Kojima senpai is so original, holy shit.
Literally every game after Metal Gear 2 has been Metal Gear 2 with a fresh batch of paint.
I mean, christ, MGS3 even takes place in the same location.

It says more about Landis than Kojima but people love to parror how "smart" and "post modern" MGS2 was when American Ultra had the exact same thing happen to it but called shit.

Its sad when FF is better written than MGS.

But the boss isn't a double though. He's still himself from SR1

>He now believes he's Zack Fair
Not true, though. Cloud doesn't believe he's Zack fair beyond that one bit in his flashback where he self inserts into his shoes to complete the mental gymnastics to convince himself that he was a SOLDIER 1st Class that knew Sephiroth and was at Nibelheim. Beyond that, Cloud's just doing his best edgy SOLDIER impersonation.

You forgot the obvious one.
