IGN Interview with Stefanie Joosten

She said, “This game came out in 2015, and I think the video game landscape has changed quite a lot since then. People are looking for more representation, and I really get it. Quiet’s outfit is not practical at all. Even with the explanation that was given of her breathing through her skin, of course, there were so many other options you could have gone with. I do agree with that.

She further continued as, “I got to see the character artwork when we were starting motion capture, and of course my first reaction was, ‘that’s a very revealing costume’, but I respected it and accepted it. So that’s basically my stance. It’s fantasy, and I find that acceptable as well. But I do understand, having more of a diverse representation in video games for woman and all minorities is something I would encourage as well”

“When I went into the last motion capture sessions and also the voiceover sessions, I really felt, at the end, I was really saying goodbye to the character as well. So that really felt like closure, but who knows? It would be interesting to explore Quiet’s past, for instance.” She informed IGN. At the end of the interview, a question was asked whether he would wish to work with Kojima in the future and Joosten said “Absolutely“
