[@zjuraeventide8949]

To be fair they were able to completely reduce an invading force before the nimbus missles forced a retreat. That's more than you could say for most other airforces in Ace Combat.

When I first played this game and saw the beginning cutscene I thought, "Oh is our character married to this woman? And with a child too? I like the change in pace." When I finished the the game throughout, all I could think of was "well what the fuck was the point of these characters? We never met the husband of Melissa and the father of Matilda nor was he even really mentioned in gameplay." They seemed to throw these characters in all for the disappointing minor role in the final mission. And they never made any attempt to give these characters some sort of role in the actual plotline. Garuda was only really mentioned once or twice in the cutscenes and not even by our "main characters." If you can even call them that.. I don't mean to sound triggered or rant, but I mean... come the fuck on Namco, you're better than that. ANYWAYS.... I'm done with that.. carry on. 😌

Pretty sure one of the Garuda took his place Viking style after killing whoemver shot him down.
