Those of you who didn't already know, This isn't actually the version from the game! The one from the game has Lyrics in the chorus! Here they are for those who are interested. CAUTION ALERT MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE
Well... i hope Jaeger tells in his son's near 18's for his tragedys about the war, we don't want be shot down by an AI or make him realy thiknless in tragedys
Clarion Eclipse I thought Jaeger was a good wingman way better then count at least you. Plus jaeger has your back count was always bitching and moaning
Same here! Right before then, I was being spammed by missiles left and right. When the chorus hit, I just felt myself ignoring all the missile warnings and head straight for those propellers. It was magical! Love Ace Combat :)
"Go Trigger, leave these chumps to us" hearing this song in game, especially at the part when the Arsenal birds shield shuts off, literally made me tear up. hearing everyone cheer me on as this song plays in the background while i take out the Arsenal Bird just makes mission 19 the best.
The pressure to succeed as the only one with a chance.... as 50 missiles all lock onto you, letting you get off barely 3 rounds of MG at the propellers.
You can actually accelerate this mission and disjoint the music from it. By destroying the laser on FIRST pass of the arsenal bird. Very doable with 8AAM and maybe with HPAA increased damage part.
@@skeletonwguitar4383 We're perfectly fine with our crayons lol In all seriousness though, the Marines have their own Air Wing. All the air support the ground Marines get is from fellow Marines in the air. Think of it like the Army Air Corps in WW2. The Marine Corps has it's own Air Corps, just like the Navy has it's own Air Corps, and many argue that the Navy pilots are actually the best in the country. The Air Force's mission is to support the Army. The Navy has it's own Air Corps that supports its fleet. The Marines have their own Air Corps that support their ground troops. The Marines like to do things themselves and not rely on outside help too much. Outside help slows things down. If you want something done, and you want it done right, you do it yourself.
@@tktxlegend4540 Not going to totally dispute this but as a fellow Marine I have to say that a ton of Marine CAS comes from F16s flown by the Air Force and very little of it is Harriers or Marine Hornets or F35s. A fair bit is supplied by Cobras of course, but the USAF is still one of the Marine Corps' biggest providers of close air support. When I was in country, the most common combat aircraft to see flying overhead were Falcons and Cobras. Of course, everyone's mileage may have varied and the USAF also provided plenty of CAS from the A10 as well.
So I pretty much exclusively use the F14 in AC games, I'm an 80's kid and I just find it absolutely stunning. I've unlocked the F22 etc and struggle to chase good scores etc in the F14, but when it comes to the drama of Ace Combat's story, the underdog fights, the emotional weight of the triumphs...it just heightens the feeling of prevailing against the odds when you're in an old, crap, awesome plane. Fighting the sluggish controls as you struggle against all the drones, Mihaly, the Arsenal Birds, in a plane designed in the 60's, huge old engines screaming, control surfaces groaning, wings sweeping back as the afterburners kick in...and then this song just makes it.
I usually play through an AC game as I please once for a first time playthrough. Use whatever unlocks, play whatever, didnt use DLCs from AC7. F22 and SU47 my favourites usually Then I play through the game on the newly unlocked high difficulty or just on the highest using whatever plane is most 'canon' to the pilot: F15C for Ace Combat 0, F14s for Ace Combat 5, the F16 > F15 > F22 mix for AC7, so on. For the AC0 playthrough I even made it a full S rank with the 15, which honestly wasnt too hard, the only hard bit was Avalon because of the needing to turn back in the canyon repeatedly
Húxiān: "Hah! Just what kind of magic did you work there, you asshole?" Count: "It's not magic, it's a scam." Count: "Now's our chance, do it Trigger!"

Yeah, you’ll literally play it a good 6 times over just to get to the end and hear this song over and over and OVER again. And it’s worth it every time.

In a sense they are what an actual aircraft carrier represents to a small nation in the real world. You think you got control of the skies then this weapon system rolls in and pretty much swarms your aerial superiority while being rather difficult to truly hit without killing yourself. Granted the drones the arsenal bird are given seem to lack bombing and personnel insertion and extraction capabilities but it's still a fairly considerable piece of military power projection to reckoned with
@@TheGamingKiller242 Don't get this twisted, but I get the feeling you went in having super high and unrealistic expectations of the game, expecting it to surpass or match the holy trinity. Nothing wrong with that, but it can make you disappointed when you finish it. I would have done some things differently as we talked about before but as for me, I was more obsessed with the world building and lore coming from lore dense franchises like star wars and halo. I'm just a lore nut in all honesty. It was a fun ride, I enjoyed it a ton especially after waiting for the damn game since I was in fucking high school.
@@JokingSteak I would day you're wrong, but I wouldn't say you're right, I didn't expect the game to surpass the holy trinity, but what I did expect to happen is get close to 4 (sorry 4, I do like that game but I always use it as the odd one out of the holy trinity) I expected a quality soundtrack, though given 6's, and assault horizons soundtrack, that was probably a bad idea, I expected more more than half the songs to be unique music, not remixes of the main theme. Don't get me wrong, the main theme is amazing. But by the time it plays as hush, in the final mission, you've heard it 9 times. (No lie, I did the counting). Again, after 6, and most of assault horizon, I should have expected a bad story, but I didn't. This story was so cringey, and so bad, that I will probably never watch any of the cutscenes again. I expected a large amount of fan service, which again, we didn't get. Which we should have. And finally. I expected Mihaly, to be more than a plot armored, scripted fighting, pushover who runs away in less than a couple of minutes, or gets shot down in the same time frame, if not less. He is pathetic, lazily written. And extremely forgettable.
I think the game got delayed because the producesr were like, "We need one last song that just draws out the emotions of everyone." The result? Daredevil.
I remember this one distinctly. I had just bought the F-22, fully stocked with AAM's. Had no clue what was awaiting me until this started blaring through the speakers and the only thing I could see were drones. So. Many. Drones.
When you close your eyes in bliss and all you can see is a sea of green boxes, some of them with TGT in red above them... I might be getting a bit of Tetris Effect...
This song is so amazing, for me personally this is the best soundtrack in the entire already amazing Ace Combat OST. This song has a secret meaning and it's marvelously composed. The first part represent a coming danger the bpm is constant and keeps getting higher, there's no way to stop it, the metals announce something omnipotent something big is coming out. The bpm keeps it pace, we can't do anything to stop it. And until the Stonehenge part in the history that's true you can only run for your life... The rest of the instruments begin creating an eerie atmosphere. This could be the representation of the drones. Always by the side of the Arsenal Bird. But then something changes a lonely vocal appears the BPM in the back became a little quieter this vocal represents hope, this vocal represent the player. After that the atmosphere starts again, there's no way to stop it, getting louder and louder. Another Chorus appears this one represent the voice of destruction. Finally all the parts clash!! A battle begins. All the instruments compete to gain the protagonism. But the louder element is the vocal. Hope is getting louder. Finally silence. Echoes only.... The giant behemoth dissapears in the ocean. Never to return. He has been defeated.
That's right buddy, every game has "That Song" Megalith, The Unsung War, Zero, Liberation of Gracemeria, Blue Skies infinity Remix and now? Daredevil buddy. Every time you listen to this song remember, Stick with Trigger and you'll make it.
On everything. This franchise is my childhood. And it exceeded all my expectations. I'm so happy it came out. Every mission was a joy. And this mission and music straight up put chill down my spine. If the producers of the game are reading this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made my life so much better just experiencing this game. I love you all. This game was AMAZING
Imagine Ace combat 4 Mission 18-Megalith 0:00 in the hangar selecting an aircraft..chooses f22 raptor 0:40 mission breifing starts 1:00 awacs starts giving heroic speech while youre in flight 1:37 mobius 2 in stand by...mobius 3-7 on stand by...mobius 8 on standy. 3:14 *AWACS* mobius sqd engage!!
I’ll be honest with you, this song really doesn’t fit with any other game. Megalith is meant to give you chills, meant to make you feel fear and intimidation. Daredevil is just “oh look, shield’s down, whoopie”. Megalith fit perfectly with 4 because of how vast and powerful the facility was, and how destructive it would be if it launched its missiles. And for the love of god don’t put Daredevil where it definitely doesn’t belong
Honestly. This song while riding my motorcycle feels so good. It's not the same as a jet feeling but goodness this track is amazing. Good god this song is amazing.
@@brendanrisney2449 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Count was the only guy (I guess besides Trigger) to have a radio in his cockpit. So while he's being "Cuckoo Count" and shouting at the shield to go away, Cosette is smashing the markers. Also why he called it "a scam" when Huxian asked what magic he just worked. Truly a nice little detail that I really appreciated once I noticed it on my later playthroughs, but it really is something that can be easily overlooked.
No other game, not even Star Fox mowing down fleets single handedly. Ever made me feel like an ace behind the control stick of a fighter like Ace Combat games. In the end, were all that pilot with the three stripes!
I was playing the multiplayer in Ace Combat 7 the other day and joined a battle royale match. Then Agnus Dei started playing as the actual background music of the match and I nearly cried. It was so beautiful and brought back great memories of Ace Combat 4.
To be fair, as far as I've ever been able to tell.. Agnus Dei is the leitmotif of the entire franchise. It would be a shame to hide that song in a 15+ year old game.
@@arnoldsherrill6305 Budgeting. Most air shows have either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds but I've only seen the Blue Angels on the East Coast. Normally it's 2 cheap birds and a really expensive one with the teams.
i remember listening to the ace combat soundtrack while playing Arena Commander in Star Citizen, this music came on in the final wave where i fought a hammerhead in a light fighter without backup. as the chorus was about to end i had ran out of all my shields, ammo and missiles so i set cruise control, ejected and rammed it at 600m/s, killing it just as the chorus ended. that feeling of floating in deep space surrounded by nothing but debris was truly something. needless to say, i really wanna get Ace Combat now
Mihaly might be gone, but he taught Trigger, what he didnt taught no young pilot before. His Ways to fight like an Ace, and to value his allies as well as his enemies alike
The chills when you hear this song for the first time is unreal. It was completely unexpected and it made me feel invincible. Jaeger: this is something I’ll tell my son about
This is by far my second favorite track in the game just hearing the track build up from 0:00 to 3:06 then the voices ramping up the intensity of the track from 3:06 to 3:12 then hearing the buildup finally pay off at 3:14 with the voices harmonizing then leading up all the way to 3:55, combined with the gameplay and flying and not just that mission in particular but just when your flying combine that experience with this sound track and you get some other worldly experience that I’m sure this is the only game where I felt as if I had a sense of freedom, the sky was all I had and all I needed, to feel that sense of freedom, just dodging missiles, hearing: missile, missile, missile, and striking down other jets, ground targets and the bosses whether it’s Mihaly or the arsenal bird or the two adf 11s or just free flight, this game makes me feel a sense of joy and freedom so strong that when I finished the campaign for the first time as I saw the credits I felt that sense of freedom slip away sadly locked behind a game. Just when think the track can get more intense from 3:57 to 4:30 it gets more intestine and the feeling of freedom and just being able to fly gets stronger and stronger. Me emotions for this game are peaking, I might even feel tears start forming. Somehow the soundtrack manages to get even more intense and intense and my emotions stronger and stronger and the music more intense going from 4:30 to 4:40 and I reach the peak and my emotions, might even start crying with tears full of emotion flowing down my face and my feelings are all over the place and rn at that moment all I know is that I want to keep flying, keep going up, towards the dark blue sky. when the music starts slowing down and stops, just like the feeling freedom leaving my body after the experience is over and I’m returned to my boring 15 year old life, and my moment to escape into another reality where I feel free is closed.
Everyone: "Destroying the Arsenal Bird" "Righteous Fury" etc. Me: *tries and fails multiple times to shoot the join sections from behind, causing me to run out of time*
This has got to be one of the best ultimate battle themes in the Ace Combat lore! I too began to cry when the music crescendos as the Arsenal Bird's APS shield was broken. To the Osean Federation, the peacekeepers of the Strangereal world! Blaze would be proud of you, Trigger! Your sins have been absolved.
But it's always like someone to classify the protagonist as a traitor when they fly for osea; happened in 5 and now 7 Edit: well not so much a traitor, but a criminal of some kind
Glad to see how this song impacted absolutely everyone in the same way I was when I first fired my 8AAMs to the arsenal bird's propellers, and how many veterans are commenting their experiences. Hope this saga continues on because I don't want to just tell my son about it.
@@TheDarkWarrior137 i wish strangereal player character has a voice actor like bishop in Assault Horizon ,but with good characterization and superb VA.
@@HoxFox22 Or have it like ace combat 5 where you use the Yes/No option and it gives your character a line to say. and any orders you give your squad will be said aloud by your character, but dont make him sound or look like a legendary badass. the characters are supposed to be humble. y'know what i mean?
@@TheDarkWarrior137 that's exactly what i meant... The thing about that is the possibilities or a diffrent playthrough or outcome which wasnt implemented in ace combat 5.Also more party banter that may show the bond of the squadmates in battles just like Guts,Janice and Bishop. Shame that assault horizon PC acted like a robot than a human..
I remember listening to this while i was writing my thesis back in 2019. Whenever i felt exhausted, whenever i was stressed out, whenever i thought i couldnt make it in time for the deadline... This song always cheered me up. I bought my first AC game when it came out in '95, when i was 4 years old, and i never stopped playing this marvelous franchise. Thanks for existing Ace Combat
Project Aces is right up there with Bungie for masterful soundtracks. Or their respective composers are. They manage to turn an ordinary battle into something majestic with nothing more than a little bit of scripting that drops a bomb-ass chorus.
because the song goes to anxiety, fear, hope, courage, trepidation, excitement, resolution, fury and finally exhaustion. those tears symbolize dread, anger and relief. its the same for everyone else.
Man imagine the last Ace Combat game has like a final battle scene similar to the Independence Day movie then all aces from all countries form up for one final assault while this OST is playing
Am I the only one that found the advanced drones creepy af? Dead silent, no emotions, effortlessly cruel, constantly watching and learning while pulling impossible maneuvers.
The first time I encountered that prototype drone and saw it shoot a missile out of the sky, I felt the pressure hard. I was like "Well, it's gonna charge me in the run, so I'll just ram a missile down its-It shot it down. In mid-air. What in the hell is that thing?" Those drones are legitimately frightening.
I found them at most frustrating, but didn't find them frightening...I actually was rather annoyed, thinking they dare to replace the human ace?.... Was rather satisfied when I rammed four sidewinders up both their tailpipes.
Scrap Queen: Hey Dumbass! You better hit the LIKE button or we won't bring the shield down Cossette: I'm trying! 3:10 (Noise of breaking glass in the background). I did it I press the LIKE button! Scrap Queen: look the shield is down! Look out the Drones are falling!!!
Phantom 1: "Crap my ADMM salvo was ineffective Phantom 1 to all elements the big bird is here Strider 1 you are the only one that can take down that monster bird, me and Phantom Squadron will deal with the drones go get'em, Phantom Squadron engage" Phantom 2:"Wilco engaging"
The missions in the ace combat series are so intense that I can't even understand what people are saying over the radio or even know how good the soundtrack is until I listen to it alone.

Granted the drones the arsenal bird are given seem to lack bombing and personnel insertion and extraction capabilities but it's still a fairly considerable piece of military power projection to reckoned with
Smokecall with an unbeatable APS and enough firepower to down a naval fleet.
You mean
Belka
This isn't complete without the missile alerts.
Or the sound of that laser (on the arsenal bird) and the engines of jets and drones
I still dream of that sound at night.
We don't talk about those. If I had a dollar everytime I got 'beep beep beep' "Missile incoming" I could buy my own squadron of arsenal birds.
@@arcticgalegamer8139 I left those out for a reason 😂
Who finds that the railgun in Stonehenge can pierce the shield of the arsenal bird but the Railgun on an F/A18 or XO2S cant
Ace Combat's music will never disappoint us, never.
First of all Justice, no it didn't second of all. This soundtrack disappointed me.
@@TheGamingKiller242 there's a such thing as opinions you know
@@calamitousenigma9052 Yes, there are, and guess what? "Ace Combat music will never disappoint us" is an opinion, and I disagree.
@@TheGamingKiller242 Don't get this twisted, but I get the feeling you went in having super high and unrealistic expectations of the game, expecting it to surpass or match the holy trinity. Nothing wrong with that, but it can make you disappointed when you finish it. I would have done some things differently as we talked about before but as for me, I was more obsessed with the world building and lore coming from lore dense franchises like star wars and halo. I'm just a lore nut in all honesty. It was a fun ride, I enjoyed it a ton especially after waiting for the damn game since I was in fucking high school.
@@JokingSteak I would day you're wrong, but I wouldn't say you're right, I didn't expect the game to surpass the holy trinity, but what I did expect to happen is get close to 4 (sorry 4, I do like that game but I always use it as the odd one out of the holy trinity) I expected a quality soundtrack, though given 6's, and assault horizons soundtrack, that was probably a bad idea, I expected more more than half the songs to be unique music, not remixes of the main theme. Don't get me wrong, the main theme is amazing. But by the time it plays as hush, in the final mission, you've heard it 9 times. (No lie, I did the counting).
Again, after 6, and most of assault horizon, I should have expected a bad story, but I didn't. This story was so cringey, and so bad, that I will probably never watch any of the cutscenes again. I expected a large amount of fan service, which again, we didn't get. Which we should have. And finally. I expected Mihaly, to be more than a plot armored, scripted fighting, pushover who runs away in less than a couple of minutes, or gets shot down in the same time frame, if not less. He is pathetic, lazily written. And extremely forgettable.
I think the game got delayed because the producesr were like, "We need one last song that just draws out the emotions of everyone."
The result?
Daredevil.
I remember this one distinctly. I had just bought the F-22, fully stocked with AAM's. Had no clue what was awaiting me until this started blaring through the speakers and the only thing I could see were drones. So. Many. Drones.
Dude, same here. Felt SO epic that I finally had enough to get the F-22 for such a daunting task, as if the game was telling me “it’s time” haha
Me lauging in the corner using the far superior F/A 18
@@Spino.007 Su 30sm with sol 1 skin hehe
My first encounter was in the Mig 21 with gunpods. Friend dared me to use it on my next mission, so I did and won somehow.
After getting it I used the F16 throughout he remainder of the game
When you close your eyes in bliss and all you can see is a sea of green boxes, some of them with TGT in red above them... I might be getting a bit of Tetris Effect...
Time for me to do another play through of the game!
This song is so amazing, for me personally this is the best soundtrack in the entire already amazing Ace Combat OST.
This song has a secret meaning and it's marvelously composed.
The first part represent a coming danger the bpm is constant and keeps getting higher, there's no way to stop it, the metals announce something omnipotent something big is coming out. The bpm keeps it pace, we can't do anything to stop it. And until the Stonehenge part in the history that's true you can only run for your life...
The rest of the instruments begin creating an eerie atmosphere.
This could be the representation of the drones. Always by the side of the Arsenal Bird.
But then something changes a lonely vocal appears the BPM in the back became a little quieter this vocal represents hope, this vocal represent the player.
After that the atmosphere starts again, there's no way to stop it, getting louder and louder.
Another Chorus appears this one represent the voice of destruction.
Finally all the parts clash!!
A battle begins.
All the instruments compete to gain the protagonism.
But the louder element is the vocal. Hope is getting louder.
Finally silence.
Echoes only....
The giant behemoth dissapears in the ocean.
Never to return. He has been defeated.
Kobayashi still got it. I have loved his work since Ace Combat 4, this doesn't disappoint. Great track

On everything. This franchise is my childhood. And it exceeded all my expectations. I'm so happy it came out. Every mission was
a joy. And this mission and music straight up put chill down my spine. If the producers of the game are reading this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made my life so much better just experiencing this game. I love you all. This game was AMAZING
Imagine Ace combat 4 Mission 18-Megalith

3:14 *AWACS* mobius sqd engage!!
I’ll be honest with you, this song really doesn’t fit with any other game. Megalith is meant to give you chills, meant to make you feel fear and intimidation. Daredevil is just “oh look, shield’s down, whoopie”. Megalith fit perfectly with 4 because of how vast and powerful the facility was, and how destructive it would be if it launched its missiles. And for the love of god don’t put Daredevil where it definitely doesn’t belong
3:13 : Moment when Ghost of Kyiv enters the fray
There must be a live orchestra concert somewhere with all the ace combat OST masterpieces..
This aged like fine wine lol
Honestly. This song while riding my motorcycle feels so good. It's not the same as a jet feeling but goodness this track is amazing.
Good god this song is amazing.
Get a VR flight sim, lots of altitude and speed and fly your soul out.

Can you hear me, pilot with The Three Strikes?
yet what is a soundtrack? without this soundtrack
3:14 Angel descended from heaven to end the war
8:07 Forcefield goes off thanks to "Count's Magic" (or Cosette's work xD) And Trigger rushes fast to destroy the Arsenal Bird.
Thing is, they were the same thing.
Count has a radio.
He was listening.
@@brendanrisney2449 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Count was the only guy (I guess besides Trigger) to have a radio in his cockpit. So while he's being "Cuckoo Count" and shouting at the shield to go away, Cosette is smashing the markers. Also why he called it "a scam" when Huxian asked what magic he just worked. Truly a nice little detail that I really appreciated once I noticed it on my later playthroughs, but it really is something that can be easily overlooked.
It's not magic, it's a scam.
No other game, not even Star Fox mowing down fleets single handedly. Ever made me feel like an ace behind the control stick of a fighter like Ace Combat games. In the end, were all that pilot with the three stripes!
3:13:When that happened I was like "It's shield is down! Commence attack on the Arsenal Bird!"
Holy shit this ost
"Arsenal Bird Sighted"
1:37 got this chill feeling there.....
I was playing the multiplayer in Ace Combat 7 the other day and joined a battle royale match. Then Agnus Dei started playing as the actual background music of the match and I nearly cried. It was so beautiful and brought back great memories of Ace Combat 4.
To be fair, as far as I've ever been able to tell.. Agnus Dei is the leitmotif of the entire franchise. It would be a shame to hide that song in a 15+ year old game.
That first lone vocalist humming the theme. Pure chills
The best epic song of Ace combat 7

@@arnoldsherrill6305 Budgeting. Most air shows have either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds but I've only seen the Blue Angels on the East Coast. Normally it's 2 cheap birds and a really expensive one with the teams.
Someone needs to get some su 30sm's and do some cobras to this
i remember listening to the ace combat soundtrack while playing Arena Commander in Star Citizen, this music came on in the final wave where i fought a hammerhead in a light fighter without backup. as the chorus was about to end i had ran out of all my shields, ammo and missiles so i set cruise control, ejected and rammed it at 600m/s, killing it just as the chorus ended. that feeling of floating in deep space surrounded by nothing but debris was truly something.
needless to say, i really wanna get Ace Combat now
Mihaly might be gone, but he taught Trigger, what he didnt taught no young pilot before.
His Ways to fight like an Ace, and to value his allies as well as his enemies alike
The chills when you hear this song for the first time is unreal. It was completely unexpected and it made me feel invincible.
Jaeger: this is something I’ll tell my son about
This is by far my second favorite track in the game just hearing the track build up from 0:00 to 3:06 then the voices ramping up the intensity of the track from 3:06 to 3:12 then hearing the buildup finally pay off at 3:14 with the voices harmonizing then leading up all the way to 3:55, combined with the gameplay and flying and not just that mission in particular but just when your flying combine that experience with this sound track and you get some other worldly experience that I’m sure this is the only game where I felt as if I had a sense of freedom, the sky was all I had and all I needed, to feel that sense of freedom, just dodging missiles, hearing: missile, missile, missile, and striking down other jets, ground targets and the bosses whether it’s Mihaly or the arsenal bird or the two adf 11s or just free flight, this game makes me feel a sense of joy and freedom so strong that when I finished the campaign for the first time as I saw the credits I felt that sense of freedom slip away sadly locked behind a game. Just when think the track can get more intense from 3:57 to 4:30 it gets more intestine and the feeling of freedom and just being able to fly gets stronger and stronger. Me emotions for this game are peaking, I might even feel tears start forming. Somehow the soundtrack manages to get even more intense and intense and my emotions stronger and stronger and the music more intense going from 4:30 to 4:40 and I reach the peak and my emotions, might even start crying with tears full of emotion flowing down my face and my feelings are all over the place and rn at that moment all I know is that I want to keep flying, keep going up, towards the dark blue sky. when the music starts slowing down and stops, just like the feeling freedom leaving my body after the experience is over and I’m returned to my boring 15 year old life, and my moment to escape into another reality where I feel free is closed.
It's only January and the game of the year has already come out.
Everyone: "Destroying the Arsenal Bird" "Righteous Fury" etc.
Me: *tries and fails multiple times to shoot the join sections from behind, causing me to run out of time*
For the Laser and Joints, just attack head on
This has got to be one of the best ultimate battle themes in the Ace Combat lore! I too began to cry when the music crescendos as the Arsenal Bird's APS shield was broken. To the Osean Federation, the peacekeepers of the Strangereal world! Blaze would be proud of you, Trigger! Your sins have been absolved.
But it's always like someone to classify the protagonist as a traitor when they fly for osea; happened in 5 and now 7
Edit: well not so much a traitor, but a criminal of some kind
@@chiefturion7134 Well in AC5 that was more of a Belkan conspiracy trying to get them out of the way of their plans...wait a second.
@@jarredbaker3410 that gave me a laugh lmfao
I still have a personal headcanon that Blaze became a flight instructor after the events of AC5, and that Trigger happened to be one of his students.
Osea, peacekeepers? Hah.
Count: "Disappear! Disappear! Begone! DISAPPEAR!"
Arsenal Bird: *loses shields*
Trigger: "I'm gonna do whats called a pro gamer move"

Absolutely beautiful.
Glad to see how this song impacted absolutely everyone in the same way I was when I first fired my 8AAMs to the arsenal bird's propellers, and how many veterans are commenting their experiences. Hope this saga continues on because I don't want to just tell my son about it.

@@TheDarkWarrior137 i wish strangereal player character has a voice actor like bishop in Assault Horizon ,but with good characterization and superb VA.

@@TheDarkWarrior137 that's exactly what i meant... The thing about that is the possibilities or a diffrent playthrough or outcome which wasnt implemented in ace combat 5.Also more party banter that may show the bond of the squadmates in battles just like Guts,Janice and Bishop.

Oh man. I think I need this game. That is excellent.
Buy it but it
This game really did make you feel like the master chief of the sky’s, you inspired hope, you were a hero.
I remember listening to this while i was writing my thesis back in 2019. Whenever i felt exhausted, whenever i was stressed out, whenever i thought i couldnt make it in time for the deadline... This song always cheered me up. I bought my first AC game when it came out in '95, when i was 4 years old, and i never stopped playing this marvelous franchise. Thanks for existing Ace Combat
I was so happy when I got past all the ground forces and the shield shut off I was blasting the shit out the arsenal bird
Man the sun must have glared through the canopy or something. I've got moist eyeballs.
Imagine this song playing while battling Pixy, ZOE, Akula, Pasternak, and the ADF-11 drones at once.
All of them vs Cipher, Mobius 1, Trigger, Blaze, Scarface 1, and Nemo.
@Josh McCalip @TheEnergizingbunny That would be the most epic air combat in existance
dont forget grabacr and ofnir
All the Ace Combat antagonists vs Protagonists
@@TheEnergizingbunny Then they do the formation like Spare did
Project Aces is right up there with Bungie for masterful soundtracks. Or their respective composers are. They manage to turn an ordinary battle into something majestic with nothing more than a little bit of scripting that drops a bomb-ass chorus.
This game has been one of the most epic ones ive played since the release of gears 2 in 2006
I don’t even play this game, why tf am I crying?
because the song goes to anxiety, fear, hope, courage, trepidation, excitement, resolution, fury and finally exhaustion.
those tears symbolize dread, anger and relief.
its the same for everyone else.

this is THE SONG!
Man imagine the last Ace Combat game has like a final battle scene similar to the Independence Day movie then all aces from all countries form up for one final assault while this OST is playing
Am I the only one that found the advanced drones creepy af? Dead silent, no emotions, effortlessly cruel, constantly watching and learning while pulling impossible maneuvers.
The first time I encountered that prototype drone and saw it shoot a missile out of the sky, I felt the pressure hard. I was like "Well, it's gonna charge me in the run, so I'll just ram a missile down its-It shot it down. In mid-air. What in the hell is that thing?" Those drones are legitimately frightening.
I found them at most frustrating, but didn't find them frightening...I actually was rather annoyed, thinking they dare to replace the human ace?.... Was rather satisfied when I rammed four sidewinders up both their tailpipes.
*"Is he actually that good of a composer?"*
Get the refrence?
I'd bet on it
Besides, if he thought it was impossible he wouldn't have said anything
This game was a work of art in every sense of the word. It sucked me in for every twist and turn, every pulse-pounding second from start to finish.
Scrap Queen: Hey Dumbass! You better hit the LIKE button or we won't bring the shield down
