This game had probably the best storyline ever. It's so in depth and really gets you attached to the game. I love this game, wish there were more games as in depth as this. I really wish other game developers would look at this game and see what a excellent storyline is.
Definitely loved the storylines of the PS2 Ace Combat trilogy. I really wish they'd make a movie trilogy of the three and include the star characters in each one, maybe even connect the three movies and the three aces in each one.
This was the greatest storyline I’ve ever known. Only negative I can possibly think of is what if this was like a series? A 2-3 part series? Sure dragging it out may not be the best but just saying
I am replaying the game and I don't think it's that bad, it is still miles from good but acceptable, they shot down 2 or 3 out of 10 targets, it is acceptable for me
Playing this then Zero and seeing Pixy obliterate half of Gelb squadron made me appreciate having competent teammates. Ace Combat 7 could have used some of that
@@trevelyandovah8479 I think it might have to do with the fact that Pixy was a lone wingman with you. So the devs purposely made him more OP in Zero to replace the three squad mates in Ace Combat 5.
Me too fuck halo getting two remakes this game deseveres it more than anything i had never cried at the ending to a game before i beat this they werent dicking around when they put this games motto as "Nothing else comes close " nothing else has and nothing ever will ......
Jack Barttlet Fifteen years ago there was a war... Also, the Halo game series has, in my opinion at least, evolved whereas the AC has slowly become less and less story (see AC6 and ACAH as reference).
I am yet to play ac6 but I've heard it wasn't as good as the ps2 ones storyline wise, dont even get me started on the shitty generic plotline of assault horizon i was able to predict the end from mission 3 . Thing is there was nothing wrong with the old ace combat formula competitve online doesnt really go with the game to be honest what made this game was the story and I'm yet to experience something that in a single game rivals that of ac5
So yeah in a nutshell ace conbat needs to rely on story theres no question to it they have a great team of in house writers i dont know what happend with fires of liberation(maybe they were focusing on zero?) or why they hired a guy for assault horizon , either way im confident were getting somthing this e3.....
Watching the Kestrel sink still makes my body shiver and brings a tear to my eye. Nostalgia at it's best. I remember when this game came out. Things were simpler those days. 20 years old now and I still don't stop thinking about the good times.
I remember playing 4, 5, and Zero with my dad who was an Air Force pilot. We had so much fun playing together. He taught me so much about planes, and he was really impressed with some of the game's realism like how the HUD looked and a lot of the maneuvers they taught you. Plus the writing and music in these games was really well done. Memories I'll cherish forever.
Despite finishing this game 2749816412times, i cannot believe it took me this long to realize, the zeroes in the cutscene at the start of the game, flying the sukhois who shoot down the trainees, are actually Onfir, and i imagine Grabarc in their f15s did something similar in Yuktobania to help start the war
leon ali Looking at their undercarriage, I'd say they were MiG-29's rather than Su-27's, and if they were Ofnir, I can't imagine (at the very least maybe Bartlett) anyone surviving?
For the love of god! Remaster this game or make it backwards compatible! Or both! I will pay for both, just please for the love of God give me this game back

Played this game as a child. It has had a significant impact on my life. Years later I simply look it up on the web every now and then because it makes me feel good inside.
I know that feeling im sitting here 15 days until AC7 comes out and im trying to be patient but on the inside im as excited as a kid on Christmas. (im 34)
This was one of the best games I ever played and my favorite ace combat game. No ace combat's story has even come close to how epic this one's was. This game was truly a masterpiece. I'm glad to see everyone in these comments shares the same fondness for this game.
So everyone can be a little more informed, If you preorder AC7 on the PS4, you get AC5 in its entirety and if you preorder on Xbox One, you get AC6. Other than that have a blessed day :)
Great story, really brings a tear to your eye. I'm betting that was Nagase and her daughter in the final scene, and Pops flying high over the "Closed" base.
This was my second favorite ace combat. My first being ace combat 4. I like the story and the drawing cutscenes on that one more. Also the guy that narrated ace 4 had a fucking AWESOME VOICE
This is Back when games focused on the story's way more .when I played this game for the first time I just played it to get to the different cutscenes and see how the story' went....the newer game ace combat six was only good to the new graphics. The planes and cockpit's looked a awesome and the combat was good...besides that It was still a disappointed to me..first off only 15 missions that I could beat in a day. It had 15 different aircraft....now ace combat 5 had 29 missions and like 53 aircraft...huge difference... And the story was amazing.... AC6s story was OK but...it was bad for the game.... The story because it wasn't even about the game.. It was about a mother trying to find her kid ...it was so off topic
This is my favorite game, without a doubt. Just looking at the thumbnail for this video I get a bunch of feels. These cutscenes don't tell the whole story, but still, wow... Excellent ps2 game
I honestly played this game AC5 for the first time and until now I'm just super in love with it. There is something about the story which I can't explain, pulling me towards watching this a 100 over and over. Anyone feels the same?
The first Ace Combat game I ever played. Never actually had a favorite plane, except the F-15 and Su-27 classes. Both planes are true predators. The story was awesome, and the graphics superb. When I finished this, I felt empty, knowing it was over, and so I kept playing it, until my PS2 broke. Back then, games were all about fun. Now though...
it's like: 25% soundtrack/ 25% gameplay / 50% story is what makes this game but the 25% is filled with bosses and stuff you have never seen on other games
Isn't there speculation among the fans that blaze and edge got together and had a kid? and in fact the blond girl sitting in edges lap was their daughter?
Yeah. Some fans speculate that Blaze and Nagase did marry and have a kid, but we will just have to wait until AC7 to learn more about them and the Razgriz ACS.
I came back here because google released the Doodle Champion Island mini game, and STUDIO 4C was involved with the project, and guess what? STUDIO 4C also has involved Ace Combat 4 and 5 series before, so today it leads me here Im late indeed, but hey, i was an Ace Combat fan before, but because time pass fast as a busy day, so yeah, glad i get to watch back again
i missed that feeling ace combat 5 has but ace combat 7 nuked the fu.k out of ac5 with gameplay wepons ect but the story and power of 7 was lacking i thought it sucked. we need that powerful story and feeling of ac5 but with all the stuff they added in ac7 plus more like new experimentals aircraft. plus make the story go past 20 missions 33 to 35 at least i mean come on this game is fucking spectacular
Ace Combat 5 is my favorite too, but in AC6 defence the missions were quite longer and I liked the battle system that spread across the whole map. Also I found the story cool, especially how the game keeps talking about when we'll finally reach Gracemeria, and when you finally do reach the city it's really the peak of the game. AC5 had 50+ aircrafts but lots of aircrafts were just recolorations of other aircrafts with small stat changes. And the gameplay felt far more responsive in AC6. All in all, from a 'game' point of view, AC6 is the better game. But AC5 is just so much better when it comes to story, setting and how the plot is brought about.
@@MrZozue I wouldn't call AC6's story a trainwreck, it's certainly more intimate and smaller scale than AC5 but the characters are endearing and the buildup to Gracemeria works really well. Not all story needs to be tentacular like AC5's. But Xbox exclusivity sure sucks
AC6 dealt with some incredibly ugly realities of war. War orphans, civilian displacement, survivors guilt, and wounded warriors to say a few and dealt with them in a very human way. Even the final mission had more of a somber tone, like you facilitating the death of a nation, and personal talking on the ground were well aware of their fate. Personally, I loved 6. I love 5.
I keep coming to this awesome game since i got my flat ps2 before 😭😭😭 this is the 1st game i played in ps2. The cinematic the plot are impressive it gives emotional and different experience as you encounter unique gimmicks of enemies like the hologram jets etc. Razgriz Squadron and Pops are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish for the next Ace Combat game they remake all of the games specially for the PS 4 with the new graphics and gameplay. God I miss flying in these games
My father giving me this game on birthday : "All right, not my type of game but ok, i guess." Me after 4 hour into the game : "I have never been so wrong in my life."
Imagine if it goes like this Nikanor: I am onboard the... Kestrell? Andersen: No, its _Kestrel_ Nikanor: Kestrel Andersen: No no no, its pronounced _Kestrel_ Nikanor: Yeah, Kestrell
And on another note, this is just my opinion but I think the only thing that could have improved this game is if you had a Yuktobanian pilot join your squad rather than Swordsman. Nothing against him he was a cool character but with the idea that the Greymen were doing the same thing to Yuktobania as they were doing to Osea, wouldn't it be kinda cool if there was a Yuktobanian squadron similar to the Sand Island squadron who they Grey men tried to stop by killin them off and instead of one pilot dying (chopper) the whole squadron dies except for the one pilot who you, as Razgriz, rescue and he joins your squadron? Again this is just my personal opinion
The thing is, if such a squadron (or in your case here just a member or 2) existed, then I'm pretty sure Yuktobania wouldn't be on the losing side. Might aswell wipe out Osea single-handedly like what Mobius 1 did to Yellow Squadron
Well but if you look at it Yuktobania really wasn't losing that badly, I mean you were a major factor in several Osean victories but there were other fronts that Yuktobania was winning and if I remember correctly they had forces in mainland Osea like you had in Yuktobania and I'm not saying this squadron should be as badass as wardog was but still maybe an elite squadron that had an impact on key battles (hell maybe even be your rivals initially) and then at a point in the story you and one of the squadron members join sides? And finally what I meant more than anything by like the sand island squadron was just that they got betrayed by the people who they thought were on their side.
O~k, so Osea invading Yuktobania doesn't mean Yuktobania is on the losing side? Hmm I'm fine with the whole also betrayed by their country thing really
So I looked into it I was mostly wrong Yuktobania was losing and I meant that there were fronts other than the one you were based in but what I mistook it for was that Yuktobania was basically winning wherever you weren't based. I was wrong on that, but after you're betrayed they do launch a pretty effective counterattack and push Osea back. But I still feel like it would be interesting to have a rival squadron in Yuktobania and then join forces with them or at least one of their pilots after being betrayed by Grabacr and maybe even have them get betrayed by Ofnir which begins the alliance.
Ace Combat, especially Ace Combat 5, occupies a really weird space for me. Imagine this really elite class of people, fighter pilots, people have to make the decision to be a fighter pilot basically in the earliest parts of their adolescence and work their ass off far more than others just to get the opportunity to get into the possibility of getting a pilot slot. Now imagine, every one of them has like, some kind of autism spectrum problem, they just can't stop saying embarrassing cringe stuff no matter what how hard they try. Now extend that not just across other pilots but everyone in every military in every country. Guess what even more, just everyone alive in this world, they all can't stop saying ridiculous shit no human being would actually say in their situations. That's the world of Ace Combat. Christ, it's so dumb. I mean it's just is so stupid. But at the same time all of that shit is moot, the negative is completely undone because it's just so cool. Yeah, there's that to confront. That's the spirit of Ace Combat. Yeah, an F-5 carrying 20+ FOX-2 is retarded, but forget about it. Don't even worry about it. I still love it and I won't forget it.
They were all happened in the same fiction world of course, if they can make a movie on 4 (shattered Skies) & 6 (fire of Liberation) {the Ulysses Disaster} 5 and Zero (the Belkan Conflict) How Awsome will it be! 3D Full HD LOL
This should be its own movie. It is that epic as a game.
I always dreamed of 2 things from ace combat ! a movie and an HD remake from 3,4,5,zero with 3 in english sub! I have a Dream !
Duck360Gaming2 I do, too.
Duck360Gaming2 We'll call it: " Ace Combat: Storm Front.
Tagline: Always locked on.
I would pay full price for this.
Agent Washington Sounds like a cool idea! B-)
This game had probably the best storyline ever. It's so in depth and really gets you attached to the game. I love this game, wish there were more games as in depth as this. I really wish other game developers would look at this game and see what a excellent storyline is.

Aside from the shittiest friendly AI, this is one of the best games in the series if not THE best.

Hopefully bandai gets smart a we get an hd version of this in 2019 15 years after the original launch
I've never wanted a re-release of a video game more than this one
Me too fuck halo getting two remakes this game deseveres it more than anything i had never cried at the ending to a game before i beat this they werent dicking around when they put this games motto as "Nothing else comes close " nothing else has and nothing ever will ......

Out of curiosity, did anyone play the missions on the same dates in 2010?
S-094 Cam Tried to make a promise like that as a kid, but I totally forgot
DarkSamuraiAssassin
I ended up slipping somewhere around November, during the last few missions.
S-094 Cam I did it 100%. Even on New Years Eve, I fought the SOLG at the same exact time it started at the same date. I was VERY determined.
Death Templer *unlocks IRL gamer medal*
S-094 Cam probably but I was probably playing AC6 around that time
12:33 - The closest we got to a face reveal to the main character in an Ace Combat game?
Watching the Kestrel sink still makes my body shiver and brings a tear to my eye. Nostalgia at it's best. I remember when this game came out. Things were simpler those days. 20 years old now and I still don't stop thinking about the good times.
After saving the Kestrel time and time again. When I finally had to watch her sink i cried, our Kestrel was gone.

You are not alone.
Man I love this game.
Thorsten Schmidt no more awesome stories like these that makes you sad
I love this game and all the music on it
no worries, am trying to bring back everybody's childhood including me

The best Ace Combat ever made!
The most realistic story, in Strangereal that is!
Cloud Cop the most beautifull
(Cough) Zero (cough)
Ace combat zero exists. But the story of ace combat 5 is still my number 1
Played this ten years ago. Still one of the best story I've experienced.
4 is soic as well
I got into liking Puddle of Mudd after realizing that the main theme was "Take it All Away" :)
Santiago Machado can you ?
Santiago Machado The song title is "Blurry", actually. :P

Duck360Gaming2 What's up with the audio?
Imagine if they remade this and Belkan War. Dang, it would restart another genre of games, even in the upcoming VR modes
I think they are remaking this for the ps4
Only three more years until they release the Belkan records!! Can't wait!
2 more years now
1 year now
Where the Belkans a very aggressive people, I am new to this series. Why where they so aggressive.
@Athena Orion AC7 was 2019. it's slated for this year, 2020.
did they release it today?
Played this game as a child. It has had a significant impact on my life. Years later I simply look it up on the web every now and then because it makes me feel good inside.
After seeing the new AC7 videos, I found myself watching videos about AC 4,5 and zero. This damn nostalgia.
I know that feeling im sitting here 15 days until AC7 comes out and im trying to be patient but on the inside im as excited as a kid on Christmas. (im 34)
On my bucket list is having Steve Blum signing my copy of AC5. All hail the Blum!!
S-094 Cam And to have him sign my pirate copies of Code Geass. I knew he was making Kyoushirou's voice as well
I need my cowboy bebop boxset signed
I need to get my PS2 working again, this game series was too good.

+Tuskegee Ace To be fair, the F-22 is a thing of pure beauty.
It doesn't come close to a wing of F-14's.
+Tuskegee Ace it look cool but the f22 is awesome
SU-42 was always my favorite plane
Well F-22 is a fifth gen fighter so...........
So everyone can be a little more informed,
If you preorder AC7 on the PS4, you get AC5 in its entirety and if you preorder on Xbox One, you get AC6.
Other than that have a blessed day :)
Great story, really brings a tear to your eye. I'm betting that was Nagase and her daughter in the final scene, and Pops flying high over the "Closed" base.
Why do they close the base at the end? They need to remaster the holy trilogy
@11:22 the cutscene you needed to have subtitles for else you couldn't hear over that piano.

Ace combat 4, 5, and zero were my fave of the all the ace combat games... I just hate Assault horizon... DFM mode my ass
Damn right Möbius 1 all day baby.
J Mac Hell yeah!
infinity has someof the cinematic qualities of assault horizon without the other trade offs.
Mobius 1 all the way
true in every letter
It's only recently I found out the wreckage plane in the cutscene was a X-02
yep hehe xD so that concludes wardog did actually flew the plane (Not really) :(
........i just found out now
Wait, when/where?
15 years ago, there was a game.
11:20 - I always thought it was my copy, but it seems the audio balance is just generally messed up in this cutscene.
This is my favorite game, without a doubt. Just looking at the thumbnail for this video I get a bunch of feels. These cutscenes don't tell the whole story, but still, wow... Excellent ps2 game
I honestly played this game AC5 for the first time and until now I'm just super in love with it. There is something about the story which I can't explain, pulling me towards watching this a 100 over and over.

One of the best story lines to any game. Cutscenes can only say so much; the gameplay completes the story that the cutscenes show.
If any game is worthy of a reboot on PS4, this is THE one. One of the best, compelling storylines in video game history.
Don't forget PC
There Was Absolutely No Flaw With This Game. B-)
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIDEOGAMES OF MY CHILDHOOD. But I have some question: Why do AC get so worse? Why Nagase and Blaze didn't get together? :/
Its ace combat not Twilight.
you are blaze and you dont get no waifu.
great story for a flight simulator.
Ace Combat 7
Call me stupid, crazy, or say i have bad taste but this game even today has one of the best stories I've ever seen.
its the soundtrack that makes the story, just like the movie interstellar and rush
It could be nostalgia talking but i honesty think i could of enjoyed the story even without the amazing soundtrack.
it's like: 25% soundtrack/ 25% gameplay / 50% story is what makes this game but the 25% is filled with bosses and stuff you have never seen on other games
nagase has such a soothing voice
(clears throat)
She was cucked by that female recon major in the yuke army.
28:35 I remember that scene and it was freaking intense back then
Ace combat 5 that's probably my favorite ACE combat game barnun hands down And by the way
BELKA DID NOTHING WRONG
What the HELL happened to you Namco?
I would not be surprised if Russia dos this at 0:58 to avoid losing and keep what little pride they have
so AC5 is what happened after AC zero?
If you want to look at it that way sure. The games in chronological order is Zero, Air, 2, 4, 5 OK, 5, 6, XI, X, Advanced, and then 3.
Yakasuki Oh ok... but in what year was ace combat 6 supposed to be?
Yakasuki But the last 3 dont take place on Strangereal....
Santiago Moncada which specific 3 are we talking about?
Infinity and assault hrizon
An absolute masterpiece!! Love the story and game play.
It's 2024. I'm still playing this game!
"There were only three of them, now."
4:03 best girl. I've said enough, I'm gone.
whod the name ? l forgot
這遊戲很好玩～空戰模式接近真實～但是劇本才是最精彩的！現實中有很多第一線的人員默默的奉獻給國家/社會/家庭/企業或團體～
但未必都會有營幕上的英雄的對待（有時營幕上的英雄也很痛苦）~
甚至還會被揹上惡名～
I miss games like this.
Isn't there speculation among the fans that blaze and edge got together and had a kid? and in fact the blond girl sitting in edges lap was their daughter?
aceofaces18 Seriously??
Yeah. Some fans speculate that Blaze and Nagase did marry and have a kid, but we will just have to wait until AC7 to learn more about them and the Razgriz ACS.
in the beginning you can see a trainee in the background behind Edge and to the left. He's blonde with aviator sunglasses. Could be Blaze
It could be some random girl and mother haha
ExcaliburXMS whelp we know nothing about edge and Nagase after 7 still. I wish they did show up though.
I came back here because google released the Doodle Champion Island mini game, and STUDIO 4C was involved with the project, and guess what? STUDIO 4C also has involved Ace Combat 4 and 5 series before, so today it leads me here
Im late indeed, but hey, i was an Ace Combat fan before, but because time pass fast as a busy day, so yeah, glad i get to watch back again
I feel like buying a ps2 just to play this game! They better make a remastered version soon
i missed that feeling ace combat 5 has but ace combat 7 nuked the fu.k out of ac5 with gameplay wepons ect but the story and power of 7 was lacking i thought it sucked. we need that powerful story and feeling of ac5 but with all the stuff they added in ac7 plus more like new experimentals aircraft. plus make the story go past 20 missions 33 to 35 at least i mean come on this game is fucking spectacular
I just realized that AC5 is basically Sum of All Fears with pilots as the main characters instead of the CIA
Ace Combat 5 is my favorite too, but in AC6 defence the missions were quite longer and I liked the battle system that spread across the whole map.
Also I found the story cool, especially how the game keeps talking about when we'll finally reach Gracemeria, and when you finally do reach the city it's really the peak of the game.
AC5 had 50+ aircrafts but lots of aircrafts were just recolorations of other aircrafts with small stat changes. And the gameplay felt far more responsive in AC6. All in all, from a 'game' point of view, AC6 is the better game.
But AC5 is just so much better when it comes to story, setting and how the plot is brought about.
namco needs to remaster AC5, so more people can experience one of the greatest storylines in a video game :D
Yeah, while I agree on the scale of battles, AC6's story is a complete trainwreck and Xbox exclusivity didn't help the game either.
@@MrZozue I wouldn't call AC6's story a trainwreck, it's certainly more intimate and smaller scale than AC5 but the characters are endearing and the buildup to Gracemeria works really well. Not all story needs to be tentacular like AC5's.

AC6 dealt with some incredibly ugly realities of war. War orphans, civilian displacement, survivors guilt, and wounded warriors to say a few and dealt with them in a very human way.
Even the final mission had more of a somber tone, like you facilitating the death of a nation, and personal talking on the ground were well aware of their fate. Personally, I loved 6. I love 5.

8:32 Puddle of Mud! How did I not notice that when I last played this game?
Watching this yet again because I'm depressed that time flies to damn fast
It always bugs me how the music steps on the dialogue at the 12 minute mark.
51:04
Fuck this make me cry everytime with this music. I really love the heroism expressed in every ace combat
I wish for the next Ace Combat game they remake all of the games specially for the PS 4 with the new graphics and gameplay. God I miss flying in these games
Maybe if enough fans get behind it they will remaster 5 and Zero.
How....is this not a HBO mini series of movie? Preferably HBO, it can give more time to do the missions justice.
My father giving me this game on birthday : "All right, not my type of game but ok, i guess."
Me after 4 hour into the game : "I have never been so wrong in my life."
how could Yuktobanian Air Force Using Lockheed Martin, Mcdonell douglas, Typhoon, Dassault Plane?
It's Ace Combat man. Don't worry about it. :P
Dear god this was amazing
Fast and furious x Ace combat 5
In terms of the storyline, its a toss up between Ac5 and AcZero...in my opinion.
Imagine if it goes like this
Nikanor: I am onboard the... Kestrell?
Andersen: No, its _Kestrel_
Nikanor: Kestrel
Andersen: No no no, its pronounced _Kestrel_
Nikanor: Yeah, Kestrell
Enjoy this game so much...love from the start to the end,i even watch the whole credit 😂they dont make this kinda game anymore
holy shit i just realized something... at 7:15....Hamilton's voice...why does he sound like Sephiroth at this point?
15 years ago i was born
I do crush on Kei Nagase ;)
i feel like it looks real right now with our real world.
dam they need to make a remake of this game and zero. and also either a movie or HBO mini series. would be great.
puddle of bludd
September 2022 🇲🇽
I love all the cutscenes on this game, ac5 is an epic game who agrees with me on that?
This is the best ace combat game
This game was great and graphics were amazing for time. I want to find a ps2 so i can play this again
Welcome to feeland... damn I miss this game.
Who else found themselves saluting the kestrel with the sailors as she sank?? I sure did
best ace combat game ever......ace combat 6 and assault horizon are nothing compared to this one i won the campaing mode in only 2 days
I like how pops looked angry when the gun was pulled on him.
54:09 thats a belkan wall O-O , Lang lebe Razgriz ---> long live razgriz
15 years ago ... there was a war.
And on another note, this is just my opinion but I think the only thing that could have improved this game is if you had a Yuktobanian pilot join your squad rather than Swordsman. Nothing against him he was a cool character but with the idea that the Greymen were doing the same thing to Yuktobania as they were doing to Osea, wouldn't it be kinda cool if there was a Yuktobanian squadron similar to the Sand Island squadron who they Grey men tried to stop by killin them off and instead of one pilot dying (chopper) the whole squadron dies except for the one pilot who you, as Razgriz, rescue and he joins your squadron? Again this is just my personal opinion
The thing is, if such a squadron (or in your case here just a member or 2) existed, then I'm pretty sure Yuktobania wouldn't be on the losing side. Might aswell wipe out Osea single-handedly like what Mobius 1 did to Yellow Squadron
Well but if you look at it Yuktobania really wasn't losing that badly, I mean you were a major factor in several Osean victories but there were other fronts that Yuktobania was winning and if I remember correctly they had forces in mainland Osea like you had in Yuktobania and I'm not saying this squadron should be as badass as wardog was but still maybe an elite squadron that had an impact on key battles (hell maybe even be your rivals initially) and then at a point in the story you and one of the squadron members join sides? And finally what I meant more than anything by like the sand island squadron was just that they got betrayed by the people who they thought were on their side.
O~k, so Osea invading Yuktobania doesn't mean Yuktobania is on the losing side? Hmm I'm fine with the whole also betrayed by their country thing really
So I looked into it I was mostly wrong Yuktobania was losing and I meant that there were fronts other than the one you were based in but what I mistook it for was that Yuktobania was basically winning wherever you weren't based. I was wrong on that, but after you're betrayed they do launch a pretty effective counterattack and push Osea back. But I still feel like it would be interesting to have a rival squadron in Yuktobania and then join forces with them or at least one of their pilots after being betrayed by Grabacr and maybe even have them get betrayed by Ofnir which begins the alliance.
You played this a long time ago right?
51:15 that cello though.
Gets me everytime.
This game OST is a masterpiece.
got me crying in the club rn
I can imagine Tom Cruise as Captain Bartlett
Whoever wrote this is amazing.
Ace Combat, especially Ace Combat 5, occupies a really weird space for me. Imagine this really elite class of people, fighter pilots, people have to make the decision to be a fighter pilot basically in the earliest parts of their adolescence and work their ass off far more than others just to get the opportunity to get into the possibility of getting a pilot slot. Now imagine, every one of them has like, some kind of autism spectrum problem, they just can't stop saying embarrassing cringe stuff no matter what how hard they try. Now extend that not just across other pilots but everyone in every military in every country. Guess what even more, just everyone alive in this world, they all can't stop saying ridiculous shit no human being would actually say in their situations. That's the world of Ace Combat.
Christ, it's so dumb. I mean it's just is so stupid. But at the same time all of that shit is moot, the negative is completely undone because it's just so cool. Yeah, there's that to confront. That's the spirit of Ace Combat. Yeah, an F-5 carrying 20+ FOX-2 is retarded, but forget about it. Don't even worry about it. I still love it and I won't forget it.
those music credits :')
They were all happened in the same fiction world of course, if they can make a movie on 4 (shattered Skies) & 6 (fire of Liberation) {the Ulysses Disaster} 5 and Zero (the Belkan Conflict) How Awsome will it be! 3D Full HD LOL
Welcome to feeland... damn I miss this game.
