If you pay attention over the course of the missions, I believe it starts off low, builds to a triumphant crescendo, and then missions 18 hits and its just quiet.
Much respect and thank you for staying and listening to the fighting speech before selecting the missile to get started on the last mission. That's the definition of a true ace combat 4 fan.
You know what made this game so good. It was the perfect balance of arcade and realism, and it had a fair point system. It also had incredible replay value. I had this game, and snake eater, both of which I played until I succeded in 90%+ completion.
+Bryan Hascall I started flight games with ace combat 4 and moved on to 5 Then I went to play the real flight sims. However Ace combat 4 and 5 had some attention to detail that made you feel like an actually pilot like the delayed sound of explosions to recreate the speed of sound, or the sonic boom you make in ace combat 5. Its completly too arcade for me to play but I think its the best in flight games. thats where I got my start. love ace combat 4 and still have it.
God dammit, this game and snake eater were the most cinematic games I played in my youth. You felt good when you played them They were the swan song of video games as an art form.
After all these years I just realized that AWACS asked all of Mobius squadron to report. Mobius 1 - 8 report in and AWACS is like okay good. Then a minute later you hear "Mobius 9 engaging". Like damn bro straight up ignored AWACS.
swumprat Well Mobius 1 is said to have the efficiency of a single squadron of ISAF fighters. On Ace mode, the other pilots in Mobius squadron actually get rolfstomped by the Yellow squadron fighters you fight on this mission. I think the most I've ever had survive was 2.
I always get chills down my spine when I hear the opening roll of the music in this mission. Then, it's just a cascade of feels that make me want to: in equal measures, charge across the continental U.S. in a symbol of patriotism. Or, curl up in a ball in the corner and wait until the feels are gone.
I don't know why, but Ace Combat 4 remained to be the best out of all the AC Series. With Ace Combat 5 being second. Then you have Ace Combat Zero catching up.
It's because Ace Combat 4 set the bar for the other two PS2 entries. That, and the fact that Mobius 1 is unanimously regarded as the Ace of Aces, making an appearance in some shape or form in almost every Ace Combat entry after 4.
I think it's because of the "Show Don't Tell" nature of his story and personality: Aside from him doing the entire game alone without a squadron, you can extrapolate an entire character arc from ingame missions alone, without ever needing an explanation (Like the dialogue in AC5 or the documentary in ACZ). He starts as a rookie pilot, loses his entire squadron in Lifeline, outruns Stonehenge then lands a hit on a Yellow (possibly 13), then actually KILLS Yellow 4 alongside Stonehenge, then basically decimates any opposition in front of him before taking Farbanti and destroying Megalith.
Mobius 8, the pilot that sometimes says "Don't fly in a straight line" and "Check your planes" is one of my favorite voices in this game. You gotta love SkyEye as well.
It is. After watching through this playthrough multiple times, I could hear him announcing his engagement of the enemy. Sadly, I don't recall seeing it on screen at all.
3:37 - 4:05 holy fucking shit the goosebumps... I’m not fucking joking when I say that I was tearing up when I first played this mission. Literally everything about it is what gets me the feels, the music mixed with the enemy/friendly commentary, especially Yellow Squads realization that they’re going up against multiple insignia fighters, gets me every damn time
My favorite part about this mission was that the whole time, the game gave you access to that (skippable) landing minigame after each mission. And it felt tacked-on and pointless every time. But it taught you to get low, fly straight, watch your elevation, and follow a tight path. And then, you get to the last boss, and you realize you shouldn't have been skipping that goddamn minigame.
Erusea has never been especially stable. They started as an absolute Monarchy, then the royal family was ousted in favor of a Federal Republic, which was taken over by a military junta (during AC04), and now it's back in AC:07 as a monarchy again.
Still get chills 10 years later...Megalith was one of the best endings of my gaming career. Still get chills....wanna play it now. (Well that and MGS3.) Would of been a great online mission, like if 20 people have to fight and finish....damn...that dog fighting would be crazy. 10vs10? Ugh.
Next time. Who cares what difficulty you did it on. Its still some damn good flying on probably the best final mission with the best soundtrack I've seen in a long time of gaming pal.
I wish they made an Ace Combat game where all the "Aces" come together in one timeline to save the planet or something... Still, I would only want to play as Mobius One... MOBIOUS FOREVER!
Ace Combat 8: Mobius Alliance Story? Cipher, Mobius One, Blaze, Gryphus One and Garuda One teamed up to takes on the remnants of the Grey Men and Free Erusea..and they have the proto-ZOE.
Just beat this game last night, this mission almost made me rage quit, amazing how some of you get so good at this, I fire those same missiles at Yellow's and can barely hit one!
I remember playing this came on my 8th birthday, Jesus on the finale mission I remember jumping and cheering all over the place and know having to come back to Usea on AC7 is just great. Oh and one more thing it's time to go to the Osean Air Force
It would've been more epic if you had the camera centered on the F-22 instead of its missiles when they were giving the speech in the hangar... Still it was a good run... Props on the quality...
Those arent lasers. Or at least they are aiming lasers. Megalight uses missiles to destroy asteroids, so that the fragments fall and hit certain targets
They should remake this game... with the modern graphics of AC7, imagine how this final mission would look like, all those meteors falling, some crashing againts aircrafts, you could see massive explosions in the horizon due to the meteors crashing to the earth, having to dodge meteors as they ramdonly falls while you fight againts the whole yellow squadron... damn.
I overkill this game by flying only a strict like License flight with my F-14 Tomcat, of course on Ace Mode. I'll be looking forward to a one on one with this guy and others too. A true ace has been resurrected! But not bad of the game play and good job too. :)
Saw after the 2nd generator you were ready to take out the missiles but it looks like you forgot the 3rd generator. Awesome flying too! Looks like mine when I was playing the game,
interesting run. honestly, ive beaten every ace combat game using the a10- warthog. kinda interesting to shoot down su-37s with the a-10. and this mission took me 3 years to complete with any other plane.
If you go back to the start of my Videos i stated that all most of my PS2 games are recorded on a PS3 that has backwards compatibility. Also for pcsx2 i have never been able to get perfect cut sceens. Like the intro for instance there alot of black bars in the video and then the f22 is all black.
Something I never understood - Why is there a massive meteor shower going on? The Ulysses asteroid had already hit at this point, right? That's why the war happened in the first place.
As stated in the mission briefing, Megalith was a facility built by Erusea (post-Ulysses) to shoot down asteroid fragments in orbit. Most likely, the meteor shower was a result of attempts by Megalith to drop the remaining Ulysses fragments onto Usea.
This answer is two years late: The war was started when Erusia stopped taking in refugees that were displaced by the Ulysses fragments that fell to earth when Stonehenge shot it. They used Stonehenge as the AA weapon after that.
Im going with no, It's never stated that he fought in that war. But apparently, in one of the books that were released, he was the guy who trained Yellow 13.
My theory has always been that they didn't have enough voice actors in the studio that day, so that was a way to make someone doubling up a little less obvious.
