLoop preventing the appearance of the wormhole in the first place.]]

* [[spoiler:Why did Chris take the code name "Goodluck?" They're the last words he heard from everybody as he went through the wormhole.]]

* There are some subtle foreshadowing elements which show that Goodluck and the Captain have a deeper relationship then he's letting on. [[spoiler:Why does he spend so much time looking over the coffins for a candidate? Because he hasn't found a corpse that looks like the Captain yet. Why does he have tapes that are pertinent to the group's interests, even after he's arrested by Section? Because he lived through that experience with them and knows what to warn them about ahead of time. Why does he obsess over calling the player character Captain and having everyone else call him that? Because when he was Chris, that's what his little boy self remembers everyone calling the player character.]]

** In real life: the current ''Metal Gear'' team is separated from [[Creator/HideoKojima their leader]] who they dedicated themselves to, some for almost two full decades, and is seen as a nearly messiah figure to others in their field. Now they're are on a deadline to create a game against all odds using [[MissionPackSequel already made assets]] or [[YouHaveFailedMe risk being replaced]] by Creator/{{Konami}} and either fired or forced to work on whatever else the company wants.

* If these Mother Base soldiers are the same ones (the Wandering Mother Base Soldiers side op) you extract in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', no wonder they're so messed up in that game. Spending an unknown length of time in a desert dimension filled with zombies can't be good for your mental state.

Now they're forced to survive against all odds using scrap and other materials found to make weapons to fight off being killed or transformed by an unknown infection that makes mindless zombie-like creatures do whatever it wants.
