MGS V: Paz Final Tape

Woah
METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

[@TJVBernal]

"You can kill Skull Face, murder Huey, slaughter Zero.. Burn the whole world down, and it still won't bring me back" Damn, Venom Snake is just filled with ragel. That's his mind at work. He's probably just listening to Love Deterrence.

[@chainz8]

Kind of nice how when the tape ended, the sun seemed to be rising from looking at the chopper's window. It was as if to say to keep moving on. A new day is coming...

[@abeld94]

Actually when you unlock this tape (after watching the cut scene) it's always at night. When you hear that, the sun rises. It's a nice detail. I was driving in the mother base and stopped to heard this. The sun rises, a very nice look Glad you point about this

[@Bleinsfield]

This ended up being my favorite part of the game. This little four minute tape sums up the theme of The Phantom Pain and does it better than a lot of the game ended up doing.

[@Okazu84]

+Bleinsfield Finished the game a couple of days ago after wasting 190 hours of my life on it. Never before did I ever put so much investment of my time into one and the same entertainment piece, even MGS. And I have to say you summed the value of that particular tape just brilliantly. The painful strength and depth of that sadly beautiful moment when you finally realize there is no room for ideals, hope or bright future in the business of war, pretty much aggregates everything that is missing from the official storyline's flawed, clumsily-timed and incomplete ending, we all know the behind-the-scenes struggles that plagued the game from having proper finition, but Paz's particular story gives pause in that regard, and may well in fact be the closest thing to a real fitting ending we have at our disposal in PP. And in that regard, it warms the heart when I read so many lines corroborating my personal experience almost to the letter. I once thought I was getting fixated, obsessed with the terrible fate of that girl taken from her peaceful, normal life so early on and forcefully turned into a senseless spying-machine that only got a very brief opportunity at looking back at the world with a fresh view, all that to end even deeper into the worst kind of hell the world had to offer for a 20 year old girl alone in the face of overwhelming adversity... as if she was destined to be even more punished than V for sins that she hadn't even committed... the most powerful moment, the most powerful message indeed. One of the few times that fiction managed to get to me so genuinely without fading for several days straight.

[@Bleinsfield]

+Abtin A That is a great summation of how powerful this scene is! I almost wish they had made this tape the very last part of the game, because "I know exactly how to finish. Say peace!" would be a really great closing line.

[@DivumLoftur]

+Abtin A At the end I didn't feel anything with the Quarantine scene, or Quiet's ending and I felt the ending of the game was a half-assed experience. But this quest line caught me off guard, and I loved it. Because I hated Pacifica Ocean, I thought she was just a spy and that the game would make feel sorry for a character that wasn't a good person ( like other Metal Gear games have tried). But this tapes made me like Paz, the fictional character created by Pacifica. I felt she represented a peaceful and warm part of a game that was filled with negativity, it reminded me of Peace Walker. And so I wanted to finish the quest thinking that I could bring Paz back, not Pacifica Ocean, and even if it was a false personality, it made me happy. When I heard the last tape I couldn't believe how much the game understood what I was feeling, it really made me feel like I thought I had lost something and that I could bring it back somehow, but it wasn't real at all, nothing was there and I couldn't have done anything , it really felt like a Phantom Pain. Also it made me feel like I was in the shoes of a MSF soldier from Peace Walker, someone who missed the old days, even if they were filled with war and rage, they were somehow happier times, none of the soldiers knew Paz was lying, but as you can hear in her diaries from Peace Walker, they were all kind to her at Motherbase, she represented those times to the people who were part of MSF, to people like The Medic... Kojima tried to make me feel like I was Big Boss and he failed horribly, but maybe (unintentionally even) he found a way to make me feel like I was The Medic, just another soldier of MSF.

[@Okazu84]

Yeah, even though I only got through the experience and plot of PW via movie-like playthroughs (and specifically to learn more about Paz rather than anyone else in that episode, to be honest), I think I got most of the complexity of this particular and apparently quite underrated character. Many people will stop at the surface and see a ruthless spy and not forgive her for her sins, but PP reminds us that there is no natural evil or hatred, but merely manipulation, mental programming by greater, dominant powers, and indoctrination in the end. Just like countries do with each other, people do as well. The other message I take out of her story is that at worse, we are born neutral, as a normal person, and develop flaws and qualities, ideals, dreams and expectations like anyone else when years pass. And this, no matter the kind of outside influence someone tries to convey us day after day. That there can be space for our humanity even though it is clouded, repressed, diluted by some wicked education that goes against what we really are. The proof of it being that Kojima subtly let us show growing signs of weakness from her recounted in tapes during her stay at Motherbase, expressed by her inability to shoot Chico in the back even though he posed a direct challenge to her orders and mission, or the fact that she tries to do some controlled sabotage to Zeke in order for her new life experience to run a little longer until Peace Day comes, the latter being in her eyes the apex of that alternate life, the peak of her piece of temporary dream, the very first personal, individual, free moment that she could grasp safely away from Cipher’s will. For the first time ever, she stopped being the orphan appropriated and then coerced as a living weapon by Cipher since childhood. What really hurts in all this is obviously the terrible fate that she is “awarded” by fate in return for doing so… submitted to unspeakable abuses by the hand of some perverted, faceless, miserable caricature of a human being that is Skullface. I’m guessing, though I’m not sure, that Kojima used her example to tell us that there is no heaven in war, no matter how innocent, young, brave or dedicated one can be. That no miracle happy ending can arise, no magical force will come to aid or lift you up. Same for Chico that is forced to rape her while he loves her, and the child soldiers that keep on following Eli no matter what, despite having their chance at another kind of life once outside of the battlefield, as V would have hoped. Achab seems to be the only idealist in PP in my opinion, and that is why he grieves so much about everyone he has lost and has a particular sensitivity towards children. So far as we know, the real Big Boss doesn’t share much of these emotions. After all he let even Miller down and it doesn’t seem to bother him that much, let alone the fact that he barely even reacts when explicitly told that the hospital staff will be a shield to his condition until he gets out with Achab when the time comes, so to hell with all the other innocents patients and the very staff that saved his life as well, and let’s ask for a light from Ocelot and ride our nice bike on the road to our personal goals huh? It is another hint that remorse, empathy and emotional pain have all been shut out of him long ago with everything that happened in Snake Eater, from the loss of his mentor on. Just my two cents, but if and when the next installment of the series comes out, we will see very different bosses coexist, and we have yet to receive our biggest surprises as to what kind of “enemy” he ultimately proves to be to Solid. I pray so that the brilliant team behind Kojima’s leadership can pass on. The creators will have to choose between showing us a leader welcoming some timely and liberating death at the hands of the new generation, or get taken aback by Solid’s superior skills and ability at taking him down, manipulated by the real Boss just like his own opponent.

[@SuddenlyIndebt]

+Abtin A I wholeheartedly agree, Big Boss took the cowardly way out and lost a little bit of my respect during MGSV. Venom Snake was a medic, a man dedicated to saving lives. To see so many of his fellow comrades go up in flames on Motherbase that day really hurt him but what hit him the hardest seems to have been Paz's death. To the medic, Paz was this loving carefree girl who thought of worldpeace. He didn't know/or care about her later betrayal because he wasn't the one who had to fight her during Peacewalker. Venom Snake really shows you the emotional pain of dealing with PTSD

[@blazesaber5991]

Manly tears were shed when i got this tape.

[@Grillorigrillo]

This is it, you can literally burn the world down, destroy everything around you, it won't bring what you lost back, it won't ease your pain. Sometimes, you just have to let it go, just cherish the memories of what made you happy, don't let your soul be destroyed by rage and thirst for revenge, or you will be like Miller and Venom Snake: sad, angry shells of what they once were. Let go your phantom pain end embrace inner peace

[@leolusanez5378]

Fuck man, I was able to hold the tears back after watching the video. Then I saw your comment. Well played.

[@IcedEarth426]

The last tape hit a personal chord with me, because it reminds me of a real life conversation I had with a woman that I loved at one time. Certain circumstances drove us apart, to where it was not physically possible to be together anymore, to where we pretty much lost each other (she ended up having to move out of the country). But she offered words similar to the one on the tape, about how we would always be each others love in our hearts, even if we were physically gone from one another. Fuck.

[@Pi0h1]

The fact that this is not Paz talking to Venom Snake, but Venom Snake talking directly to the player through Paz makes this one of the most clever pieces of writing throughout the entire series. "It is no mystery now. I am just a phantom, a fragment of the mind you have lost" "Let it fly out. Let it guide you. Live. I think it's my job to tell you that... That is why I exist." "So this tape is the last one. Once you are done listening to it, I am one phantom limb that will be gone for good." "But do not forget. As long as you remember me, I will always live within you. Not a phantom limb, or a phantom anything. As part of your heart."

[@TheFattestBlunt.]

"When i was on mother base, I was happy" That his so hard, considering some of the best times in my life were during my time playing peace walker. And I just wanna go back to those days.

[@T2266]

god, this hurts so much.

[@crowman1795]

I remember being a lonely 19 year-old, playing this game on their birthday, 7 years ago, with nothing better to do and nearing its climax. I woke up that Saturday morning to a lovely, albeit scripted jingle on Mother-Base. It was a nice, hidden little tid-bit of added detail that none of the devs had to put the effort in. Yet they did. All of my S soldiers were there. Kaz was there. Ocelot was there. And I was there. In a world of my own making, it made me feel like I was accomplishing some minute amount of progress, even for a second, regardless of reality. And so, I was compelled to progress. The game explicitly told you which would be the final mission, so I strived to complete every other side-objective or achievement before ending the game. And there I was. After chasing down soldiers of a broken past, I stood, in a cold infirmary, before a familiar face I had seen 7 years prior, on a 480 × 272 pixel resolution screen, in a dark-brown classroom over the course of a year. A faire-headed lady whose fate has been left up to imagination no longer. She spoke to me. She talked with me. She told me what, how and where. And when... and why... and I was grateful for such a wonderful reminiscence of the past. I thanked Godjima for what he had given me on that fateful 19th of April. He allowed me to spend just a little bit more stuck in time immemorial when life was simpler, kinder, maybe, foolishly, gentler, as I collected flowers in hopes for a hasty recovery. To recover what was lost. An emotion, gone to the ether, a phantom lost to time. And so the time came, for the abyss to claim what is rightfully hers. The hope, the trust, the brightness of tomorrow, all gone in a flash of brilliant light, diffracted through streams on my cheeks, as I hold her through my phantom limbs one last time. I remember that day fondly, for nothing else has every managed to extract such essence of grief from the very crevices of my soul. And so, I thank Kojima for what he had given me that day. And curse his essence, because Kojima giveth, and Kojima taketh away. Thank you...

If you played peace walker then you know this tape hurts the most out of all of them. Nearly shed a tear

[@queenofbel]

Yeah I definitely teared up at this one. These tapes are also really sad when you compare her tapes in PW bc they both chronicled the exact same events, but from two different perspectives- who Paz *should* be, and who Paz became due to her intense fear of Cipher. Like in PW where she mocked Cecile, calling her a "ditz" for having romantic feelings for Snake, but then in MGSV, Paz was more accepting of her own feelings for Snake. Or like in both games, she talked about how bad Kaz's singing is, but in MGSV, she catches herself and comments that was a mean thing to say. Paz really is a great character and she's tied for my favorite in the entire series.

[@eddycharles4274]

I was wrong about Paz. I hated her after she hijacked ZEKE and tried to kill the Boss. I thought she deserved all the torture Cipher did to her. Then after hearing all the tapes, after she gave her life to save Snake and after listening to this tape, I realized she wasn't such a bad person. She was an angel of peace forced to work for demons. Cipher was the only family she ever had and they didn't even care about her. But Kaz, Chico, Amanda, Snake and everyone else did. She was happy being with them. She learned to love everyone, she loved mother base and she loved Snake.They weren't just a mission, they were the family she never had. She changed. She helped bring out the love and peace that Snake had locked away.

[@sonozaki0000]

I first listened to this tape while facing out at the evening sun on Mother Base... shit hurt so bad. Honestly when this sidequest started, I hated it because I thought Paz had actually survived. Once I finished and found out why everything was the way it was, it became probably my favorite story of the game. So well done and it was the best example of the "Phantom Pain" that was the theme of the game. Tara Strong's top notch voice acting is what made it all the better. I love how her voice progressively changes from the fake happy Paz to a more normal voice as the tape goes on...

[@galogarzonbenavides1021]

@@amqru She literally says that no matter what she does it's always the day she betrayed MSF.

[@masterofbloopers]

When I first played Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain around 2016, those were my first MGS games. I had no idea who Paz was, so her death never affected me. After just finishing playing through the rest of the games last month, I got to Peace Walker and ended up loving Paz. I found her so adorable, and she made me happy every time I saw her. Even after she betrayed MSF, I still liked her. Then I remembered MGSV existed. The AOL dial-up noise started playing in my head as I put two-and-two together. When I finally came to the realization, I let out an audible "OH NO!" I went back and played through MGSV, and all the Paz stuff hit about 1000x harder. I started my Tour de MGS to help me get over another death of a fictional character that hurt even worse than the Paz one. Little did I know... it's not over yet!

[@alexfebrianoo]

"peace day is always three days away" I don't know how to feel about this

[@tieselbonn5365]

2:45 onwards, I recieved a voice message of similar wording. I listen to it over and over like some sick obsession. I met this girl I really liked for the first time... but we have to go our seperate ways. The day we met, and her last voice message.... they echo through Paz's last words here.

[@jamesburton6580]

I've always wondered if Kojima was trying to say something here about his own life experiences. Snake lost 9 years and many aspects of his life following this attack on his base. Venom comes to the realization through Paz that at the end of the day every moments thinking and worrying about the past keeps him trapped there. Skullface took his past, so he can't let him take his future as well. Maybe this how Kojima feels about MGS or even some other aspect of his life. His work, his relationships. Who knows. At the end of the day I think the message is really strong and more relevant then ever. We all missed out on things because of the pandemic for example. We've all spent plenty of time doing things we don't want to to survive and make other people money. We've all wasted years on mistakes. Many of us may have spent years in misery trapped in abusive relationships. Maybe some of us spent years studying subjects we never enjoyed, or spent decades working at jobs we hate. Almost all of us, if not all of us, are going to feel that phantom pain, the pain of lost time, and the time spent thinking about it puts us right back there, like we're still experiencing just like our boys at mother base do with their legs and arms and comrades. Those times are not in our hands. We can't undo the past, we can't make our past hurt less. All that we can decide is what to do with the present and hope for a better future. So yeah, like Paz said let the real emotion fly out. Let it guide you and live.

[@Eyes-Scream0213]

Damn! This hurts a lot.... It's really hard for the medic since he is the one who really failed to save Paz. Big Boss did everything to save her but In the end he is not the one who can save Paz. That's why the medic was being haunted by the past. Seriously the last makes me cry 😢

[@thequestion2859]

I heard this for the first time tonight. As soon as Venom woke up on that empty platform, I ran off and tried to run and go into that room again but it was no use. I could push the button but much like Paz herself, it's gone for good and it was never there to begin with. I punched the door with the bionic arm, crouched in front of the door, and played the tape Absolutely the emotional peak of the game, I'm glad I got it after having learned the truth. I'm still confused how Paz relayed this information to Venom, but even still it was the definitive epilogue and a perfect note to end on "Peace day never came.'

There's a lot of people telling their love story here, so I'll join, since I also hear the voice of that girl within Paz's message About two years ago, I met a girl who was very very rude towards others, however, she started to like me, and I became closer to her. When I was close enough, I saw the "real her". She suffered bullying when she was little, her family treated her like a fuckin' slave, and she created herself a bad persona just so she could justify all the bad things that happened to her. She started to be more sweet and caring towards me and other people thanks to being in love with me, as I treated her kindly and tried to develop her true personality and help her. When time passed, I started to fall in love with her too, and we started to have a relation of "more than friends, but less than a couple", since I wasn't ready due to past traumatic experiencies with women. But the last three months of our "relation", went fully downhill. She started to become mean and rude again, started to get depressed like before meeting me, and started develop a personality disorder, I did what I could, but one day, she dumped me on, and when I tried to talk to her, it was like if I was talking to the person I met before growing up so much. I felt truly heartbroken. One night, she talked to me and said that she was very very sorry, that she loved me, that she just couldn't stop crying about what happened and felt bad, I told her that everything was okay, and we could be happy again. Everything returned to normal, until a couple of days later, again, returned to her "pre-me" personality and again, dumped me. Her last words to me before becoming rude again marked me. They were very similar to Paz's, she talked about how we suffered and waited to a day that wouldn't come, but we were so happy, she talked about how she felt thinking about trying to get me back but simply, felt like she couldn't. I currently don't have any news about her, I don't know anything about her personality disorder, maybe the sweet girl that I used to love is gone foerever, and I'm truly feeling a phantom pain. For everything, thank you Miriam, you will always have a part of my heart.

Peacewalker was really like the calm before the storm. Paz was alive & happy to be at mother base. Kaz still had all his limbs and his eyes werent fucked up from parasites. Hell there was even the dates with Kaz and Paz. They were going to make a band for peace day, and i wish we couldve heard it. I loved Peacewalker. My favorite psp game. Then the storm of Ground Zeroes happened and motherbase fell to xof. Then 9 years later we awake from a coma thinking were big boss, but in reality were only his phantom. Just like how Paz was a phantom in the medics subconscious. God I love these games and Kojima for creating such unique characters & stories. Mgsv the phantom pain is so mysterious since we play as Venom. A man made to look and sound like big boss while also having all his memories & missions. Which alone could fuck with a persons mind. Then throw in the shrapnel in his head causing his brain to hallucinate. Its no wonder why Venom was plagued with visions and thoughts that werent real. Such an interesting and cool character.

Peace Day never came

[@alexmear5096]

I fought snake: I didn’t beat the game until I heard this and I thought it was weird but it’s a subtle hint that venom snake isn’t big boss

[@youtubeiswarpingdiscourseb7368]

Rest in peace Paz

[@001heeroyuy]

[@001heeroyuy]

[@Nest1089]

*tears*

[@arthur.lass7814]

That final tape It's Hideo talking to us! the fans who felt the phantom pain. Say Peace!

[@NoName-pn3kp]

Is it me or is metal gear pretty depressing like everyone you love in the game dies your whole mother base give or take a few, Paz Chico like it was one of the best story’s I’ve played but it’s just depressing seeing everyone die

[@ShadowIsatis]

The FEEEELLLS!!!!!😢😢😢😢

[@Yazanova]

So when she said thats its just a dream, does that means she was never actually in the new mother base ? And she was killed in the chopper ??

[@VicBossMG]

she was always dead, you are the medic from the explosion that protected big boss and he was the one who didn't get the last bomb in Paz and because of it you feel guilt that you never saved her so he has illusions of her in his head to cope with it. it is all a phantom to him for not saving her and he carries the guilt with him.

[@Yazanova]

+Matthew Medina i see, close about of what I thought, thx

[@Nest1089]

Venom

[@fenrir2225]

So basically Big Boss was having a dream, and now he has phantom pain in his mind, or was it just a halucination?

[@victorfarias8086]

No. Because he's not Big Boss.

[@Mr.Scott86]

@@victorfarias8086 well he might as well be big boss anyway

[@mariodaboss3397]

my favorite was quiet's tape and final goodbye

[@deathnyx]

So touching... Btw there is a background music (2:10 but i think it start since the beginning of the video) anyone know what track is it?

[@Mcgeezaks]

Search for ''Love Deterrence - (Paz Theme) [Acoustic Guitar Duo]'' on KZbin.

[@deathnyx]

Thx. Just wonder if you know even the bg music that starts at 0:30.

[@superskeetospro]

I wish you could only play this tape once. The Hud would be fine except for this entry. It's glitches out and phantom like ooooo. Then you play it and can never access it again. Would've hit like a truck

[@darkspike0392]

Such an old comment section so I doubt I'll get a reply but were these tapes real or were they Venoms imagination

[@OTRHVN44]

More than likely Venom's imagination as a coping mechanism for having to deal with the memories of two different people and the guilt of losing Paz and all of the others lost during the destruction of MSF's Mother Base at the end of Ground Zeroes.

[@rafifthesecond9023]

How do you get all the paz tapes?

[@astroguyy-2723]

Collect all the momento photos from the wandering mother base solider and give them to her

[@the_wooden_bear]

Sooo.....is snake imagining this tape or what? How did he possibly get it

[@TrueKingOmega]

It is more of a "mental" tape, it is not really there.

[@adrianrojas8771]

Guess you could call it... a Phantom Tape

[@tuulenkoti]
