I served in a military unit and recently I ended my service. Headed home and suddenly had this playing. NGL it was the first time I ever cried going home
Rot 1 A nation is comprised of the individuals who live in its borders. It can only become a nation when it is supported by those individuals. But mercenaries who cross lines and allegiance for money have no country to protect. They only fight for their own power and fame. But if that was the case, then why did I lose to him? Maybe not having the burden of a nation allows you to fly faster. Grun 1 War is something fought on the desk of politicians. As long as they win in the end, that’s all that matters. But for us, it’s a matter of survival. In order to survive, you need to analyze the situation in an instant. It’s the same as living in a city. The rules of this little city apply just as well to that wide open sky. That guy had the same feel about him as this city. Indigo 1 I fly under the code of knighthood. It’s no surprise since we soldiers are the descendants of the Belkan Knights. We protect the meek and give our lives for honor. But that does not mean that we are generous…since generosity will cost us our lives. If the pilot survived to the end of the war, he must have carried out these rules. Schwarze Leader Is the man still alive? Though I guess it’s hard for bad guys like us to die. The real heroes always manage to die first. But guys like him, Solo Wing, and me, we live the rest of our lives in hell. But then again, being alive is proof that we were good. Schnee 1 When a fighter plane goes down, that’s the end. It disintegrates into pieces, incinerated beyond recognition. It’s a scary thought. But it also makes you feel alive. I left the military, but I still fly that sky. But…it’s pretty lonely up there all by myself. I’d love to fly with him again someday. Silber 1 Hatred cannot be the only motivation for war. It only brings about more pointless deaths. I lost most of my students. They were all my children, my flesh and blood. I will never overcome that grief. I’ll probably never teach anyone again, nor will I ever go up in the sky again. I’ve entrusted everything I know to a new generation. I’ll just look on from here. Espada 2 If the Demon Lord hadn’t appeared, our lives might have been different. For me, it wasn’t about flying or ideals. Most of all, it was about him, my flight lead. Our mission was to escort the heavy command cruiser that was to act as transportation for the organization. And the Demon Lord appeared, as if to block our paths. I will never forget his overwhelming power. One by one, my comrades were shot down, and then the mother bird we were supposed to protect. We survived after the fight. We left our organization and returned to the ground together. But…he was heavily wounded. He soon passed away, leaving me behind. We were only able to spend a short time together in peace and quiet. But I don’t blame anyone. The regret and suffering that remained after that battle…were also what he had given me. They’re among the precious few things he left behind. Sorcerer 1 “Demon Lord” was right. Everything he touched fell apart. I thought I was watching magic. When I was in the military, they called me an ace too. I got medals for my actions on numerous battlefields. I’d never felt fear toward an opponent, The same with my ideals. I wasn’t afraid to take on even an entire country. But when I was fighting him, something felt different. At first, I didn’t know what it was. It wasn’t until I noticed my hands shaking on the flight stick that I realized…it was fear. It’s embarrassing, but once I felt that, I couldn’t fly anymore, I felt guilt towards my companions at the time. There’s always a war somewhere and I’m sure he’s on some battlefield somewhere fighting even now. He’ll always have a place to live. Gault 1 "The gate to the new world has been opened. My soul shall be the wind that enters the gate. When the sleeping King awakes, my body, too, shall surely rise." Wizard 1 This darkness and that little window are my entire world now. I’m actually rather fond of it. The darkness envelops me in a borderless world, a world with no boundaries. He was not the reason we were unable to change the world. No matter what the desired outcome is, the world can still change as long as people expand their knowledge and desire change. Today’s world has already changed from what it was back then. Galm 2 I'm still on the battlefield. Right now I'm near a border. I want to see for myself what borders really mean, and what their volition really is... I may not find what I'm looking for, but I still wanna try. Anyway, that's what I've come to believe, and I think that's enough. Will he see this video? If you do meet him, give him a message for me. Yo, Buddy. Still alive? And thanks friend. See you again"

"His presence filled the sky for but a few short month before he dissapeared. Apart from that nothing is known about him. I was never ever to find out what kind of person he really was. But whenever they talked about him, they always had a slight smile on their faces. That, perhaps, maybe the answer."
My Friend passed Away three years Ago. And every time i listen to this Song. it does create a Sad smile on my face. This Song is such a Masterpiece and everytime i listen to this i think its autumm again, the leaves are colored and me and my friend where walking through the Forests of my Hometown. Thank you Buddy, See you again in Another Life.
I'm brand new to the AC series. Zero was the first one my friend recommended I played. And honestly I fell right in love. I always wanted to be a pilot but my motion sickness and astigmatism prevented me, so it was nice to kinda get a chance to have that ultimate fighter pilot fantasy, even if only for a bit.
@Totally not the flash :3 In my country, they create a slogan for this "Pour faire voler nos avions, il faut toute une armée" (in French meaning : To fly our planes, we need a whole army). I like the way they used to tell that a pilot alone can't do a lot of things without mechanics, controllers, engineers and lot of other.
Try project wingman!! its steam only but its the exact same feeling for me. on pc, Ace combat fans don't really have a lot of options but this one is good. edit: its not ace combat (obviously) its the same type of game though, thought I'd clarify
You can overcome motion sickness through familiarity and you can fly with corrective lenses. If you really want to learn you should look into getting an aviation physical exam done to see if your eyesight can be corrected with glasses.
If you want realism there is DCS. That game is definitely your wallet's ultimate enemy but it offers probably the best realism possibile. It has no lore but once you've learned a plane, if you find a good server you'll be doing sick dogfights in no time.
This song alwsys makes me feel that even though I beat the game and won the war, the victories seem hollow with a touch if sadness. War is hell is the feeling that I get.
"War has soldiers with epic skills that we may never come to fully understand" is the vibe I get. I think of famous warriors like Saburo Sakai, Miyamoto Musashi, and in modern times that one Iraqi guy that (supposedly) single-handedly killed hundreds of ISIS soldiers. So many epic warriors in history, and war affected each of them differently. Something is truly lost when those great warriors die, especially the ones that died without an autobiography or without transmitting their insights from war and the near invincibility with which they fought. So many people that I would love to personally meet and interview, but too many of them are centuries dead and buried. As terrible as war is, those that survive the thick of it gain incredible insights, and can teach us all about what it means to be human. What it means when we are in horrific positions of our own making, existing nowhere in nature and yet our minds draw parallels, often inaccurate ones. There is just so much to explore about what it means to be human in war, bad and good.
I understand; few years ago i was make my work in a sunny day in outside. And look up, and see... A KC390 making a refueling in two f5 tigers in low altitud. Just beautiful!
This would be perfect to put at the end of a documentary/docudrama about the Spanish Civil War. The music fits, the whole "you won the war, but at what cost?" kind of vibes, the slow anti-climax until the end of the score.... _Its perfect_
I just finished Ace Combat 0 for the first time. I don't regret a thing. This game is a masterpiece and deserves all the love it gets. And yes buddy, I am still alive.
I will miss Pixy, as well as Cipher. They were two characters that helped me get into this series. I can't wait to see whether or not they return to the game's former self, and make not only great characters, but great music.
Idk why, but sad stories are some of the best (if not the best) kind of stories for this type of games... like, Area 88 is kinda sad but still so cool, and the same goes for ACZ and even PW. they're so awesome, and yet sad in the end... but then, you realize there is still hope, and you will find the will to carry on
I really don't think there is another game out right now that can match Ace Combat Zero in terms of the story, gameplay, and music. It really is in a tier of it's own. A big thanks to everyone involved in the development of this masterpiece.
I hope we get to see some of old Aces in AC7... Whatever happens, I'll always keep Galm Team in mind. Because until I tried AC0, I was still a noob. Galm Team is the real deal.
Apparently there's a chance they will remaster AC5. Small chance, and only speculation at this point, but Namco did a poll on reddit or something about what games people wanted remastered and AC5 got number 1.
kittystarfire rulez I'd be stuck personally. AC5 is my favourite, but Zero is very close. AC5 had a far better story. Zero's story was good, but AC5 was the first game that made me cry about a characters death, and I never thought that would happen to me.
i just love how all of the ace combat games have a slightly different ethnic tune to them. ACZ has elements of latin music, AC5 had tropicana (carribean) elements. Didn't listen or play AC6 as I came from a PS2 background and never had an xbox360, zero had heavy american rock and metal elements to it, etc. it's cool how the team really focuses on a specific ethnic type of music to it in each one.
Zee Kusa I think he meant AH. but 4 kind of had the same feel, if not, 4 had more of the elements of classical music in it from lots of use from violins.

SiN_Fenrir Even though Assault horizon has some heavy rock in it 4 has alot of rock as well Oh yeah i'm pretty sure Air Combat and Ace combat 2 had alot of rock in it too
Zee Kusa ah true true. but most of 4's "thematic" songs were more along the lines of classical themes in my opinion. I should have palyed more of Air combat and AC2 :/
The game is over a decade old, but that last minute still hits me. The game in my opinion is a snapshot of the time it was made, people coming back from war, closing a chapter in their lives, remembering the ones they lost.
For a world building story of Strangereal, it's just so amazing with all those squadron have story tell about the Demon Lord who defined threat and aspiring them when they meet him and at the end, we dance gracefully above skies for that No Boundaries feeling from Border
They need to remaster the whole PS2 trilogy! Zero was the game that got me into this beautiful series. Not just for the gameplay but also for the story and music. I hope they bring Cipher and Pixy back in a later game
"Legends are made not for what they said, they are made for what they have done" This war was fight by unknow and know aces who decided its finish and the fate of every single who fought unsung war and the after that This is the truth behind the belkan war !!
I know most of these comments are quotes from the game but I just wanna say something quick, I think they nailed the soundtrack for Zero!, the Spanish guitar, I think it's flamenco or malagueña, I'm not sure but it fits well and I love it, anyways this is beautiful! All the feels man.. All the feels.. *sigh* I really want an AC Zero Remake
Reaperzzz678 No, because Pixy was infantry just around the time most people believe that Operation Katina took place, mid-to-late 2005. Therefore it's possible he fought in the 2nd USEAn Continental War, but most likely on the ground. A lot of people think Cipher is Mobius 1, though.
+TheAbenas123 well razgriz is 100% comming back in ace combat 7 and probably mobious, but the chances of seeing galm again are very low because he ''vanished'' and none knows were he is :(
I always had a special place in my heart for this song, It capped of a wonderful game with a somber, beautiful swan song. To me, the title respresents the border between life and death. 10/10
I just beat this game a few months back, during June, and this game has refused to leave my mind since; it's truly unforgettable. I hope that somehow this game can see the light of day again, because it totally deserves it
This spain instrumental song, is one of the reason why i'm still struggle to learn playing guitar "Yo, Buddy. Still play guitar?" ps. Thank you, buddy, for upload all of Ace Combat Nol, 5 and Shattered Skies soundtracks. Yo, Buddy... Stay Healthy 😉🤙
The premise of this game's story sounds like a joke if you try to summarize it - The nameless protagonist is an ace pilot who beats his enemy pilots so badly that they all developed PTSD after they ejected out of the sky. But in a stroke of genius, this game went straight-face, dead-serious on the PTSD aspect, structuring cutscenes like interviews for a war documentary, filming live-action performances and bookending the entire story with a somber musical piece that completely contrasts with the bombastic action of the gameplay, it sold its premise.
You know how Espada 2, Marcella, felt when she lost her flight lead. She was inlove to that guy. She reminds me of myself, i.. lost someone meant to me, but i havent even confessed to her On the part where the opera voice came, i cried, feeling the pain in my heart. Knowing she wouldnt come back no matter how i grieved, cried...and even hurting myself. Right now i have multiple scars.. mental scars, and its killing me slowly Edit: I will be going to the Electrosphere tonight.. i hope i may find happiness, and her... Edit, 2..: Fuck i cant... I cant i cant i cant i cant! Edit 3: fucking bastard faked her death, FUCKING IDIOT!
Stay strong, buddy. The time will come when you can move on to brighter horizons. Have faith in yourself and your ability to heal. The time will come when you can get out there and find a new wingman.. I have faith in you!
This is a fusion genre. As far as I know no mainstream song has ever mix this particular music where latin choir and orchestra are incorporated into a flamenco type music. In regard to your question, fusion flamenco is your best bet, though it mainly fused with jazz
Anybody know why this is missing from the iTunes version of the soundtrack? From what I can tell, nothing from 5 or 6 is missing from those soundtracks, but Zero is just missing stuff.
@@theghostanihalater9391 it's obvious he'll die, he mentioned family related/raised red flags multiple times. The more the higher chance you'd die in war doing so
The reason is that game director wanted to change focus to much more personal interaction between aces. That's why he asked composer to add some spanish guitar to soundtrack, to emphasize that "knight duels" spirit.
Hmmm. I agree Zero is one of the best soundtracks in any medium, but the best AC ost award has to go to 7. 7 is much more consistent throughout all it’s tracks, but it doesn’t quite reach the heights Zero does. Still, zero was a product of its time/budget and if the devs ever get around to remaking it, my opinion would probably change.
