lol kojima-san says a lot o things to different interviews don't take that to hart. if he wonted English va he would use it in al versions of mg games and not bother with  Japanese va like capcom with biohazard(resdent evil).

Well, it could be just a business decision in order to sell more in Japan... But I guess you're right. If it were that important to him, he would take the Resident Evil route.

no it was to avoid a Zrating PG said it was done for cencership since konami didn't wont to publish a Z raed version in japan since same shops wont stock them

I know that they apparently focused on having cyborgs as enemies instead of humans to avoid the dreaded Z rating, but for some reason I thought they also had to avoid the use of red blood in general... But now that I remember, Resident Evil games are rated D there with some censorship, so things like dismemberment and decapitations are what get you a Z rating. Still, it seems like they could've gone with the white blood on all versions and get away with it by justifying it through the story/setting...

biohazard(RE) 4 had head dicapitation removied due to D not allowing head decapion of humans but biohazard 5 and were D rated without any cenorship at all. dismemberment is ok if no decapitation for example Ninja gaiden Sigma 2 had ismemberment of all humans but no decapitation of humans in JP version since it was D. Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge is Z so fully uncensord with full dismemberment and decapitation of all ennamys with lots red blood.

dismemberment and decapitation with a lot of red blood is what gets Z, MGR PG didn't take any of the combat or finshing or blade choping out all they did was palit swop the red blood for white for cyborgs(exept sam) to make it seem they were less human. and I agree they could have done that because of mgs4, but Kojima-san PG wonted to do a full onultra violent high speed hank and slash action game in the vain of ninja gaiden. so konami should have gone for example the no more heros red zone, lollipop chainsaw primium edition, Ninja gaiden Razors Edge rute of Z rating since Z is is tabue then a few years ago.
