"You won't believe this, Jean-Louis! They all have blue ribbons" is such an amazing line. You are a hero and now there's more of you, so the enemy has no choice but to give it all as well
Also regarding Keiki Kobayashi, when FF7 Remake was first released, the track called “The Valkyrie” caught some attention because it felt like an Ace Combat track and people jokingly at the time said they brought in Kobayashi to do just one track, but then it was confirmed later that yes they actually did bring him on for that one track, and it’s one of the stand out new tracks of the FF7 compilation. Highly recommend everyone to give it a listen if you’ve not heard it.
Fun Fact: AC04 was originally supposed to be a remake of another popular Namco game "Gradius." Unfortunately the project was scrapped, but the engine that AC04 uses was carried over to the game we all know and love today. EDIT: I got the name wrong. It was Xevious, not Gradius. The two titles sound the same lol
Just took a look at a canceled game trailer on the Acepedia TH-cam channel, and I can see the similarities between what was prototyped here and Ace Combat 4! Particularly the replay screen with the UI elements looking very similar if not fully identical to how it looks to AC4. The video in question for anyone curious: th-cam.com/video/YhWbXfJz15g/w-d-xo.html
I honestly can't believe that you didn't include The Northern Eye as one of the best tracks, because it is. Hearing its booming crescendos as you look at the tops of snowy mountains is almost a spiritual experience. Without words it still exudes the sheer majesty of the mountain range that you're flying over.
The mission names are reverse aswell in AC4 it was “Stonehenge offensive” and in Ac7 it was called “Stonehenge Defensive”. So just subtle detail that I love.
Im surprised you also didn't mention the final hangar speech. Just hearing the CO give his final speech to all military personnel before heading into the final battle gives me goosebumps every time!
when the CO says "Let us take back our SHATTERED SKIES!" I usually love adding my own final line of "and let our victory be heard like Distant Thunder!" as a nod to the other title of the game in I believe Europe. and I love that speech so much. honestly everything that remotely involves the Megalith mission is just peak performance.
Man, that was a great retrospective! Ace04 was my second game of the series I've played (the first was Air Combat PS1), it really holds up to this day. Hearing the vocals and seeing Mobius 1's F-22 roaring pass a flock of seagulls in the opening sequence was a huge nostalgia rush when playing it again for the first time in a decade.
Mihaly is a kind of a joke with all the immersive Breaking scripted Combat and maneuvers 🤢😤 Which Totally Defeats the Whole Point of Why Yellow Squadron Was Iconic Smfh 7 is non canon to me In fact it’s like the Star Wars Sequels of Ace Combat that could use a Remake
I will always love this game for what is and for being one of the first games I ever beat in general. Hell i even made a lets play series of it becuase i love it so much. That ending song always gets to me every time I hear it. Thanks for making a great video of this beloved game of the series. I still wish they would make a remaster for the holy trinity of Ace Combat games.
I love this so much, you speak with so much love and passion for this game. I work as a bush pilot in remote Western Australia and I listen to these soundtracks every time I fly.
TBH I don't know whats with the sudden boom of AC videos but I like it... keep em up boiz EDIT: I don't agree that in the Final mission the Yellows there are rookies. Fun fact Jean-Louise is Yellow 1 or the leader/boss of Yellow squad if you listen trough the coms in Comona. Also since Yellow squad isnt TGT you dont have to shoot them down but if you dont Mobius squad will be destroyed.
I don’t think any other game has made me feel like a hero like this game. Even epic open world rpgs where you are the destined chosen one don’t give me the same feeling of fighting for something greater than hearing my wingmen cheering me on and the fear and reverence of the enemy as my ribbon emblazoned fighter flies forth. And I’ve never met an adversary who I respected more than Yellow 13. No other game has made me feel like I mattered in the world. This game deserves to be near the top of any greatest game list. I encourage anyone who hasn’t to play it. I also wish someone would make a show about these games, though there’s something pure about the games that probably adds to how great they are.
Another really well thought out long-form video on the Ace Combat series - thank you Unfortunately I never played AC4 (and no longer play video games) but AC5 was one of my formative gaming experiences and remains dear to me. I really enjoyed 6 too, and am glad to see such a special franchise get the retrospectives it deserves
Been waiting for this. Ace Combat 4 to me while not my first played(That honor goes to AH unfortunately). It is the one I feel leaves me the most emotional, a short(relatively) and to the point narrative. It's war scenario is the most realistic I feel, and is self contained, and the characters introduced and the war itself I feel is the most fleshed out of the conflicts. Yellow 13 and Mobius 1 I feel are the true breakout protag pilots and something about this OST especially the "USEA national Athem" and more obviously Agnes Dei leave a special place in my heart. Especially the Final mission hanger speech. Also in regards to 9:12, I had that experience as they set up AC7 at the Oceana 2023 Airshow. Which I experienced, and it was quite the fun.
It really says something about how well of a story that this game tells that even if it doesn't have the most bombastic or flashy presentation, it still leaves a mark on people, myself included. I really like how the rivalry (if you could even call it that) between Mobius 1 and Yellow 13 is handled in the game too, as if both of them are knights who must do what needs to be done, but they both respect one another and keep the fight fair and clean. I really like this game's music too, especially more so after seeing how impactful the direction of the music would go on to be for the future titles too. That's so cool to hear about the airshow, hell yeah! It's been a while since I've gone to an airshow myself, but I'm hoping to be able to attend another one sooner or later.
@@ThunderousFolf This was my entry point in the series, and I'm glad to see it's not just that nostalgia maintaining this as my favorite. Such a great game. Great job on (and thank you for) this video!
Love this breakdown especially near the end with the background of how each country’s relations got escalated to war. I never knew! Also, how can you not mention “emancipation” mission music? Suuuuch a good track! Thanks for the video, and excellent job!
AC04 was the first AC game I finished the campaign for. (I played AC5 when I was like 4 or 5ish) The feeling of watching that end cutscene and credits (and hearing 'Blue Skies' for the first time) is something I'll never forget. Also, great job with the video man. You're making great stuff really consistently!
One of those games where you sit back and reflect on the journey you just finished while the credits roll and the music plays, I know the feeling. Thanks! 😄
I’ve heard that the Japanese version of “Ace Combat 3” received a fan translation to English a few years ago. The difference is that the American version has a very cut down story and a few missions that are not included because of it as well as a much lower production value on the actual storytelling aspect of the game while the Japanese version has fully animated anime style cut scenes. That means said a full English fan translation is available so that’s cool.
qaam in other ace combat games: anti air missile with stronger firepower and more sharp manuver qaam in ace combat 04: once fired and you are at high altitude your done for because this missile never stop unless it hit it target
@@mrandrossguy9871 and yeah your right in shattered skies after i unlock a multirole jet that have qaam and good air to ground special weapon it for sure would be the one that i always used if i hasnt unlocked the xo 2
Heh that bit about playing ace combat in front of aircraft makes me realise how much that influenced me. My home town is small, pointless and quiet. This means that when all the air/naval/space bases nearby suffer from busy airtraffic from civilians they always do practice here. Ive fallen in love with the F-5E Tiger II because we have a had a duo of them be permanently based here. This has made me go after the older games where the F-5E is playable. AC7 was my first.
On my first run of this game, I did Megalith with the F-15C, in honor of the Demon Lord of the Round Table, Galm 1 Cipher. I also have a mod for GMod that replaces the HL2 menu sounds with AC04 menu sounds. From one fox-hybrid (Dogxim) to another (Folf), I tip my metaphorical slouch hat to you (my PFP isn’t my sona).
I've been thinking of making a love letter to ace combat video, mostly to just have my opinion out there, but also youtube is helping small channels. I should learn how to animate stuff tho
More Ace Combat content on TH-cam is always a good thing to see! I take it you would want to incorporate some animation into your video if you decide to make it?
@@ThunderousFolf Yeah, kinda like what you do to show the other game titles, and of course the iconic briefing. I've been thinking how I'd do it and I think that making them in unity which I already kinda know how to handle would be the best shot
Amazing vid! I never knew about the Air Show Demo. That is such a amazing marketing move. Would have been so epic to be there. I am a massive long time fan of the series and 4 was my first and to this day one of the most influential games of my life!
I see on my memory card that I've played 145 hours. Granted that memory card is from 2002. Still though, I can't think of a game that holds such a grip on me. I play through it at least a few times a year.
you mentioned about AC4 being done even after AC3 was deemed a financial failure, in my opinion what made this happen was the fact that everyone always talk possitivily about AC3 gameplay, but when everyone knew that the japanese version was far superior in history, had branching paths, the game was harder (believe me, I've played both versions back in the day) people looked a little bit with desdain towards the western release, so I think namco thought, well the game didn't sold well but it wasn't the game's fault, it was our decision to not invest in the western release wich did it to not sold well
I have a slight feeling that Cipher may be your favourite. He did get special emphasis xD I can relate tho. I also recently started with the series and I started with Zero though so I am very biased.
If I was still a teenager and I was given the option to rank these, 5 would have been my top game and 4 would have been my second favorite. Looking at it as an adult, though, Zero has become my most favorite, with 5 being second and 4 being third. Zero just speaks to my maturity, more. 4 doesn’t hit like it used to
Thank you very much for this video. Always liked people whom covers "Generic" looking games but with deeper than appeared meanings, makes you re-discover things that was not apparent. Ace combat strange real world is expansive one even though we get to experience it mostly through the cockpit Hud of an aircraft and its that sense of the unknown that gives it its well deserved charm and depth. But then again, that maybe a mirror towards what we want to believe 🤣
i might be wrong here but whenever i use the enemy paint on my plane enemy AI seem to confuse me with one of their own and actually start flying in formation with me. wich admitedlly makes me feel guilty for shooting them down.
funny how we keep finding excuses to replay the game. mine is i just got the newer version of PCSX2 and couldnt tranfer my saves. oh well, guess il HAVE to replay ir again, there's no other way to get my progress back, im DEFINATLLY not playing the game becouse i WANT to. wink, wink@@kpjammerwolf330
AC 4,5,6 (Zero) reminds me of Star Wars ep 4,5,6 (the coincidence is just too real). 4 to start it off. 5 the perfect sequel. 6 (Zero) the perfect ending.
Hard to believe that AC04, 05 and 06 were PS2 games given the low specs of the PS2 console. Also hard to believe that AC07 is a PS4 game given the considerably higher specs of the PS4 console!
Damn brouh, It’s like StarWars almost with “Does it Really matter what Trilogy you start with ?” I think it Does personally; I was introduced Chronologically but Ace04 in 2003 Greatest Hits 😅 Then Ace5 2005 😎 Then AceZer0 around Release ALL Thanks to my Dear Father Now out of ALL the games in this franchise That is viewable Thanks to TH-cam; I Really do think Ace04 is Simply The Essential Title ! When you think about it, Compare and Contrast With the whole Franchise it is Shattered Skies/Distant Thunder that has Basically ALL the things that is necessary Or ALL that was good from Previous installments into one So Far ! Now I could explain in depth but that would be too long; let’s just say Flight Model aka Flying Graphics/feel of flight or how planes Move, 💯 perfectly balanced with jump-in “arcade” learning curve With Sophisticated and Realistic FLIGHT MODEL So with that out of the Way, basically ‘Gameplay/Visuals/Music/SFX/ and Lastly Story’ ALL complete with 2Player Split-screen So yeah personally even when watching On YT all the games in the Series, it is Ace04 that Truly gives me that Aviation/Military Fantasy Passion FEEL out of ALL the Rest With that being said, I find it Unfortunate and Fortunate at same time that I Started with 04 When it was relatively new And Still think it’s Best Can have that stupid “Nostalgia Goggles” effect when explaining to others 🤷♂️However I truly believe it is 04 that perfected everything that came before it AND TO THIS DAY No other Installment has had the same Perfection at least having all that was before it, Honesly Ace5 is probably my second Fav mostly because yes it’s NOSTALGIC But also (AGAIN Watching All Other games in comparison as I have not played them all yet) The Story was Blew Me Away And was Perfectly blended in with Physical Gameplay As it had that most Adventure Which still makes up for Lack of 2Player and A Bunch a Other imperfections (Flight Model) Like I said I could type several pages but I leave it here 😊
To me it’s Not all about the Story But about EVERYTHING ELSE basically, Mostly about the Immersion of the Gameplay at least with Games like This With the Exception of Unsung War ! That Blew me away like I said, being the Second in the Franchise that I have ever played 🤷♂️ Like I said I still have Plenty of Ace cOmbcats to experience Though probably still won’t change my view that Ace04 is The Definitive but Ace5 is the definitive Story telling
27:43 you'll not gonna believe me when I say that I downloaded the extended version of this soundtrack and the ac7 main menu these were the only extended ost I have 🥲🥲
"You won't believe this, Jean-Louis! They all have blue ribbons" is such an amazing line. You are a hero and now there's more of you, so the enemy has no choice but to give it all as well
Is anyone else gonna agree that “Silent” is the creepiest song in the whole game
Yeah your right….
Where the hell does this track even play? It seems just… so off from the game itself and I don’t ever remember hearing it
@@su-5755 in the briefing for the final mission
@@matthewtrevino2677 ah I see, yeah I don’t think I ever really noticed it because of all the other sounds happening at the time, thanks

Blockade is honestly the music that perfectly captures Ace Combat’s identity to me, awe-inspiring and epic.

Greatest war story ever told in a video its not some mustache twirling villain hes just like you only on the other side

Why are these games unavailable today? I have ace 5 from pre ordering ace 7. I cant believe its not for sale. Along with the rest. 1-3 too. 🤷♂️

Damn brouh,
It’s like StarWars almost with “Does it Really matter what Trilogy you start with ?”
I think it Does personally;
I was introduced Chronologically but Ace04 in 2003 Greatest Hits 😅
Then Ace5 2005 😎
Then AceZer0 around Release
ALL Thanks to my Dear Father
Now out of ALL the games in this franchise That is viewable Thanks to TH-cam;
I Really do think Ace04 is Simply The Essential Title !
When you think about it, Compare and Contrast With the whole Franchise it is Shattered Skies/Distant Thunder that has Basically ALL the things that is necessary Or ALL that was good from Previous installments into one So Far !
Now I could explain in depth but that would be too long;
let’s just say Flight Model aka Flying Graphics/feel of flight or how planes Move, 💯 perfectly balanced with jump-in “arcade” learning curve With Sophisticated and Realistic FLIGHT MODEL
So with that out of the Way, basically ‘Gameplay/Visuals/Music/SFX/ and Lastly Story’
ALL complete with 2Player Split-screen
So yeah personally even when watching On YT all the games in the Series, it is Ace04 that Truly gives me that Aviation/Military Fantasy Passion FEEL out of ALL the Rest
With that being said, I find it Unfortunate and Fortunate at same time that I Started with 04 When it was relatively new And Still think it’s Best Can have that stupid “Nostalgia Goggles” effect when explaining to others 🤷♂️However I truly believe it is 04 that perfected everything that came before it AND TO THIS DAY No other Installment has had the same Perfection at least having all that was before it, Honesly Ace5 is probably my second Fav mostly because yes it’s NOSTALGIC But also (AGAIN Watching All Other games in comparison as I have not played them all yet) The Story was Blew Me Away And was Perfectly blended in with Physical Gameplay As it had that most Adventure Which still makes up for Lack of 2Player and A Bunch a Other imperfections (Flight Model)
Like I said I could type several pages but I leave it here 😊
I named my ship in sea of thieves farbanti
I’d call it the Kestrel
@@aplane9625 i have farbinti , north point and Taninger
To me it’s Not all about the Story
But about EVERYTHING ELSE basically,
Mostly about the Immersion of the Gameplay at least with Games like This
With the Exception of Unsung War !
That Blew me away like I said, being the Second in the Franchise that I have ever played 🤷♂️
Like I said I still have Plenty of Ace cOmbcats to experience
Though probably still won’t change my view that Ace04 is The Definitive but Ace5 is the definitive Story telling
I played in this order
3 0 5 7su 4 lol
Mobius 1 Engage
The fact that you didn't mention tango lines music is very disappointing lol
