Is there any way to play through the game again without losing progress?

[Roger]

So I was talking with a friend who doesn't have the game/any way to play the game about streaming it for them. Yes, I know I can just go back and replay every mission in order, but there's a lot of important side ops that aren't replayable, certain cutscenes that happen between missions, etc. etc. Wondering if there's any way to start the game again without losing my progress? I know on the main menu there's an option to delete save data; As far as I know the game uses cloud storage, so I'm not sure how/if backing up my data, deleting the save and starting over would work.

Anyone have any knowledge about this?

This. I got excited when I saw extreme and subsitance mode, thinking they were were going to be open to ALL the missions, not 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ missions and the "boss" fights. Theres nothing to do once all the main missions are done and I'm so done extracting these "highly" ranked C rank troops. Game needs a New Game Plus, or at least a hard mode like in Ground Zeros. D:

yea outside of FOB with cheaters, the games replayability really drops off. Can delete data and start fresh or wait for MGO. :(

yea i think its a shame i played a lot MGS 1,2 and 3 when it came out i remember for mgs 1 it was the stealth suit or the bandana u can get when u finished the game and otacon or meril was still alive so there was a lot to do. :(

There's a mod that returns Quiet after she leaves.

Oh god, yeah. I spent hours practicing GZ on Hard Mode planning to play TPP on Hard when it came out, only to find there was no difficulty option. Kind of a bummer that there's no new game plus or at least multiple save files like older MGS games had.
