So i'm so used to his voice that i'm not sure I can really feel at home with Kiefer Sutherland. The change makes no sense to me either since Kojima had the same Japanese voice actor for Snake literally voice both Big Boss and Solid Snake in the games. Not having David Hayter for this final MGS Kojima game feels like a giant slap in the face of the man who has been voicing Snake for almost 20 years.

I'm okay with it. As I understand it, MGSV is the transition from Snake to Big Boss, and as such, his voice will emphasize the change, as does his arm and the metal "horn" lodged in his head. Notice how in the end of MGS4 *spoiler ahead!* Big Boss and Snake do not have the same voice despite that fact that they're (essentially) the same person and (probably) the same age. *spoiler over* It's jarring to hear another voice coming out of Snake, I don't know if going to get used to it, but there is a purpose behind it.
