Given only a year left to live, Metal Gear Solid 4 sees a prematurely ageing Snake take
on his long-time nemesis Liquid Ocelot in his final mission.
The final chapter in Solid Snake's story tried to tie up as many lose up ends in the Metal
Gear saga's narrative as possible, with series creator Hideo Kojima seemingly trying to give
fans as much closure as possible.
This resulted in a big surprise during the game's ending, with Solid Snake's father Big
Boss not only making an appearance after his supposed death, but also meeting his son face
to face.
The pair discuss all of the events that had transpired and finally set aside their differences
- bringing about a culmination to a nearly 20 year conflict and battle.
"Let it go...
My son."
Big Boss tells Snake and they embrace each other in a hug.
The soldiers and former rivals exchange words of respect during this meeting and Big Boss,
unable to light his own cigar, is aided by Snake who dutifully lights it for him and
places it in Big Boss' mouth.
This scene is emotional in English but in the original Japanese version it's even more
so.
This isn't down to any differences in the script or visuals however, but due to the
casting decision Hideo made for Big Boss' voice actor.
You see, in the Japanese version of Metal Gear Solid 4, Big Boss is voiced by the late
Chikao Ōtsuka.
Conversely, Solid Snake's voice actor is Akio Ōtsuka - notice the identical surnames?
Akio is Chikao's real life son, with both of them being well-known and accomplished
voice actors in Japan.
This father and son relationship mirrors the events in-game perfectly and makes the scene
extra special - however that's far from all.
The circumstances between the voice actors were actually even more similar to the game's
that just being father and son.
The pair had actually fallen out and not spoken to each other in years.
Hideo then got wind of this and casted Akio's father for the role to try and help patch
things up.
His plan proved to be successful and it led to the Japanese version being that much more
memorable.
The English version however had no special significance with its voice actor casting
- with Big Boss being voiced by Richard Doyle, who has no known relationship with Snake's
voice actor David Hayter.
This may also be the reason why Solid Snake says he has a problem with Sonic The Hedgehog
in the crossover game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
When using the codec whilst fighting Sonic, Snake will repeatedly say that he doesn't
like him but when pressed for an explanation he says he doesn't have one but there's just
something about him he doesn't like.
In the Japanese version however, Snake's voice actor's father is famous for being the long
running voice actor for Doctor Eggman - Sonic's nemesis, which may have been what Snake is
referring to.
This isn't the only time that there's been some interesting differences between the Japanese
and English voice acting however.
For example, a big difference can be found in Metal Gear Solid 2, where the main antagonist
Solidus Snake is voiced by the same voice actor as Solid Snake in the Japanese version.
In the English release, he has a different voice actor completely.
This also ties well into the story, with Solidus Snake being said to actually be Solid Snake
for a portion of the game.
To add to this, when Raiden teams up with the real Solid Snake, Solid has his identity
disguised and uses a different name - leaving the player to question what exactly is going
on and in the Japanese version, with the shared voice actors between Solidus and Solid, even
more so.
What do you think about these casting decisions in the Japanese versions?
