* The back-story of Big Boss, Solid Snake's nemesis in the MSX ''[[Metal Gear]]'', was not fully fleshed out until ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', transforming what was a two-dimensional 8-bit villain into a tragic hero.
** Similarly, Solid Snake went in the 8-bit games from a silent protagonist with no backstory, to a [[Flat Character]] with no backstory. In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', he's given his crucial [[Backstory]] of being a clone/son of Big Boss, and his entire personality changed and developed as a result, becoming quite three-dimensional.
** McDonnel Miller in ''Metal Gear 2'' and ''Metal Gear Solid'', who served mostly to dispense fourth-wall breaking video game ergonomics trivia, became Kazuhira Miller in ''Peace Walker'', with a much more fleshed out personality and a backstory involving his mother having been a prostitute in Japan during [[World War II]], and witnessing the suicide of [[Yukio Mishima]].
