Reclaim… The Ones you Love… The Will to Fight… The Place called Home…

[@CrusaderStudios]

The reason why this theme works so well is because it truly feels like the soul of a city rising up to repel against a foreign invader. The immense feeling of hope and resilience emanating from the main theme drop is STRONG. A city held hostage from a hostile force finds the courage to help their soldiers and pilots bring the fight to the enemy; all for the sake of their friends, family, and children. Yeah, im thinking BASED

[@Orfeous_Writer]

Couldn't have said it better myself. AC6 has always been my favourite of the series and it honestly has to do with the themes behind the story. I do feel like some of the other games have better moment-to-moment story beats, but that overarching theme of being brought rock-bottom only to slowly claw your way back up to the top can't be beat. Project Aces made the game feel like everyone was in on the fight, from the military down to a freaking radio station. This track encapsulates all that and more.

AC6 was my first AC game, it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

[@Balnazzardi]

Same to me...never even played any other game's of the same genre before but it definitely made me want play more Ace Combat games at some point. I would even gladly buy remastered versions of the older games

[@Cipher-no6my]

My first was AC7 but the music makes me feel like I’ve played it. A damn testament to the work done over at Project Aces.

[@BoomVtubeCh]

My first game is AC7 but AC6 is the one that introduces me to ace combat universe.

[@AndreYAkbar]

i started with AC3 - Electrosphere.... i was hooked ever since. Not all AC series,tho..... AC3-Electrosphere, AC4-Shattered Skies, AC5-Unsung War,AC Zero: The Belkan War, AC7-Skies Unknown. Sadly, I skipped AC6 cuz I don't have an Xbox... :( tracks from those series are gold mine.

[@Epic24123]

@@Cipher-no6my I played the first few levels of AC6 when I was a little kid, barely understanding anything beyond "shoot estovokians." The old Xbox 360 I had it on got replaced with a newer Xbox 1 which didn't support the disk at the time, so I lost the copy. However, though I had forgotten the name, memories of playing AC6 stuck with me, long enough for me to see AC7 and vaguely recall playing something like it... which led me to try it out myself. One of the first full-length games I ever completed.

I'll never forget that mission in where all the pilots you saved came out of the wood work to save your butt and all the friendlies starting to light up on your radar all along with this song kicking in....you definitely captured that epic moment and made this song that much more bad ass! Thank you!!!

[@Razgriz_01]

That mission was awesome. Just having a swarm of hostile jets chasing you, missile alarm going off left and right, and then all of a sudden, the entire friendly air-force show up just to save your ass. Amazing moment.

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

Your talking about mission 12 "WMD" Where all your allies come in to save your backside which i do admit it was epic.

[@BratislavMetulski]

you never saved those pilots 😂

[@nathanapplegate5374]

Oh that’s the mission right before this. You destroy the catalyst and start flying back with half of the estovakian Air Force hot on your tail. Then the other half shows up in front of you, forcing you to fight your way out. In the midst of all this, Windhover comes over the radio to say “Garuda Team come in, we’ve come for you.” The music changes to the Invasion theme, your allied support bar goes to full, and you see all of your other wingmen arriving to what is to become the biggest dogfight in Ace Combat history.

"Dragon Busters are close to the capitol building, we're gonna bust open the stronghold *give us cover* !" "We can't pull out until our work is done here, keep up the attacks!" "Our enemies at sea have been destroyed! Marigold, start moving into the bay!" Honestly, I think what makes this work is that you mostly focused on enhancing what was there by adding to it - the ethereal choir (particularly around 5:05 under the trumpet solo), the hammering of the drums like its distant mortar and cannon fire as Garuda is flying to the next ops zone like 5:40, combined with going ham with the forte sections with more fuller-sounding instrumentation like what sounds like swapping out the trumpet for a tuba (IE, at around 4:03 or 6:00 ) It *almost* makes you pity those poor Stovie bastards on the wrong end of history :D

[@ianmarkham8824]

Liberation was what played when Talisman fought the Estovakians over Gracemeria. This sounds like something that would play if Talisman fought an existential threat over Gracemeria Ah - The Salvation of Gracemeria. I think that would be a fitting title.

Would be, but c'mon we know how AC fans are.

I’ve never played Ac6, but I want to play it after listening to this song.

[@Balnazzardi]

You definitely should :) I just recently played it for first time and its still good game even though its more than 15 years old. The hardest part is just to get physical copy, as it doesnt exist as digital release, but the good news is that its backwards compatible with Xbox One And Xbox Series X/S. But good place to look for that used Xbox 360 copy of the game is ebay or similar site. Really liked the mission design, though the campaign could be bit longer. Soundtrack was ofc excellent.
