phew... I finally went back to the torture scene and saved Meryl so I could get the good ending, and now I've completed the game... only trouble is:

1. i'm confused about a single insignificant plot element: when Liquid finally "dies" (I assume he does of course :P) his death is blamed on FOXdie ... but is he actually killed by FOXdie? I swear I saw the transparent inversion of thermoptic camo in front of him, and his exact words aren't "FOXdie" - they're more like "Fox.... die"
or am I just being stupid / impatient to play MGS2?

2. isn't there supposed to be some sort of save screen? I got as far as "produced by Konami (etc.)" before not actually getting anywhere...

3. should I rush out and get Sons of Liberty, or should I wait just a little bit longer for the PS2 version of Substance to come out in Europe?

... hey wait, isn't this the first time I ever posted in the MGS forum?! a new beginning for every one-thousand posts... (i'll be posting in the GTA forum in a year's time then :laugh: )

As for 2, are you playing on a PS2? As if you are, it won't go past that bit of the credits so you can save after completing a game. You need to finish it on a PS1 to save.

As for 1, I'm pretty sure he dies from FOX Die, although I've heard many people think that it really is Fox in stealth, as the long Fooooxxx isn't in reference to FOX Die but rather to Grey Fox instead

That Grey Fox idea sounds intriguing, As far as I knew, he died of the Fox-Die poison. But if there Grey Fox was there in Camoflague, he surely didn't kill Liquid right there did he? I mean we would have saw the Ninja Blade slicing Liquid or his neck being snapped. Or maybe Liquid did die of Fox-Die, and as he died, he said fox...die as a camoflagued Ninja walked by.

I do think Fox is alive though, he's gotto come back for 3, Grey-Fox doesnt die, hes already been killed and he still came back, I dont think a big Metal Gear Rex can stop a cyborg like him, no way.

As for question 3, wait for Substance, it's much better. It wont be too much of a wait I dont think.

as for gray fox that stomp killed him alright, he is my top fav character along with solid snake, hes will make a comeback in mgs3 and fight with vamp. that would be so cool.

after metal gear solid 1 is over, would'nt a specialist team go in and search every where, they would find gray fox, and maybe bring him back to live, by experimenting on him like the first time.
thats just my theory anyway.
