MGS: Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain Save Transfer

Put about 10-12 hours over the past week getting all trophies myself(I only played the core mission once at launch, so practically started from scratch again this week to prep for TPP).

All I still have left is getting S-ranks on Hard for 100% complete on the title screen(~84% currently with all trophies), but I won't bother since it seems doing that transfers nothing. Earning them on normal was pretty fun though, despite a few initial (slightly frustrating) runs to get accustomed to the stealth and avoiding AI quirks, but my opinion really turned around on the game once I learned the map and felt comfortable dealing with the AI.

Very skill dependant, it took me about 3 hours, but you can probably burn through them in an hour and a half.

Cool thanks. UPS doesn't deliver until the late vEvening so I'm gonna see if I can at least get Hideo.
 
Gray Fox is still Unconfirmed, nobody reported his skin carrying over yet. Raiden is supposed to unlock later.

We still don't know the requirements for the gold hand.



The special units are Kojima, The Eye, The Finger, The Agent, and the Bald guy.
Thanks, I got that covered. For some reason I was thinking of vehicle units. :P
 
So just to recap, those are the items that transfer and their requirements:

- Motherbase units: you get those by extracting 14 prisoners of war and 5 special units.

- Sneaking suit: You only need to have a GZ save.

- MGS1 Snake: Complete Deja Vu.

- Raiden: Complete Jaimi Du.

- Gold Hand: Unknown requirements.

- Unconfirmed: Raiden white suit, Gray Fox.

Anything else?

I uploaded my 100 percent save this morning and strangely all I got was the Sneaking Suit (PC) for some reason. I can't try again yet because Konami's servers have gone offline again.

They're supposed to unlock after the third or fourth mission.

Can anyone confirm weather or not you need to own GZ for the PC transfer?

Yes, you need to upload the save to Konami's servers from GZ.
 
Can anyone tell me if the GZ PS Plus savegame carries over to PP? I have seen people talking about a code, but this is just the physical version right? I'll be getting it on the way home from work and would rather my hard work not go to waste.

know this has been asked many times probably, so apologies. I did a ctrl+F on the last few pages and couldn't find anything.

Anyone?
 
So is it confirmed or not that we can upload/download save multiple times?
I'm missing a couple of POWs and agents in GZ but I want to play TPP now.
 

From Konami's support website:

Konami Support said:
For those who had purchased the game digitally, regardless of region, the entitlement to the DLC received from registering the game via KONAMI Core will be linked to either your PlayStation or Xbox Live account – METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN will check that the game is in your purchase history, and will grant rights to that DLC when the game is released.

That should do it. Gonna keep digging around while I lie here not able to get the game.... mrgrgr

Same here, but I did get special units like Hideo and two people with FOX tattoos on their face. I also got the PS1 Snake suit available for research.

I want that damn gold hand.
 
Got the Sneaking Suit, Kojima, staff members with bad tattoos, a couple of extra generic ones, and that's it. No Eye/Finger, MGS1 Snake, Gray Fox or Raiden.
 
Huh, so I copied the save over. But it's not letting me transfer. I don't own Ground Zeroes on PC I owned it on PS4, guess I can't do it :/
 
Maybe that extra bit in the Vu missions where you dissolve the Kojima games' logos gives you the gold arm?

It probably does, as it's the only thing in the game I didn't do (other than completing all the trials - though I did unlock them all).
I've done both of those, no gold hand yet

So I grabbed a used PS4 copy of GZ when I got PP for PS4. I started with GZ. The insert CORE code wasn't good, but I had GZ digitally on PS3 and I think that allowed me to use the upload savegame thing for the PS4 version? I haven't started PP yet, so I can't verify if that's the case, but I think that code is just an unlock key to use the upload save data to PSN feature in GZ for all your copies of the game as long as you're logged in as you? Is that right?

tldr:I own PS3 digital GZ, PS4 physical GZ with no CORE code, and PS4 physical PP. Does my PS3 digital authentication of GZ mean that my physical PS4 copy's saves are going into my PP copy when I get to that?

The core code gives you some dlc content, unfortunetly I can't even use it. It says it's incorrect/invalid. :/
 
Can anyone confirm weather or not you need to own GZ for the PC transfer?

Yes, you NEED Ground Zeroes for the platform you're playing Phantom Pain on for the transfer.

The ONLY exceptions is:

X-box 360 GZ->X-box 720 PP

AND

PS3 GZ->PS4 PP

And for the person that asked: YES you can upload a more current/more complete save after uploading another one previously.
 
If i just wanted Kojima can i get him, load the save and be done? It's really the only thing i want from GZ in my Phantom Pain, skins don't really matter to me. I will do whatever else i can on the way to getting him of course.

If so i will pick up GZ when i pick up MGS V later and just bang that mission out.

You have to beat a couple of missions before you unlock that mission. I think it's the third one, not sure about it.
 
Server back up for me finally, but I still can't redeem the Ground Zeroes DLC code (EU).

Has there been any word on this?
I don't want to progress to far and potentially lock myself out of whatever the code redeems.

Yeah I'm waiting for this too.

I don't think it should be a problem to start later though. I was up to africa before I could upload/download the GZ save and I got everything after I did a mission, at least the staff, I got all the items before that.

thank you!
 
I received the Gold Hand early (Mission 5 or 6) with 60% GZ completion. I've collected every POW and unique character, finished all missions on Easy and Hard, collected all XOF patches and all Chico tapes. So I guess it's either the tapes or the patches.
 
Servers are still down in GZ I believe, but the update hit and you can still upload your save data. Unsure if the servers for TPP are up yet today.

Hmm. So maybe I didn't get the update for GZ, since I didn't see it last night when I tried to upload the data. Might have to uninstall/re-install then. Thanks!

Fulton the engineer who can customize the bionic arm
 
So I uploaded my save in Ground Zeros and when I go to download it in Phantom Pain it tells me the feature in unavailable because I am in offline mode, huh? I am online tho. PC btw.
 
Can you upload the Ground Zeroes save after you start the Phantom Pain? I just want to get into Phantom Pain as soon as I get home.
 
Wondering this as well.

Said it on the last page, started a save for TPP a few days ago, got to africa, uploaded/downloaded my save, got all the items immeadiately upon loading the game, for the staff, it seems you get them mission by mission, but as I was quite far ahead, it seemed to give me them all in one go after beating a mission.

Don't suppose anyone knows if the GZ EU codes work yet?
