The Phantom Pain may be too large for gamers to finish according toKojima

Speaking to ign.com, Metal Gear Solid visionary Hideo Kojima expressed concern about the length of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

"The Phantom Pain has the risk that people won’t be able to finish the story as it will be 'more than 200x bigger than Ground Zeroes'," Kojima said in an IGN interview.

MGSV is split into two. Ground Zeroes which releases March 18, acts as a short prequel to The Phantom Pain. And recently received flak for being a short play.

Kojima wouldn't tell exactly how long The Phantom Pain, but that it will but that "we’ll have a lot of missions in there."
