SP Mission 03: Ten Million Relief Plan - Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown DLC 

25:00 - Where were you when the goddamn Libertarian Party straight up ripped David's speech: i.imgur.com/ZqubLWH.png?1

Most spicy reveal: Long Caster eats burgers with knife and fork.

Torres: Oh? You're approaching us? Instead of running away you're flying straight to the Alicorn? Trigger: I can't trample on your bed sheets without getting closer.

The hunt for Alicorn is short enought yet at the same intense enough to actually be a viable material for an AC film, to be honest.

The moment the Alicorn surfaces I can just hear the “It’s time!” line echo at the back of my head

Count can tell a con man's routine? Well, I guess it takes one to know one

My theory is that Long Caster's knife and fork are for a completely separate steak that he's ben trying to nibble on in secret for the whole mission.

This is it, the end of the line And perhaps the end for Ace Combat 7's life cycle If it does, I'm glad we're here for the ride, wasn't a smooth ride I'll admit, but I'm glad this franchise could make one last hurrah before the decade closes

24:29 Uh...did the men on that AEGIS destroyer just get soaked in a nuclear rain, the likes of which make the ships at Bikini Atoll blush?

That was amazing, especially the speech at the end. It gave me memories of razgriz and the demon lord.

Is it me? Or was Armin Taylor having a blast voicing Torres? XD He sounds like he's enjoying himself a tad too much Go figure, being he's also the voice of Kirei Kotomine in a Fate Extra Last Encore, alongside Greg Chun

Wonder if Jaeger have told his son yet.

The soundtrack that plays in the beginning is called "The UAV Factory" and all the talk of dead heroes is evocative of Mihaly, the drones with his data aren't living, but its like having hundreds of obedient 'heroes' at your disposal.

"Everyone's is in this mission except me"- Wiseman *Fencer is nowhere to be seen*

I think my favorite thing about Torres is how he just starts his psychotic laughter right before the _Alicorn_ explodes and gets cut off immediately. The man went down laughing like the mad murderous bastard he was. Chills.

Oh my god. That was one hell of a ride. ... Kono, you madman. You and your team have delivered a masterpiece.

These DLC missions are exemplary of the best ace combat has to offer. I hope the next iteration carries this momentum.

2:40 Oured scene of ace combat 5

Aside from the escort phase being needlessly frustrating, this was an extremely good ending to the SP mission trilogy

It feels like this mission is more a cinematic ending for this trilogy

12:57 "It'd be so much easier if they'd sing and let us hear them" You're a long way from Tipperary, boy.

Alicorn the best way to send Pastel de Belem by railgun for long distances.

Small touch at the very end but it's nice that we get some names, dates, and locations for Osean operations elsewhere in Usea.

Gotta admit... that 'poetry' at the end sure gave me chill whenever I heard it; countless times I've rewatched it and the final _conclusion_ and still I don't get bored.

Welp, nothing left to do but wait until the next installment I guess. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"So they murder him." Me: *gulp*! Uh. I sure hope thats not why Cipher suddenly dissapeared...

This series of DLC missions really were fantastic, from new gameplay mechanics to the intense fights with the Mimics and the Alicorn itself. The score was also spot on, especially in Ten Million Relief Plan. Dare I say, Ten Million Relief Plan’s score is just as good as Daredevil. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this DLC content, and while it’s unlikely, I hope for more Ace Combat 7 content in the future.

i havent played this dlc yet but you just made me buy it, seems like shit tons of fun. also , man i really enjoyed the cast this time around, especially count, he grew so much over the course of the game, hes best boy confirmed.

Damn, was sure one of the twins would turn up in a new super plane

I know long- i mean lunch caster needs to keep his hands free and clean for his job but _WHY YOU EATIN A BURGER WITH A KINFE AND FORK_

XD, literally everyone got mad at wiseman for saying that their next mission is coming (Ps, torres disliked the vid.)

Hopefully we will get sp missions for the 444th

Can't wait to see you get the high score on this mission

Still haven’t beat this mission! It’s so amazingly put together but even as someone who S ranked every ace mission even the other special missions up to now..... it’s insane and I love it, a true final test

Oh! You used the Gripen the first time too? I love that plane, it is so small and cute. Each of these missions I played first in the Gripen on hard, then went back in with my SU-57 to tear them up on Ace.

25:43 This line shows you that it's definitely not an American dev. Eating a burger with a knife and fork, disgraceful.

Now, THIS!!! is how you should make a DLC, badass content that worths every dollar for these missions.

That was quite the conclusion there! I am not without my gripes regarding this mission, especially how... easy it could be (But then again, makes sense LACMs would shit on the Alicorn), but man, that scenery is gorgeous, and the music is great indeed!

That one amazing moments when you can save all the patrol aircraft, and there's a line for it

This game is truly a masterpiece I want those maps for multiplayer I know they have plans for the next title but I honestly want them to expand on this more like new maps preferably the nostalgic maps from the older series and some of the older planes as well I got this game on my birthday back in February. Ace combat 7 and the holy trinity are my favorites of the franchise as well as the others too I hope they expand on this game more I really do

It has finally come

Alright, it took me 4 hours of rage to finally sink the damn thing, cant wait to see you put my performance to shame without even trying.

I have seen a lot of people play these games, but you are by far the best I have ever seen. Have you ever heard of or played a game called HAWX? If you haven't played it, I would love to see you go through that.

now that the alicorn is gone, trigger and the squad will head to capture erusean base and prepare there for the assault on farbanti

Interesting finale Ace 7's SP missions. Alicorn's captain was completely delusional, and his sub went out with with a bang in the water for it. See you in the next Aces.

This mission happened on september 14th. In SP1 david north asks "how can we do this without killing three strikes?"... on september 19th. Unless PA simply made a mistake, I feel like we still have more stuff coming.

Now we gotta pray and wait for next season pass....

So hyped

26:27 "Alright everyone, say your catchphrases all at the *exact same time.*"

While I can agree that the plot threads are kind all over the place and we won't likely see them resolved without additional DLC, I think with a little imagination and extrapolation, we can see some of the motivations and how they set things up for the future of the Strangereal environment. -Aside from the insanity brought about by two years stuck underwater, we only have intel to go on that suggested that Alicorn was trapped underwater for two years. Even taking the suggestion of user on this comment thread that the crew would've augmented their food stocks with the dead (another possible contribution to the insanity), even that large a submarine with a 300+ crew couldn't have the food stocks available to sustain that presence, even with oxygen cracking from the water and desalination to be submerged that long. This suggests to me the ship wasn't exactly marooned underwater, but was operating independently this whole time, either as an asset to the radical Erusean faction that kicked off the Lighthouse War, or as part of a not-yet-ID'd non-state entity like AC0's A World With No Boundaries. -Even a small-scale nuclear attack, despite the comparatively low death count, would have major socioeconomic consequences for the recipient. IRL, if a Hiroshima-grade nuke was dropped on Washington, DC, the number of estimated severe burn victims would overwhelm every burn unit in every hospital across the United States. Maybe inspired by the example of Belka in AC5, Torres thought a single nuke on Oured would be enough to make the Osean government immediately sue for peace, and in his own warped mind, result in permanent disarmament of all armed forces. -Eliminating or sidelining Trigger at this point in the story also makes sense. His exoneration in the matter of assassinating Harling has not yet been revealed, so it's a political liability that one of the most infamous criminals in the Osean military is now spearheading its push to victory. If Trigger helps take Farbanti, it would be unacceptable in the eyes of some senior military officials, and aside from getting him killed, if it can be demonstrated that he wasn't necessary to the operation's success, they can order him to stand down, and quietly downplay his contributions to the war effort, maybe even get him back in the stockade. Maybe from the moment circumstances pushed him into the LRSSG, Osean military officials were quietly working on a backup plan to bring him down, no matter what. -Related to the above and below points, it is possible that there were those in the Osean military who didn't believe that Trigger actually killed Harling, but to come out and say it would cast severe doubts on the integrity of Osea's fancy satellite-based IFF system, and someone decided that the injustice against one pilot was a lower cost than dismantling/modifying a expensive and essential element of Osean warfare doctrine. Might make some of the attempts to drop him from his own side more sensible, since if he lives for the truth to come out, there's a lot of high-ranking officials who are going to have their crimes revealed. -As far as the Brigadier General being a traitor, it wouldn't be entirely out of the question. AC5 already demonstrated that the Osean military ranks were surprisingly easy to infiltrate for foreign assets-Bartlett and Pops being positive examples, the 8492nd Squadron and the Sand Island adjutant (name escapes me ATM) being negative ones (my money's also on the hardliner Vice-President from the same game, pushing for an escalation of the war). Maybe they were Belkan or pro-War Osean who kept a lower profile after the end of the War, quietly getting into a position of power for the next one. Maybe it'll come out that alongside the 444th for convicts, there was also a black ops squadron whose specialty was weaponizing anime tropes like psychotic close-knit sibling pilots. Either way, I hope the next DLC mission pack extrapolates on that more. It could turn out he was just a patsy whose hunger for glory and clout led him to embrace unreliable intel contacts, plus the Trigger-killer plans. -Related to the above, we see a more blatant attitude on both sides in this game where high-ranking officials are willing to break with their political leaders for their own ends, and that patriotism/nation-state politics are beginning to give way. Maybe between now and 2050, certain large military contractors are going to get these rogue elements under their patronage and potentially redraw the lines of power across the planet? Hmmm... 🤔 -And of course, an apparently Turing-test-capable strong AI with Internet connectivity being used to predict/simulate the outcome of a conflict? Surely that will never happen in Strangereal's future, right? Right? IMO, the main weakness of some of the story beats in AC7 (mainline and DLC) is that unless you've played AC2 and AC3: Electrosphere, it's hard to extrapolate these dangling plot threads and decide what the hell exactly was going on. And even then, Project ACES seem to be trying to promote drawing your own conclusions on the plot, tying in with AC7's overall themes on perspective, the fog of war even in a technological age (or ESPECIALLY because of technology), and the commoditization of elite soldiers/pilots who can singlehandedly influence the battlefield (Mihaly's flying to train Belkan UAV AI was giving me strong Sons of Big Boss/Les Enfant Terribles vibes, to pull from another gaming universe). It's a more ambiguous story than prior AC entries, but I personally believe that if you're willing to use your imagination a bit, there's a lot of richness in there.

Nice

laugh is the finally word

*DoN't YoU sEe!?* *HahaAhaHa!!* - famous last words of Capt. M. Torres.

Crude, but effective

My current best score is 58850, but I imagine that would be child's play for you, right? I mean I could try raise that if I let the timer tick down and just keep shooting the SLUAVs, but I don't do that

I hope there will be another season of DLC ;_;

I don't think antisubmarine warfare techniques have been depicted with this detail in Ace Combat before. (4:20) 11:30 18:08 23:13 F.

David North reminds me of Harry-Rainbowsix director smh

Fullband said "Stick with Trigger and you'll make it", and damn is true

How do play this spicial mission?I mean we do not have this mission or anothers in our game

That searcher similar in Ace Combat 5

Is it me or parts of the bgm of TMRP phase 1 reminds me of AC04's Blockade

Nothing showing up for the PS4 for some reason

Wait a minute, didn't this vid have a stream chat?

Just a small request for a future playthrough of this mission: would you please replace the music with the OSTs used in the Hrimfaxi and Scinfaxi missions? Maybe have Trigger cosplay as Blaze too (or Blaze hijacking Trigger's spot to teach the old man (the 'Faxi-class sub) one last lesson)?

There is! Alicorn! It's time for you to admit you lost!

just like the hrimfaxi

It was epic. It is similar to what happened in Ace Combat 5. Using the Gripen E is brillant idea. But that doesn't change the fact that the biggest tragedy in the history of Ace Combat has been prevented. How do you sum up all three missions? In a word: they are interesting. Although it is a bit unsatisfied with the inability to fly EA-18G, MIG-29K or receive new skins for Rafale M and Su-47. Time will show how Project Aces will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ace Combat series and sustain interest in AC7. You can add CFA-44 or XFA-27, but fighters from our world or Tornado, F-16F, F-16 Block 70/72, Su-27, Su-24, Su-25, the whole family of MiG-29 fighters, Rafale, Gripen (C/D/F/EW/M), Typhoon, F-15SE, F-35A, F-35B as well as unrealized projects in the form of F-15N, FB-22, F-22B and F-22N are the best for the AC world.

This D L C Is definitely something l tell my son about

Also what’s the track starting at 21:17 ?

Hey, I destroyed the Alicorn!! *look at my name MATIAS Torres: TRAITOR!!! The damm bastard ruined it. Alicorn Crew(AC): Captain? MATIAS Torres: Dont you see?... HE WALKED ALL OVER WITH HIS DIRTY BOOTS, OVER THE CRISP WHITE SHEETS OF MY BED THAT I JUST MADE!!!

1. So this is what Trigger and his colleagues did before midnight mission for capturing Erusea's airfield on September 16. 2. Unfortunately, that computer is about to be shut down; due to worldwide telecommunications disruption. 3. Don't you see, Captain Torres? This is the salvation for you!

Follow Tuga and you’ll make it!

I find the story in the DLC missions arcs to be better than the main game tbh.

I'm having some difficulty doing this mission on Ace.

So far I only reached to rank A, wish me luck!

I came here after watching Zap's gameplay and he just barely made it, literally had 2 seconds left on the clock when he sunk the Alicorn.

Meanwhile, I tried this mission with PLSL. Alicorn was an absolute nightmare with its railguns, jammer and those bubble shields. Made it tho

Still no CFA-44 :( it'd be so fun in all three DLC missions

I have zero patience for this mission I haven't defeated it on any setting

Literally only one thing all the dlc missed imo, I wish we got to alongside Mage and golem on le more time

I thought Torres was goes to fire on the 19th not the 14th

i'm waiting till my birthday to play this

Torres’ voice sounds like an insane Markiplier. Just close your eyes and listen. *DON’T YOU SEE!?*

Tuga when are you doing AC0 in real time

0:25 does this mean Mobuis 1, Blaze, Cipher, Phoenix, Griphus 1 and all of the heroes (including Matias Torres alias SALVATION man XD) were murdered?

Hey does anybody kn if there is a way to change skins in the story mode of ac7

100 lives just lost...

Wait a minute, is this mission meant to be speedrun (and grab as many enemies as you can while you're at it of course) rather than high scored? I know I'm not AS good as Tuga but geez, 90k and still no S? And this was on Normal difficulty. Oof. Edit: As Yayo mentioned, this is "perhaps the end for AC7's life cycle", give or take the extra few skins coming out. If that's the case, I hope enough of us bought the game to warrant an AC8. And I can dream of having co-op multi in AC8 like in Infinity, right?...

So.... Osea Vs Sub-marine Aircraft carrier... 3:0

THIS IS THE BEST WEAPON FOR ALICORN BECOUSE DE NEW DLC WEAPONS FROM AIRCRAFTS ADF 11 AND ADFR RAVEN NO SENSE HERE WHITH ALICORN, BUT LACM IS THE BEST WEAPON FOR ALICORN , WHICH LEVEL YOU COMPLETED? ACE OR HARD?

Is this out for PS4 yet?

ok can someone tell me why torres wanted to kill 1 million people to save ten million. how does that even work

*everybody gangsta until the sea starts speaking Latin*

Aaaaahhhh fhooie, ya killed it too quickly Ya didnt get to enjoy the fight, unless you did this on a replay

I was kinda hoping that the shot actually hit the city. It would make the story so much more interesting.

This sounds like Blockade

Missing all those juicy dialogue lines by using cruise missiles. You disgust me, you speedrunner. :P

Trigger is a Ranger cuz Rangers lead the way :))

Ironically, DLC missions are twice ACE Combat 7 than the ACE Combat 7 itself.
