My intro/outro theme is from a very talented artist named Otso, I highly consider checking the song out! It's called "Cute ninjas (don't) cry"

#AceCombat7 #Daredevil #Reaction
_Daredevil_ is already an incredible piece of music by itself, but even more so when you consider the circumstances of its creation.
The game was already complete when it was done, and _Daredevil_ was the very last song composed and submitted after the deadline.
The mission story and radio chatter was reworked just so this song would fit exactly right.
Really, it can be summed up in this exchange over the phone between Kazutoki Kono, the game’s producer, and Keiki Kobayashi, the composer, not long before release.
“I want one music track, and it has to be a really great one. I want you to compose it now.”
“I understand.”
Don't forget they had to go back and redo "Daredevil" again because after listening it together with Kono, Kobayashi felt it needed more impact.
And again, this was *near* the release date.
@@RaveSault Add onto that, all the work on daredevil was done in 4 days. 4 days, rushed after deadline to make it into the gold master, audio tweaked at the last minute after days of work, and it's likely one of the best tracks Kobayashi has written.
Project aces has done it with passion
Kono: I want a musical piece that slaps extremely hard and I want it done in less than a week.
Kobayashi: Hold my beer
The only thing missing is the main vocals.
MISSLE

"Haha, I'm in danger."

Jesse: I feel like the T-1000 coming after me.
Me: Haha, yes... wouldn't that be a strange feeling to have in a game about jets?... haha...
*looks around nervously*
Huginn & Munin have entered the chat........
Gründer Industries: Let us introduce ourselves
"Hush" you....
Arsenal bird say hiii
The fact that Daredevil uses both human instruments (plus vocals) and electronic is also a smart move, if not probably intentional. It was played at the very pivotal moment where you decide the fate of humanity in a battle between humans and machines. You'd notice that gradually as the music progresses, human instrumental slowly began to triumph over the electronic base. I'm amazed at how you came to feel that a 'T-1000 is coming for you' at the beginning, because if only you knew the plot of Ace Combat 7. A proof of how music indeed can play a role in storytelling.
For great Ace Combat music, one theme that really stuck to me for the last 15 years is the titular "Zero" from Ace Combat Zero. I'd love for you to give it a listen. The flamenco is fantastic.
Zero is coming very soon!!
Hell yeah. Thanks dude. As also an FFXIV player, I'll be looking forward to more of your content!
@@JessesAuditorium Oh I hope The Unsung War gets looked at too, specifically because Zero builds on the choir sections of Unsung War
@@JessesAuditorium do ace combat 4 megalith and Ace combat 7 mimic!
“Feel like the T-1000 is coming after me”
Never fails to impress me how music can tell so much story without a word. That’s one helluva guess at the story in the part of this game where this track plays
This song caused this game to be delayed, yes, this song alone.
Worthy delay
Wait, wait... Really? Tell me more
@@Shattered_Skies Composer Keiki Kobayashi wanted the track to better suit the events of mission 19 when it plays. The song plays in a moment of dread as-
Well, play the game and find out why it is so hype
@@Shattered_Skies The game was complete and ready to ship but they producer wanted a "Really great track" for the games final mission in which this plays. So he contacted the composer and this track was made is record time. The Producer liked the track so much they reworked parts of the mission to better fit the track.
Cool to know! It was an epic moment indeed
"Liberation of Gracemeria" from Ace Combat 6 is another one of my favorites
That one is fire.
@@hypertion probably one of the best songs from the entire series, yes, even rivaling Daredevil.
Ace Combat series is famous for its twisted story and on point soundtrack. Surprisingly enough, Project Wingman, a crowdfunded spiritual successor to the AC series made by handful of fans, managed to nail the formula perfectly and stands up to its source of inspiration in every way, being embraced by AC fans as equal. So, since then when AC soundrack is discussed, PW always follows.
I, personally, dont believe Project Wingman is on equal terms with Ace Combat. But damnit, it was a great start to the franchise. I cant wait for PW2
Hilarious of you to assume that PW comes even close to the greatness of AC. Its story was so forgettable other than Crimson 1 being a complete and utter waste of space.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028 Okay, let's be honest, AC are not the perfect games by any means, especially in terms of story - despite the interesting setting and engaging global plot, the writing and narrative are utter trash, full of inconsistencies and worst anime cliches.
Almost every game shares the same structure, has a mute rookie pilot growing into the legend, has its own "slogan", which is shamelessly pushed into your ears over and over, has the pretentious philosophy which in the end comes down to some basic naive message like "war is bad". Most characters are shallow and generic, staying in memory just because how unbelievably dumb they are (hello, Nagase).
I love AC, but I have to make an effort to overcome the cringe every time I watch the cutscenes and listen to the radio chatter, because real people don't talk like that and don't act this way (and I bet even Japanese).
It works as a game only because of the solid overall style of each installment, decent world building, great gameplay loop and on point soundtrack. And PW did basically the same, as far as meager budget and a miniscule production team allowed (one developer, one screenwriter, one composer, three dozens of voice actors), and even though it lacks the polish and the variety that AC has, it not only stands up to its core gameplay, but also introduces some improvements to the formula.
And I'm not only talking of multiple special weapons loadouts, conquest mode or even VR, which are undoubtedly great features, but rather the gunplay, which is more satisfying and rewarding than in any AC game. There are also two things people are often forget when talking of PW - those are mercenary mode (disguised as an unlockable difficulty) and modifiers, which will finally give a real challenge to an old school AC fans.
Even though PW is missing the cutscenes, I can admire that at least the degree of wackiness in the writing is greatly reduced, except where it's intentionally left in some basic ways just to retain the feel of the AC over the top atmosphere. Dialogues are no longer feel they are ripped from the cheap anime and translated with google, (except some select moments that are clearly made as a homage to AC), making voice acting much more convincing and natural.
The fun part is that dialogue between Crimson 1 and Diplomat is there to illustrate how the player feels when the generic pretentious speech (anime villan in this case) kicks in, mocking the AC as the source of inspiration. And this how PW is different - it is self-aware, unlike the AC which tries to make a straight face while acting goofy.
And, taking into account that AC7 is one of the weakest installments in terms of writing and storytelling, the next game should really do better than that if they don't want to stall the series once again (for the fourth time that is), but I'm really afraid they won't - they've proved themselves lacking the sense of proposition and always going for the extreme. Remember AC:AH? It was the pinnacle of their erratic running around. They've tried to make a more grounded story, but instead made a carbon copy of CoD:MW, which in its turn was a galore of distillated Hollywood cliches. They've tried to update the game mechanics according to new trends, but turned it into a brain-dead arcade with QTE. They've tried to address the monotonous gameplay loop, but instead broke the pacing by adding out of place turret, gunship and helicopter sections. And what saved the game? Its core gameplay, which luckily remained the same, and the soundtrack which was still a hit. And there were ACI, AC6 and AC3 controversies and criticism showing that Project Aces decision making is even worse than their screenwriting.
I am an AC fan, but I wasn't born yesterday and I can critically analyse what I see. The "greatness" of AC is only comprehensible for a very rare type of players which combine awareness and acceptance of Japanese culture peculiarities, tolerance for poor screen writing and pretentious pseudo-philosophy, love for military jets and inability to play real simulators. For some people that's just too much to ask and they will pass on the game even if they know it is good. And that's not the sign of a "great" game. PW, on the other hand, maybe doesn't have such a over the top twisted story, but that might be one of the pros which, combined with lack of AC wackiness and signature Japanese theatrics, will make the game more appealing for the potential players, introducing them to the genre.
So I'd suggest to tone down the arrogance and appreciate both titles as they are. I hope Namco recognizes PW merits and will learn from them during the AC8 development.
@@evilbabai7083 You're probably really young if you think AC sucks lmfao.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028 your cognitive abilities are probably not enough to digest the text longer than a tweet if this is what you carried out from my comment.
The fact that you felt EXACTLY what you would while playing the game from the song ALONE just shows how on point it is.
If only you knew just HOW on point it is, you would be even more amazed than you were.
Daredevil's a jaw-dropping composition for sure, and it's made even better by its leitmotif having been seeded throughout the game's other tracks, most notably the opening dogfight's soaring track, "Charge Assault". It's also used as the game preview track, so you hear this melody every time you open the game -- and then it's used in Daredevil as a vocal melody. Brilliant meta way to prepare us for that climax.
i feel like at this point people are suggesting the most incredible music gaming has to give and are being like "YES CRY! CRY RIGHT NOW!"
"Zero" from ace combat zero is a must listen too, masterpiece tier among videogames.
Also "kings" from project wingman, while we're on planes.
For sure gonna do Zero very soon!
"You know that girl or guy you've been wanting to dm? Listen to this and you'll get the inspiration you need."
Me after playing Mission 20:
*aggressively writes 10 page essay on why I like her*
That comment about running towards the summit and the goal being RIGHT there is pretty much exactly how the plot of this mission plays out, without giving spoilers. My personal recommendation that I haven’t seen anyone mention is either Alicorn from AC7 or Mayhem, also from 0. Awesome vid, psyched for more :)
I highly suggest Magic Spear I, from the same game. It's used on a filler mission and has no right being as good as it is!
Project ACES: Ok, we need a new song for this filler mission. So just do whatever, no one really cares.
Keiki Kobayashi: Nah, Imma make it SLAP!
Well, another two mandatory recommendations for this series are - Archange from Ace Combat 7 and Zero from Ace Combat Zero (it's titled just Zero on youtube, but you'll probably get other covers or 'extended' versions before the original).
Have a lot of requests for "Zero" might check it out pretty soon!
I'll always have a soft spot for liberation of gracemaria cause it was the first ace combat song I heard
You forgot Megalith Agnus Dei
I can't believe nobody mentioned The Hero of Comberth Harbor yet. Such an intense banger
Two tracks from AC7 basically bring me to tears every single time I listen to them: Daredevil and Enchanter I.
Yes I love Ace Combat and I love any and all reactions to it. Their songs are amazing, Unsung War, Zero, Liberation of Gracemeria are just some of the masterpieces. Some other good songs from AC7 are Sol Squadron and Drag Racer.
Fun Fact: the creator of Ace Combat 7 actually delayed the game an entire year mainly cause he wanted this song, Daredevil, to be perfect.
That's so awesome.
Zero is coming very soon btw :)
The game wasn't delayed for an entire year just for Daredevil, there were a lot of reasons it was delayed. But Daredevil was, indeed, I think the second-to-last or last composition made for the game, right before its release.
Each one of Ace Combat games has their unique style of music. The latest entries take a more artistic and epic approach while the earlier classic ones have a more arcade-like short looping songs,(except Ace combat 3 ,which was more atmospheric than anything).
I really wish a reaction video to the amazing synth rock that Ace Combat 2 Ost has but unfortuantely they're fairly short looping songs,and it could be boring for some people.
Im thankful for this great reaction video, you rock
AC1 and 2 were (at least developed as) arcade games, so they lean heavily on synth and electric guitar rock music to get people to come dump quarters into them. AC3 was set in a high-tech future where sentient AI and direct nerve-to-aircraft connection systems are current technology and as such hits hard on the pure electronic/techno. AC4 started the trend of combining inorganic synth with orchestra and choral components, and that was the golden ticket that's been getting iterated on ever since.
even years later this song gives me chills
"Sol Squadron" is incredible as well, one of the most intimidating vilain theme I've heard
It makes me really happy to watch people experience for the first time something that I absolutely love
"I feel like T-1000 is coming after me."
Yep! It's TRIGGER 1000!!!
Oh and thanks for the music of AC:I... AC:I has been one of my favorite AC titles. Too bad it was shortlived but it was amazing on it's own.
This song when put in the proper context just elevates it so much.
You're flying within a coalition comprised of aircraft belonging to both your country and rebellious elements of the country you'd been fighting against whose government was hijacked by a bunch of radicals. The radicals had access to a superweapon that was basically a drone carrier, and the drone carrier was linked to a complicated array of systems that basically gave it invulnerability via a shield that was generated around the aircraft whenever it detected missiles.
The portion of this music that leads up to the drop at 4:35 is when you're struggling against this thing and the drones its sending out; meanwhile, a small faction of refugees is within the control facility that is inside the International Space Elevator. You're trying to take it out but its shields prevent it from taking any meaningful damage.
From 4:27 to 4:34, one of the refugees manages to take out the system providing power to the weapon's shields. There's a brief pause, then the shield goes down right as the climax of the song rings through. It's one of the best moments in gaming especially when you've got eyes on the aircraft as its shield goes down. It's timed so perfectly and it was the main reason why the game was delayed.
If i ever become an astronaut this is my song for reentrying back earth
"I need to listen to more Ace Combat... Or is it just Ace Combat 7 that's like this?"
Ohoho... You have no idea... *khm khm ... Unsung War ... khm khm*
Good video by the way, loved it, subscribed.
Yo, its so awesome seeing people react to this track for the first time.
Finally, someone that reacts without pausing every 5 seconds. Great video, man! Just great!
Yeah the memoral music and completely fictional political drama that happens on the radio while your plane goes brrr has kinda been the signature of Ace Combat since like.... 4 ish? Should watch some of the game trailers, the imagery really amplifies the music, also they are really good at making a trailer that hypes you up for the game.
Wait, you worked in Infinity!? Holy crap, that was my favourite AC! So many memories!
@@JessesAuditorium Did not expect a music producer to have QA'd for Infinity, that's insanely awesome :D
What I love about the big crescendo is that it keeps outdoing itself.
Every time you think the song has hit its peak, it hits you with more.
Goes perfectly with the boss fight it accompanies.
I love this track ..easily top 3 of the the 10 best Ace Combat tracks. I've only been playing since AC 4, but heard some amazing music between 4,5,Zero, 6, Assault Horizon and 7. My 2 favorite I'd love for you to react to are "Release" (Ace Combat Assault Horizon) and "The Liberation of Gracemeria" (Ace Combat 6)
great channel, i love how you react to music
hey! love your reactions so far! if I may, I’m gonna throw something a little different for a rec: Soaring Through the Azure Sadness or Sight of Silence from Gurumin, whose music is surprisingly bangin’ for such an unknown game.
I only just discovered its OST recently and was blown away, so I’d love seeing your reaction to it!
Thanks! First time I see that so I'll try to add it ^_^
Yoooo glad someone listens to game music! Specially this one!!
AWESOME you were part of the ace combat infinity team . dude that had killer collection of music
Bro this music make me feel like i want to be freaking a pilot it always remind me of mihaly saying : there are pilots like you in every generation and i felled every last one of them
What the hell, how is the music for Ace Combat so good!! It's making me want to play the games
think of it as planes, anime, and the morality of war.
If you do actually want to play it, i recommend grabbing a PC emulator for a PS2 and play ace combat Zero, 4, 5 to understand the background of Ace Combat 7
Then it's working
I'm so glad that there are so many fans of Keiki Kobayashi. He is such a God when it comes to music
Ace combat is 1/3 Dogfighting 1/3 absurd mega weapons and 1/3 music. It's my favorite game series of all time. Every game has it's bangers. Even the psp ones
The Ace Combat franchise is one of the best in gaming when it comes to music, The games are full of amazing tracks like Daredevil.
Other examples include:
Fighter’s Honour (Ace Combat 3D/Assault Horizon Legacy)
Rex Tremendae & Megalith (Ace Combat 4)
Blockade (Also AC4)
Liberation Of Gracemeria (AC6)
Zero (ACZ)
Rebirth (Assault Horizon)
The Unsung War (AC5)
Honorable mention: Kings from Project Wingman.
Razgriz, First Flight and Journey Home not making this list is criminal.
@@justpazzingby13 How could I forget about those. Indeed it is criminal. Arrest me.
Imagine this kicking in just as you are coming face to face with perhaps the most horrifically powerful and deadly flying fortress decked out with AA guns, launchers, lasers, a shield that can block ALL attacks, and packing hundreds of deadly drones that very few pilots could ever hope to even have a chance of outmaneuvering.
Now imagining dozens upon dozens of drones swarming around you, your missile alert alarm blaring constantly, that deadly laser nearly skimming your aircraft over and over again, AA runs raining hailfire all over you.
Then the shield drops thanks to the reckless and brave actions of a young princess smashing everything she can see, and every last fighter still in the sky devotes their existence to keeping the drones off of you while you bring that monstrosity down.
Yeah, that's Daredevil while fighting the Arsenal Bird.
I want to recomend "Beyond the Bounds" from Zone of the Enders 2
Ace combat always has EPIC music for dogfights. There's a reason they're called knife fights in a phone booth lmao.
At least they used to be lol. Bvr engagements kinda killed real dogfights.
You've gotta listen to Agnus Dei Megalith from Ace Combat 4.
The most over the top peice of music ever made for a videogame about flying Jets
4:48 that's very smooth indeed
Kinda cool that you worked on Infinity actually, kinda of a shame that it’s no longer available to play
man you should try listening to "Hush" from ace combat 7. really gives the goose bumps.
You should check out a song called "Lost Squad" it's from the OST for a game called "Squad" It's one of my favorites from the soundtrack.
STRYDER SQUADRON ENGAGE!!!!! This song is a masterpiece
Such a well made song
I have to admit, as much as I love this song, I wish the crescendo could have been louder and higher--but it's still a powerful one and has been great "action fuel" for me. It just leaves me with such a sense of unfulfilled/unresolved tension, like they could have easily taken that part with the loud vocals up to 10 and they only did 7 or maybe 8. I'm sure that was deliberate and they probably didn't *want to* make it that loud but I really feel the absence of that added intensity. I also love how you're taking notes throughout. Can you please also react to any/all of the following (some of these have the crescendo that I feel this one lacks)
Assault Horizon--Mrs. Krista Yoslav
Assault Horizon--Dogfight
AC Zero--El Diablo/Zero
AC5--The Unsung War
AC4--Rex Tremendae/Dies Irae
Final Fantasy 7--One Winged Angel
Final Fantasy 6--Terra in Black OC Remix
and any song by Sabaton. I realize this isn't video game music but live or studio versions of "Into the Fire" would be amazing--extreme power. Or any of their songs.
'you know that guy or girl you wanna DM? listen to this and you'll get all the inspiration you need' bro you nailed it lmao
i think a hot topic would be Ace Combat Assault Horizon: Dogfight, It is quite different to the usual Ace combat themes using more of a rock genre but still awesome
I really need to finish this game.
The Unsung War. You'll thank me.
Probably that summit is the top of the Space Elevator in USEA??
Ah, did you work on the Comona arrangement perchance?
Epic Soundtrack.
oh hell yeah
For some reason, this guy gives me johnny Depp vibes. Great work bro!
Daredevil,
Liberation of Gracemeria,
Zero,
The Unsung War,
Megalith Agnus Dei,
What a game...
This song's climax made me climax
I highly recommend Sol squadron from ace combat 7 that or faceless soldiers You’ll love it
lmao "--- H e l l o? --- " That reaction is great
love the reactions. I would recommend you check out Sen no Kiseki III - Step Ahead and Sen no Kiseki II OST - Blue Destination
Found a fellow Trails man
IF you want some composition fun, go find The Space Battle of Endor Supercut where they have only the space battle clips, and queue this track up when the Death Star gets its first order to fire (@3:30 of the battle), then make sure the break out into the choir singing happens when the A-wing crashes into the Executor's bridge.
"INTENSIFY FORWARD FIRE-POWER!"
"AAAAAH!!!!"
"TOO LATE!"
*CRASH*
*_"HohooohoooHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"_*
I hope someone request dogfight from Assault Horizon, It's short, fast, simple, but makes blood pumpin good.
Archange also slaps btw
AAA, someone's gotta have him listen to Archange from the game!! By far a favorite, for me at least 👍
You should react to "Moon Over the Castle"
From Gran Turismo
Oh wow Gran Turismo!
Daredevil is not just a song is a Mission ''To Play'' to understand the power of this song...you have to play the mission !..the emotion is insane !....i also recommand to Listen Ace Combat 5 ost its the best of the series in my opinion...
I recommend some of the anime opening song
Have you done one of GoD of War 1 & 2 PS2 the music is subliminal epic is an understatement
Nobody here is recommending "Megalith Agnus Dei" from Ace Combat 4, and that's disappointing. So I'll do it.
Cipher the Demon Lord
Mobius the Grim Reaper
Blaze 1st Ghost of Razgriz
Trigger the Daredevil
You know a music packs a punch when the game is delayed just for it!!!
Should check out comona invincible fleet megalith from AC4
Do more Ace Combat 4-7 OST Reaction! They have over hundred good tracks
I have more coming!
Missile....missile....missile...
want more ace combat? AC4's Agnus dei/megalith
another amazing soundtrack is from devil may cry 5, bury the light
That's coming later this week! Very requested
@@JessesAuditorium amazing, can't wait, lovey our reactions and thoughts, about the previous question of song of the ancients why not do 2 in the same vid so you can hear the difference between the versions my pick would be atonment and fate
@@vexkin3286 I'll consider!
Ace Combat has great OSTs. Ace Combat 4, 5, and Zero.. pretty much anything by Keith Kobayashi 👍
Dud you react to sol squadron ace combat 7 yet?
if you like epic music in ff14 make video with final form of omega its just the beest boss music i never heared in my life with gael in dark souls 3
Could you react to Ace Combat Assault Horizon’s Naval Warfare
Please listen to Faceless Soldier Ace Combat 7. Thanks
"This is not what i was expecting for Ace Combat..."
oh, so you are not aware of the Deep Blue?
you are grounded then, i see.
Please listen to Ace combat 4: Megalith -Agnus Dei- if you liked Daredevil!
I nominate this to be the theme of the Ghost of Kyiv
I feel bad for you man, Infinity was such a great game, shame Bandai Ran it aground with Mobile Game Monetization. All that work is now for fucking nothing...
