    The guitar bit at 10:37 that immediately transitions into the game’s main leitmotif is A+ musical direction in my book. Spare Squadron was becoming more and more like a real team all leading up to that great moment of everyone forming up on Trigger. The guitar lick feels indicative of the 444th scenes and levels early on, and the transition to the main theme which had showed up in nearly level before Trigger’s court martial, now returning as they’re acting like a legit unit and about to be recognized as such in the storyline is just perfect and one reason why I love Ace Combat. It has so much heart.

      the music was epic so was the camera shoot...problem is if you think about it its also one of the dumbest moments in the whole game. The guys commanding this unit are a bunch of morons. like they dont know planes have ID's? i mean cant they just take the ID's of the planes they sent to the mission and mark all others as enemy?

      This is an excellent take on the mission's role as a significant story beat for the entire plot, but sadly everything about the penal unit was thrown under the bus and the writers practically grabbed us players by the arm and dragged us away onto a new set of characters - Strider 1. Not to say our new squadron was boring as hell, but the game had something going for the bond and time we shared with the penal unit and its growing potential to create an unique theme for AC7's plot and this was completely ignored and we never got to hear from them again.

Helios can actually take out TGT enemies for you in this mission, and Tabloid expands on that at 12:33 "don't they care about the pilots?" Well no, they can do that without casualties, *because they're drones*. So even if you don't know the red line connection yet, they still offer you a way to put 2 and 2 together.

    I love this game dearly, and I've played it enough that even Ace difficulty isn't too much of a problem, but THIS MISSION. My main problem is actually how unhelpful the map is. I use the medium topographic map, but I still can't tell the difference between a high mountain peak, and a low valley, because they both look the EXACT SAME on the map. The vast majority of my deaths actually came from getting lost and accidentally flying high for too long when I thought there'd be somewhere to dive to😅.

  • @mr.h1083
    @mr.h1083 3 місяці тому

    Honestly, Faceless Soldier sets up Trigger’s role so well.
    We never see Trigger actually fly in a formation until now. Up until this point, he’s always been the support element, be it as Mage 2 or escorting Strider Squadron and Cyclopes Squadron. But now, we see him in formation as the lead element. And this sets Trigger up for his role so beautifully because amidst all the confusion and all chaos, Trigger is the one Tabloid called for everyone rally behind. Trigger is the one they follow and form up with.
    And thus, “Stick with Trigger, and you’ll make it” came to being (minus Full Band, but we all know what happened there…)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't some of the custom parts chosen for this run useless? The SOD is considered a bomb, not a missile. That's why none of the SPW stat bars increase when applying some of those upgrades. So many more parts could have been used to make this easier, which actually makes this more impressive.
