The scary thing about the AC4 soundtrack is how each song almost perfectly matches the mood and tone of the mission it is created for. I have never seen it done this well in any medium.

[@VonHellsverg]

More like every Ace combat game ever

[@notJafar]

I think it's more accurate for the most part to say that it set or created the mood and tones for each mission. Try playing it without the background music or you could try switching and mixmatching the BGM with the missions to see differences or similarities in the effects.

[@tubeloobs]

Check out Invincible Fleet for instance. An assault on a naval fleet and the music is constantly punctuated by a sonar pulse. Or how about Tango Line where you're fighting above a dense jungle with a tribal sounding track for accompaniment.

[@notJafar]

Interesting. What did you get out of the other stages of BGM?

I remember the last time I played this mission vividly. 7 Years ago, I was doing another ace difficulty run and I had taken everyone but yellow 13 out. On this difficulty he took about 5 missiles to shoot down and I remember as I got the last off on him and he looped back around above me. Both of our cockpits were facing each other and it felt like time slowed to a crawl right before the missile made contact. It was like the two of us shared a moment only 2 opponents could share before his plane burnt up, it was poetic.

Yeah, Megalith feels tacked on. It's a fun mission, don't get me wrong. But atmosphere wise, it doesn't gel. The war is over, Yellow 13 is dead, but then a few snots decide to make a last stand in their superweapon because they're poor losers. After all the talk of honor and all of those missions helping your boys on the ground, the final mission winds up being a mop-up. It feels liked an added on climax that doesn't fit.

This song had excellent pacing and tone. It assured that you were on the side of the victors nearing the closure of a great conflict.

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

I think I've figured out why this plays during Siege of Farbanti's mission update instead of Aquila. By the end of the war, ISAF is no longer afraid of Yellow Squadron. Mobius 1 is no longer afraid. He and Yellow 13 have found a rival in one another - Dare I say, opposite sides of the same coin. The final battle with the _real_ Yellow Squadron is always an emotional one for me, because it means bringing to close a tale of two aces - Erusea's gentleman ace, and ISAF's ribbon fighter.

[@jobie2406]

The game itself seemed so realistic and enveloping, it is BY FAR one of my favorite video games, although I didn't care much about the storyline, just the mission briefs.

Jobie Same. My copy of Ace Combat 4 originally belonged to my friend. He and his brother were stuck on mission 2, Imminent Threat. When I came over, I managed to get to Lifeline, mission 5. I then asked if I could borrow the game to play, and they said yes. I managed to beat the whole game and unlock the X-02 during the time I borrowed the game. At that point, my friend basically told me “you know what, keep it.” Ah, good memories.

[@LouseGrouse]

I once flew head on at the yellows and launched all 4 XMAAs at Yellow 13 (I presumed he was the guy at the head of the formation). I flew through the awesome fireball... It was glorious... Then another time one yellow glitched out and flew outside the border. So I had to fly alongside him until he decided to fly back in again... It was really weird...

[@compmanio36]

+The LouseGrouse The enemies have no border restrictions (and the map continues past the artificial border) so they can do this. It's by design, if unfair. You see it a lot more in AC5, to the point of frustration in several missions where your target is literally beyond your reach, and they seemingly do it on purpose to break your target lock.

[@LouseGrouse]

That was the only time I'd ever seen it, I haven't seen it in 5 yet. Also I was in the middle of the map when it happened, and the yellow just beelined to the map border, before I had the chance to lock missiles. So yeah. Quite the weird situation. Thanks for the info :D

[@compmanio36]

The ace enemies have that little trick up their sleeves, never seen them beeline for the edge of the map....usually it's if you're already close to the edge of the map, they'll fly out as part of the evasion AI they have to dodge your missiles to force you to use guns. Watching a video on AC Infinity and it looks like they do the same thing there. Good to know the same AI from AC4 is being used over a decade later.

[@LouseGrouse]

Yeah, the programming of the Yellows and aces was *really* well done.

[@Mobius118]

I really despise that Ace Combat 7 ruined the look of both Anchorhead and Farbanti, the latter being the most egregious error. The submerged district is completely different, with buildings being placed unrealistically close to the meteor’s impact crater. Additionally, the crater is now partially above the water rather than lurking ominously just below the surface. You have to play by your own rules.. a city’s overall layout should remain the same rather than changing dramatically from game to game

[@geekedup9534]

This better play at my funeral or I’m not showing up

[@Masterwar15]

Besides Megalith Agnus Dei this is definitely my favorite song of the game, maybe on the same level, since it plays when you finally get to fight Yellow 13 himself. I like to think the last Yellow you fight in this mission is him because it was definitely the harder to kill, we traded direct machinegun and missile shots upfront almost colliding with eachother multiple times while this song was blasting.

canonically, Yellow 13 was trained by Mihaly before the Continental War... during which time their aircraft touched mid-air on three separate occasions... twice it was 13's fault, resulting in only grazing each other, and the third it was Mihaly's fault when he imitated 13's maneuver and gave him a taste of his own medicine.
