[@Chronostra]

I really would like an ace combat title where the past aces/heroes' fate are explained. The closest of that is the presence of Mobius 1 on AC5 (I think it's canon right?) and...... Mihaly's dialogue "There are pilots like you in every generation. And I felled every last one of them."......where I think he killed Chiper, Blaze, Talisman and Mobius 1 as Mihaly is the mentor of Yellow 13 and a veteran himself, I really would like to think that he would chase Mobius 1 to avenge Yellow 13. As for the other aces, he's been in the military since before the event of ACZ so it's possible the aces encounter him off screen.... as unsatisfying as it is. *crying in the corner

[@drumjod]

​@@wardog0086 The amazing music pushed me over the edge to buy the game full price on Steam. I haven't played this genre since that 90's game designed by the Star Citizen creator. I'm enjoying it so far - especially after learning I could do a "High-G Turn" by holding L2+R2 in the second mission. I first discovered these musicians through their rendition of "Corridors of Time", which is as good as the original plus seeing each sound expertly performed. I'm always trying to find new beautiful songs I've not heard yet. What do you think about this metal version of 'Africa'? kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3mcd6yCqMt3sNk.

[@combativeThinker]

If you loved this, you'll love "Zero" from _Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War_ and "Razgriz" from _Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War._

[@joshangrian]

Bryan Merrill did you mean “The Unsung War” from Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War? The last song in the game is called by the title, not by “Razgriz.” Although, I’m sure if you search “Razgriz theme” online, it’ll pop up.
