* ExecutiveMeddling:
** The Japanese version of the game had to edit its torture scene to utilizing "Laughing Rods" instead of shock rods because of the censors demanding they do so to maintain their "C" rating (ages 15 and up).

Added DiffLines:

* FakeNationality: Due to the "independent from any nation" spirit of MSF, the fake accents vary :
** British-born Creator/RobinAtkinDownes uses his FakeAmerican accent to voice the Japanese-American Kaz Miller.
** Canadian Creator/TaraStrong voiced the Costa Rican Paz Ortega Andrade. [[spoiler:She also uses a pseudo-Russian accent for Pacifica Ocean.]]
** American Vanessa Marshall voiced British Dr. Strangelove.
** American Catherine Taber voiced the Parisian ornithologist Cécile Cosima Caminades. As a result, when her character had to actually speak French, she would simply sound like an American woman attempting French.


Added DiffLines:

* TalkingToHimself: In the English version, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Deputy Secretary of Defense are both voiced by Grant Albrecht.
* TeasingCreator: The only possible explanation for the two "date" missions. Hideo Kojima is laughing at all of us. Fortunately, we can laugh along with him.

** In the Japanese dub, Paz is voiced by NanaMizuki, and she had the honor of singing the first image song for Metal Gear.
*** In the English dub, Paz is voiced by... TaraStrong, who also voiced Rikku from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' (whom coincidentally Paz shares a similar face model with).
** [[TomokazuSugita Kazuhira Miller]] sounded like [[Manga/{{Gintama}} Gintoki]], and so [[YuuKobayashi Cecile]] sounded a bit like Sacchan.
*** In English, Miller's voiced by... no, not Cam Clarke, but Robin Atkin Downes, aka [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Travis Touchdown]] and [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Medic]]. His delivery is pretty darn similar to Cam Clarke's Miller, though. There's also some FridgeBrilliance in not casting Cam Clarke: [[spoiler: Cam Clarke never voiced Miller himself, but an imposter ''posing'' as Miller.]]

Added DiffLines:

** The train that Snake was supposed to stop the shipment of nukes by the Peace Sentinels was originally intended to be a playable level. If the storyboards are of any indication, that train would have ended up being shot off the tracks and plummeting.
** Peace Walker was originally supposed to heavily resemble Metal Gear REX, down to the railgun and even the design of its hangar was supposed to mirror REX's hangar on Shadow Moses.
** [[spoiler:Paz and Zadornov would have been discovered earlier to not be trustworthy (especially Paz), where Paz and Zadornov are overseeing its construction, and Big Boss discovers their affiliation to the Peace Sentinels by eavesdropping from a window in a manner very similar to how Solid Snake eavesdropped on Liquid Snake and Revolver Ocelot's conversation in ''Metal Gear Solid'' before Coldman finds and surrounds him. Coldman was intended to be killed by Zadornov alone with a gun to the head, and at some point later, Paz would actually [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder do the very same to Zadornov]] before hijacking ZEKE. If some of the storyboard sketches were anything to go by, Big Boss was apparently going to actually lead his troops on a sneaking mission rather than going in alone. An entire character model, the AI lab workers, who were implied to be of German origin, was also cut.]]

** Kojima originally had no intention to direct ''Peace Walker''. He intended to write only a rough outline of the game's plot and leave the rest to his younger staff, much like he did with the previous PSP games in the series (the ''Acid'' series and ''Portable Ops''), but he changed his mind when his younger staff did not understand the story's theme of nuclear deterrence.
