I wish they'd kept her with the uptight English accent, it gave her a lot more character. - I feel like the dumbest person in the world, because I can't tell the difference, except for her consonants being slightly softer in MGS4. I'M DEAF, I GUESS.
Considering the BB corps are all about being crazy with grief and pain, I feel like I'd at least respect Naomi a little more if she cried less and was slightly more insane. -...I think she's just more productively insane than most of the evil!characters. The lengths to which she'll go to to fulfil her ideals and feelings are extreme, but she keeps fairly calm on the outside.
Guilt about what happened to Raiden? Mm, I wondered if she was so upset because he was reminding her of her brother. ;_;
what on earth was that crazy Colonel AI voiceover for!? You can't just do those things without a reason! Why was Snake hearing it? - I don't know - the ones in Part 4 make more canon sense - but I wondered if it was connected to Screaming Mantis's presence (if I'm remembering right and she was

Hahaha! If it's any consolation, I've been brought up on a strict diet of UK TV so I'm super sensitive. :3 My opinions on Naomi are changing with each new chapter...

Then again, I always thought Dumbledore was bald with no beard, so not terribly intelligent :3I guess I'm going to have to wait till her final video to Otacon, huh? I only watched a few videos before playing, and that wasn't one of them. (OT, but would you believe that playing the iphone MGS4 spoiled me for a lot of the gameplay!? Like anticipating Octopus's little bombs coming out because they featured on the phone

I'd love to hear your thoughts as you go, though. :)

YES THIS. The Database says she met Frank in 1979, so she'd probably have been about 30 at Shadow Moses and nearly 40 by MGS4, but does she look it? :/ One could invoke Law #17 (NANOMACHINES), but really, that annoyed me.
I really like the psyche gauge for that reason, it lets us in on a little of what he's feeling.
I get the feeling it's something Snake wants to believe can happen in in the context of his impending death (the whole 'transmit your genes/memes' thing) and it's so desperate because in some ways Jack's even more damaged than him. ;___;YES, THIS. I

Mmm...kinda unnecessary given the WONDERFUL facial animation, though! I usually just found it an annoyance, but then oh my god Kojima it's like you actually love us or something.
