When you think about it, Blaze and his friends are actually even more skilled than the other AC protagonists if they stick with F-14s all the way throughout the entire war. F-14, while a good plane itself, was quite obsolete by the time AC5 took place. Other aces have used more high-tier planes like F-15s, F-22s, or the Sukhoi series, yet the Razgriz Squadron brave through everything in their outdated F-14s. Now THAT is the definition of awesome. Also, by no means insulting F-14s here. The plane is awesome. Wish other AC games would have picked a different 'canon' plane for its protagonists as well. Kind of getting sick of seeing F-22 on the cover all the time lol.
Kinda did this little thing in AC7. For the last mission, I acted like if the Admiral Anderson was carrying Blaze's F-14. Trigger's F-22 can't take off from a carrier. But the scrap queen luckily finds the F-14 and restores it. Trigger then uses the F-14 to down the adf-11's. Kind of a wasted opportunity if you ask me.
Erusea: we will not be outdone! we failed the first time but this time it will be different. we have stolen both of Osea's Arsenal Birds and there space elevator. for Erusea!
There is a lot of dialogue in this mission. If you drag on the Grabacr and Ofnir fight, you get some intense exchanges between the Razgriz and the Belkans until they commit suicide some time after the SOLG becomes targetable... but if you knock them out real quick, you get some quiet reflection from the Ghosts and a moment of silence for Davenport.
It's too bad that there seems to be some scrapped ideas for the SOLG. Oka Nieba seems to have voice lines indicating that originally you have to destroy the magazines first, making it more similar to it's 'fight' in Infinity. That would certainly make the 'fight' longer.
The Kestrel and its crew and the captain are the heros. We get a new Kestrel in AC7 but this will always be the true Kestrel. I promised myself i wouldent cry. Promise broken. Also Sky Eye reference!
Exole001 I do have a tiny problem with the name. Kestral 2 is odd because the naming system for warships doesn't usually add numbers. There have been 4 USS Lexinton ships and they all have that same name. I'd figure the new Kestral would just be the Kestral. they will have something like CV047 or something but they dident relate to the name really.
The Architect Yeah I totally agree with you. Examples like USS Enterprise, Hornet and etc. Wish they did incorporate more towards the naming of Warships than slapping on a "2" on it like the real world. But it's Strangereal Lol. I do think that they put the "2" because of new comers to the franchise will understand that there was an original Kestrel before AC7 and all that. So they have to put the "2" on it I assume
when grimm said "captain chopper... if you're here, please look after us!" i immediately gained a huge boost of focus as if i'm doing this to avenge him. damn deep.
Hamilton: "I'm going to take the Belkan nuke and terrify both sides into ending this foolish war! Don't get in my way!" Does he have a brother who likes crisp white sheets and SALVATION!!!
4:45 It always gets me when we see Razgriz flying off into the horizon one last time while the captain says "As long as they're in the air I haven't lost. And I know they'll succeed." Man, this game has heart.
All along harling was a genuinely good guy. And yet the eruseans thought of him as a dictator and killed him, framing trigger as the killer at the same time
Actually, cut dialogue from the game's files revealed it was Georg, a mercenary hired by Belka who assassinated Harling and blamed you for it. It's those damn Belkans every time
@@michaelweir9666 sadly cut content isn’t canon. It would’ve been fitting to use the mercenary thing back in the mid 2000s, but the drone stuff is more relatable now.
Kinda late but Zero I feel has the worst story. specially with Pixy who saw war crimes and decided the only way to fix the world was commit more war crimes... not the best character.
Vitalization The random friendly ai in 5 and Zero were garbage. At least your allies can kill stuff in 04 and 6.

But AC is an example of the few games you don't mind playing over and over again even if you lost some progress. I remember me as a kid playing the first mission for thousand times until I bought my memory card(that was some weeks later) without complaining about it. What a masterpiece and underrated game!
@@lukasi.v4269 Yes! Someone else who understands the Magic of Ace Combat. I remember doing the same stuff, this one and the belkan war.

That's a lot of time to dedicate to one thing at my age and lose it all. Lmao
Finished the game 10 times and more. Still crying at 31:10 every time I finished the game. The Ace Combat serie is the only franchise that do that on me.
wow just WOW, my first Ace Combat was 7 and I chose to understand this beautiful game series more by watching play throughs of all the previous ones and this... this game... oh my god this is how you do a game. I want to play this so bad this made me cry. This is how you make a game I see why Unsung War is so highly regarded.

The sinking of the Kestrel, making me tear up more than titanic, that epic formation which made me tear up in happy tears to the ending of the sunrise/set on oured as The music kicks in and Razgriz flies into the stratosphere, a deep dark blue. It’s not just good, it’s Art.
I've finished the game today again, the song(journey home) always brings me back memories of my past since 2004, heh i got this game on my birthday on Dec. 4 2004, i turned 4 then and now as a 20 year old, so much happened in the past 16 years. Still brings me tears in my eyes
@@Anonyhouse Ace Combat 7 takes place 9 years after the events of Ace Combat 5 & 15 years after the events of Ace Combat 04. However, its events from both games were mentioned in Ace Combat 7.
Back then, I thought Ace Combat was a "CoD but planes" sorta game, that is until I was trying to create some fighter jet combat scenarios for this story that i was making and got confused because I couldn't get it to be exciting enough (it was basically just a glorified War Thunder's Air RB match), then I stumbled upon a video in my recommendations about trying to recreate Yellow 13 in AC6 (iirc), I saw the first cutscene of the game and was curious so I looked into AC6, I went from that to Ace Combat 7 and was instantly hooked on the gameplay, and so I based some portions of my fighter jet combat scenarios on Ace Combat, and it turned out well. That was in 2020, now in 2021, I've watched the gameplays of Ace Combat 7, Zero, and have just completed 5, And god dang...
I very much regret not having started Ace Combat before 6, but seeing the gameplay and watching how this game became iconic is truly a masterpiece on itself
I really did not expect this game to be as good as it was back when I got it years ago. The entire AC franchise is gold…. But 5 will forever be one of my favorite games ever made by far. Namco and Project Aces seriously caught lightning in a bottle with this game.
During 27+ mission there's an enemy aircraft approaching from south east. I can't remember the model, but you should unlock a plane if you shoot it down
Here i am at 5am cheering for Zap while he takes down the solg and clapping when the title-card hit. Man this game to me is the magnum-opus of the series, bar none. And it was clear how much they tried to reach into the soul of 5 to make Ace Combat 7.
This game suddenly popped in to my head again, thanks for the upload! Though in my head canon I think that Nagase ended up with Blaze and that’s their daughter.
What I never understood is how it was never confirmed that the Demons of Razgriz actually were Wardog Squadron. Like... wasn't Genette with them literally the whole time? often filming? I guess you could say his recordings went down the the Kestrel but he himself survived, why didn't he write about it? My little fan theory is that the whole game(cutscene wise) is being told from a 3rd person, by Genette(Generation Kill style), some time after 2020 when the origins of the Razgriz squadron were declassified. Confirming to the world that yes, it was the Sand Island squadron that saved them.
Genette had saved the records before the Kestral sank, but due to the Circumstances of the war, as well as how publishing the Records would result in the Identities of Razgriz, as well as their allies being exposed (which would put them all in danger), he had to keep the Records classified. Ace Combat 7 actually had Genette publish the records of the Circum-Pacific War about a month after Harling's Death at the time Harling had wanted to reveal the truth, exposing the truth of the Circum-Pacific War. You see that in AC7's Epilogue, on a Magazine. Matter of fact, Harling was killed in AC7 because Erusea and Osea did not want the Maniscripts of the Circum-Pacific war to be made public (due to how easily the Grey Men had infiltrated both sides), and had hoped Harling's death would prevent it, not realizing Harling had planned ahead and told Genette to declassify the Records of the War at the planned date anyway.
32:09 wow even after the events of Ace Combat 7, they still don't know who the demons of razgriz are. I wonder if they'll be featured in a game anytime soon.
My favorite part is that the enemies aren't just the warmongers of Yuktobania, but also the ones from Osea. This is like a battle between Peace and War
Yeah... Seeing this scene again #alonetogether in time of corona pandemic, really gives me chills and deep respect to all the people like health workers/doctor/courier/transportation worker/food service industry and everyone that come together fighting the pandemic. Whilst sometimes sacrificing their own health and safety for the people of the world.. i thank you all and #staysafe everyone
I love this game series sm I literally have emotional attachment to this ngl. Every time I reply it, when I finish I'm upset again. Best game in the series by far🙌
Nah, a B-1 would have trouble catching up to it and dropping a nuke would certainly create a chain of explosions that would destroy coastal Oured, not to mention the B-1 bring vaporized instantly. Just not logical
You know...now that I think about it, the launch scene gives us a hint that Blaze is a selfless and caring person. He's the squadron's captain, yet he's the last one to launch.
Nagasei: "All that's left of their hatred is this thing in front of us." Drones in AC7: "B R U H" One of the few things I dislike about AC 7 is how it did AC 5 so dirty.

The sinking of the Kestrel, making me tear up more than titanic, that epic formation which made me tear up in happy tears to the ending of the sunrise/set on oured as The music kicks in and Razgriz flies into the stratosphere, a deep dark blue.
It’s not just good, it’s Art.
that Kestrel's sinking is a sad death of the hero
its next gen (Kestrel 2), unfortunately, isn't
@@RAZGRIZ016P At least the new aircraft carrier, the Andersen, launched another ace that would end a great war.
I've finished the game today again, the song(journey home) always brings me back memories of my past since 2004, heh i got this game on my birthday on Dec. 4 2004, i turned 4 then and now as a 20 year old, so much happened in the past 16 years. Still brings me tears in my eyes
When the Yuke AWAC flies into formation like a boss
La la la laaaaaa LISTEN TO OUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE
That mission was like Top Gun + Avengers Endgame + Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
I swear that this game will never compare to any game with that ending it teared me up
Its interesting how each game of the holy trilogy has a theme to it
This one is about idealism and its beautiful.
This has got to be the best game in existence. I played this game a lot in my childhood. When i beat for the first time, i almost shed a tear.
And then AC7 happened
Ace 6 before lol
Kestrel II Keeessstrreeeeeelll II keeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssttttttttttttttttrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllll II *TRIGERED*
RIP Kestrel II
Haven't played it yet, so I hear AC7 is basically AC5 the sequel?
@@Anonyhouse Ace Combat 7 takes place 9 years after the events of Ace Combat 5 & 15 years after the events of Ace Combat 04. However, its events from both games were mentioned in Ace Combat 7.
I always loved the silent Howl at the end. Don’t know why, but it’s aesthetically pleasing.
I'm not crying, it's the onion im cutti.. Ok nvm yes I am
The onion is crying too
I remember beating both these missions in the A-6 Intruder... Dont know why, but I enjoyed that plane for some reason.
Thanks for all the uploads, it feel great to see this game again. Your flying was top notch, too.
*Lie down*
*Try not to cry*
*CRY A LOT*
Rehydrate
...
Cry even more.
Fucking soundtrack gets me everytime
I love the yuktobanian AWAC he is so happy.
Back then, I thought Ace Combat was a "CoD but planes" sorta game, that is until I was trying to create some fighter jet combat scenarios for this story that i was making and got confused because I couldn't get it to be exciting enough (it was basically just a glorified War Thunder's Air RB match), then I stumbled upon a video in my recommendations about trying to recreate Yellow 13 in AC6 (iirc), I saw the first cutscene of the game and was curious so I looked into AC6, I went from that to Ace Combat 7 and was instantly hooked on the gameplay, and so I based some portions of my fighter jet combat scenarios on Ace Combat, and it turned out well.
That was in 2020, now in 2021, I've watched the gameplays of Ace Combat 7, Zero, and have just completed 5,
And god dang...
"Man that's a big tunnel". Wait, you're still alive Chopper?
Can we get an f in the chat for my man Alvin h. Davenport?

everyone knows you have to say "no" to that last question in the game. Blaze is a troll and loves to hear those exasperated sighs.
I very much regret not having started Ace Combat before 6, but seeing the gameplay and watching how this game became iconic is truly a masterpiece on itself
I really did not expect this game to be as good as it was back when I got it years ago. The entire AC franchise is gold…. But 5 will forever be one of my favorite games ever made by far. Namco and Project Aces seriously caught lightning in a bottle with this game.
During 27+ mission there's an enemy aircraft approaching from south east. I can't remember the model, but you should unlock a plane if you shoot it down
Here i am at 5am cheering for Zap while he takes down the solg and clapping when the title-card hit. Man this game to me is the magnum-opus of the series, bar none. And it was clear how much they tried to reach into the soul of 5 to make Ace Combat 7.
Ghost of Kyiv, we pray for your success
propaganda
@@edgoodsiroquois8390 cope and seethe
@@edgoodsiroquois8390 even so the simple fact that a legend is spreading in modern times amazes me in a positive way
This is still the best tunnel stage, challenging, tension, and full of feels.
me after seeing the date I was half tempted to do that sky eye refrence
Controversial take. This was the best Ace Combat game.
4 will have a special place in my heart as my first game but 5 made me cry.
Zero was the best, but this one is a VERY close second.
Rip Harling
This game suddenly popped in to my head again, thanks for the upload! Though in my head canon I think that Nagase ended up with Blaze and that’s their daughter.
What I never understood is how it was never confirmed that the Demons of Razgriz actually were Wardog Squadron.
Like... wasn't Genette with them literally the whole time? often filming? I guess you could say his recordings went down the the Kestrel but he himself survived, why didn't he write about it?
My little fan theory is that the whole game(cutscene wise) is being told from a 3rd person, by Genette(Generation Kill style), some time after 2020 when the origins of the Razgriz squadron were declassified.
Confirming to the world that yes, it was the Sand Island squadron that saved them.
Genette had saved the records before the Kestral sank, but due to the Circumstances of the war, as well as how publishing the Records would result in the Identities of Razgriz, as well as their allies being exposed (which would put them all in danger), he had to keep the Records classified.
Ace Combat 7 actually had Genette publish the records of the Circum-Pacific War about a month after Harling's Death at the time Harling had wanted to reveal the truth, exposing the truth of the Circum-Pacific War. You see that in AC7's Epilogue, on a Magazine.
Matter of fact, Harling was killed in AC7 because Erusea and Osea did not want the Maniscripts of the Circum-Pacific war to be made public (due to how easily the Grey Men had infiltrated both sides), and had hoped Harling's death would prevent it, not realizing Harling had planned ahead and told Genette to declassify the Records of the War at the planned date anyway.
32:09 wow even after the events of Ace Combat 7, they still don't know who the demons of razgriz are. I wonder if they'll be featured in a game anytime soon.
Kei Nagase appeared in the final mission though
My favorite part is that the enemies aren't just the warmongers of Yuktobania, but also the ones from Osea. This is like a battle between Peace and War
Yeah. In the future, I'd like to see a game where we play as the Yukes.
"the razgriz squadron lives *among us* "
Yeah... Seeing this scene again #alonetogether in time of corona pandemic, really gives me chills and deep respect to all the people like health workers/doctor/courier/transportation worker/food service industry and everyone that come together fighting the pandemic.
Whilst sometimes sacrificing their own health and safety for the people of the world.. i thank you all and #staysafe everyone
nigga what
I love this game series sm I literally have emotional attachment to this ngl. Every time I reply it, when I finish I'm upset again. Best game in the series by far🙌
There have been amazing games in my life, but this one is in its own category. legendary
1:40 I remember when I watched this scene for the first time. It was sooo shocking....
The final mission should really have been "take off in a B-1 and land a nuke on the solg midair"
Nah, a B-1 would have trouble catching up to it and dropping a nuke would certainly create a chain of explosions that would destroy coastal Oured, not to mention the B-1 bring vaporized instantly. Just not logical
33:42 "The Journey begins."🕊
I’m blown away by your speed and accuracy in the tunnel area,I always slowed down to screeching halt before entering haha
23:53 to restore pride.
26:25
This line... It kinda makes me shed a tear
My best AC serie. So many emotional feels. And the first game who showed me that War is more than just shooting, explosions, and adrenaline surge...
One of the best games every made. Always a little teary eyed at the end.
That phalanx always scared me
care to explain why is one of your men here?
Never flew in the skies of battle again, because they flew ABOVE those skies next time
You know, for a moment there, as the Kestrel is shown sinking, the theme sounds a bit Russian. Maybe to represent who are united in common defense?
Aww... I was hoping to hear Puddle of Mudd's Blurry at the end.
8:54 “I just knocked out our brigade commander”
*LMAO WUT*
Brigade commander back at the base: I NEED EVERY SINGLE UNITS AFTER THOSE DEFECTORS!
The best of the best Ace Combat series💓
You know...now that I think about it, the launch scene gives us a hint that Blaze is a selfless and caring person. He's the squadron's captain, yet he's the last one to launch.
Nagasei: "All that's left of their hatred is this thing in front of us."
Drones in AC7: "B R U H"
One of the few things I dislike about AC 7 is how it did AC 5 so dirty.
this game is my childhood. this brought tears to my eyes
