This is mercenary Rank: Zero, callsign: phantom skull reporting, I have joined multiple conflicts for the past years in this very continent, from the Belka war to the lighthouse war, and I've heard all about you, Legacy. even you The Three Strikes, Carry out this mission as you see fit.

@@jimmylee2241 Humans flying fighters, cute.

@@EXMX28 I know that humans fly planes, I am saying that drones and ai will never replace pilots permanently

@@jimmylee2241 Bro, by the end of the century there will be practically no human pilots left, it's pretty obvious.

can a drone really understand a hunk of metal from the 1950's that was modified with a 25mm BRRRT and a few missiles that is going at mach 0.8 and is flatspining? no I didn't just make that on the spot that's one of my spammy plaens I designed

and Archange!

Daredevil will be the holiest of all holy songs

The problem with remixing Daredevil is that it's so hard to improve on perfection. But if anyone could do it, it's Lucas Ricciotti!

Yo buddy! Your wish seems to have been granted!

​@@UmActshuwallydaredevil feels like a charge assault without the action feel

thank youuuu.. someone gets it

@@ragingpixel0815 that was the first vibe when I was playing that mission the first time xD. Like Briefing IV, there is no hope, there are not enough men to fight, to face an new unknown enemy, and suddenly a new hope appears, a man named Trigger.

Not to rain on your parade of praising Ace Combat here but there are more video game OSTs from older, more significant franchises that make use of leitmotifs to this extent: >Monster Hunter >Final Fantasy (especially XIV in particular) >Persona >Dark Souls This isn't to take away the achievement Kobayashi and his team has accomplished with cementing Ace Combat's soundtrack as the standard from which all other flight arcade games should look up to when composing memorable musical pieces however.

@@Tsuki6772 True, there are excellent game series that make great use of musical consistency, but I don't think any other franchise comes close to what Ace Combat achieves _with_ its music. Every track in any Ace Combat game is scored operatically. These other titles don't do that. They don't use the music _in leiu_ of dialogue. Ask somebody who hasn't experienced any of those games to listen to the soundtrack on its own and tell you what the music is conveying. Of course this wouldn't work if Ace Combat's soundtrack _wasn't_ thematically consistent. It is more similar to a film soundtrack in this regard, like Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings. (And no, boss music doesn't count because boss music is used to signify a change in gameplay, not a change in narrative)

@@dylanwight5764 Not quite. Ace Combat just so happens to be the first Flight Arcade game to make use of those art styles in its soundtrack considering how niche the genre Ace Combat belongs to. There are other game franchises that's been doing this with their music for a while now especially in the RPG department. Alex Moukala's analysis of how the leitmotif is used on Daredevil basically has him making a fairly accurate assumption of Trigger's fall from grace then rise as a hero even though he has no context about the game's full story since he has not played the game. The thing is, good video game music shouldn't rely on its built-in narrative alone to be good, imho. It should be able to stand on its own, while being elevated itself when used in conjunction with the story of its game and the fact that Ace Combat can do that to the ears of us casual fans and professional composers alike speaks wonders of how ridiculously good Kobayashi and his team really are. Ace Combat is not objectively the first video game franchise to do such a feat in game music composing but you can damn well bet it is one of the greats in the industry due to what it has achieved in its niche genre. From one legend to another, as they say!.

​@@dylanwight5764well put, the more i replay AC, it's more of a cinematic experience rather than a gaming experience

oh... but...why?

Sol 2 | Wit: > AWACS Long Caster: > Sol 3 | Seymour: >

Nemo: *points at Simon Cohen* He did it. He caused all of it. Trigger: But is he Belkan tho? Nemo: One, No. and Two, just kill him pls, trust me bro.

I'll keep it in mind for future remixes!

And Skies of Deception

@@cjmanson5692 Yes, ACX too

Was skies of deception part of the Stangereal universe? I thought it was a separate thing like horizon was. But I agree ACX needs some love too

@@firewolf2079 It is. The narrator/ cutscene POV is the same reporter as the guy from AC5, though the voice actor changed.

@@firewolf2079 Yes, Skies of Deception is part of Strangereal, taking place in the southern half of the Osean continent. In fact, ACX is a stepping stone between AC7 and AC3. The game you're thinking of is Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault, which takes place in a version of the Real World.

God Bless this is beautiful 🤩

I can't stop
