The bits of news broadcast add so much to the very dire and tense feeling of this mission. Easily my favorite in the game

[@skytheannur6168]

This was beautiful, and just the pure nostalgia makes it all the more memorable. Also the amount of times of me crashing into the ground as a kid is too numerous to count.

[@Nassault]

Me too! I always went to take out the two lone rocket launchers and helo across the bay to the southwest before engaging targets near New City and Old Towne. Such a great mission!

[@Krystalmyth]

I get weird looks as a girl when I say I've played all the Ace Combat games (in the main series)~ and they figure I'm just into war games, and I tell them it's because of all the love in it, and the emotions it carries in its music and the passion behind every stage, the message and feeling it wants to convey and how difficult it is to find literally anywhere else in the world. That's probably where the weird looks come from, now that I think about it. Heh.... This is why you should never take "I love you" for granted. Not everyone is going to get 'why' they do no matter what you say, or how well you say it. But they do.

[@Nassault]

Definitely an emotional series! I remember Id listen to Zero on the bus in the morning to start my day off with the feels

[@alexfranz817]

I bought myself a working PS2 for Christmas just to play this game again. And now as an adult I can see the design behind how they played your emotions to the music.

[@serenity4330]

The series is amazing and I do expect more of the series before I pass. There's all sorts of weight to carry In each game. Like losing allies or showing the enemies can be humans. It can be a emotional Rollercoaster.

[@dieyproductions4403]

Without the atmosphere, the music, the artistic scenes, the story and the voice acting, it would be an just arcade game like many others. Those are all together make most of Ace Combat games incredibly unique. Pieces of fine art.

[@Alex_Guy1011]

@@Nassault There's this one thing that i've just always wanted to ask you. Does Ace Combat 4 have a lot of unused content or radio traffic quotes from all of the game's missions? For example: "The resistance will end the blackout any minute now. That'll be our signal." Was this intended to actually be part of some pre-mission cutscene like the one you've made in your video?

これもまた味のある動画。 あの苦戦させられたミッションをこうやって観れるとか最高。

[@Battlemage15]

Mobius One with the maneuver and flare save on Omega 10 got me hyped and brought tears to my eyes. The fact it was followed by a full on evasive maneuver-laden charge into a missile swarm from Yellow Squadron that broke their formation was insane. His F-15C screaming 'Over-G', that he didn't flare for that move (maybe he was out - used flares 4 times I think?) and the noise of the switch from missile to gun were nice touches. As the top comment states; you made Mobius One both realistic and a god at the same time. Saving fellow pilots and then engaging the enemy's finest without hesitation, head on, better illustrates the source of Modius One's legend than any S-rank kill sheet. The SSN Breaking News overlay for a moment really added to the atmosphere of the news cast. Tells you some people were watching this go down on TV. The shots of the city at night, the broadcast and the anti-air assets on the ground really gave it shades of the beginning of the Gulf War and that first night in Baghdad (which was probably the partial inspiration for the mission as well). That SAM coming up on the black and white thermal gives chills. So does the searchlights coming on and the distant air raid siren. Loved the Namco sign after the shoot down of Black 9, btw. I discovered your channel with a random recommendation from KZbin for your B7R video (which was excellent by the way) and when I went to your channel I saw this was the latest upload and had to watch; one of my favorite missions from the game. Excellent work. Better visual storytelling than most films coming out in theaters with multi-million dollar budgets these days.

[@mistermcdingus1728]

Nicely stated, dude. Its great to see someone with real talent to make a genuine film that’s impossible to be cynical about. It really made my day discovering his videos.

[@kamikaze9576]

As i play 4 and Zero more and more, i feel a whole new appreciation of Emancipation and Diapason mission. Everytime i flies above the skies of these two cities just evokes a feeling that you are truly a part in these and exihilaration to achieve this. When I play these two mission, my imagination runs wild picturing the people on the ground how elated and spirited they are to grab the chance of liberation. Rewatching Dunkirk, the soldiers cheering as the Spitfire piloted by Tom Hardy felled down the Sturka bomber in front of the stranded soldiers is what i like to imagine how those people of San Salvacion and Directus reacted to when Mobius 1 and Cipher flies by. LOL Hopefully we get Diapason from you in the future, Avarik's Ace Thunder Zero Diapason is quite nice but it is only halfway through.

@@Nassault Yeah, that's so true, it added a great deal of immersion. Back then hearing something on the news had a real weight to it. News were from the world of our parents.

[@SonofOrion42]

This is easily your best one yet. The shot of Mobius 1 charging the entire Yellow formation head-on, blowing all of his flares to spoof every single missile... it blew my fucking mind.

[@Nassault]

Thanks SonofOrion! If DCS has taught me anything it's that the F-15C is practically a flare factory lol, whereas the M-2000C caries something like 18 or 20 flares it feels almost like spamming with the F-15C.

[@nathanlennox6056]

That was amazing man. The overall somber and realistic vibe Ace Combat 4 has, apparently naturally works well with stuff like this. In all of the other games, they go out of there way to make you feel "legendary", but Ace Combat 4 does so well at making you feel like "just another fighter pilot", you're just really damn good at it, and everybody starts to notice it. Because of this I think the player naturally feels more involved and immersed as Mobius 1. We don't get interviews of enemy pilots telling us how unbelievably skilled we were, and we don't have it constantly thrown in our face that we're saving the world and we are doing the right thing along with a bunch of characters all banding together to support anti-war and we fly as their pilots to deliver this, going as far as to call us a heroic entity from a storybook. In 4, you're just a fighter pilot and your effect on the war is almost entirely shown in real time by the missions taken and radio charter from both your comrades and enemies (save for a few cutscenes about, literally, just a boy lost in the war who hears about you occasionally). Anyways, awesome work, man! You did great with the whole Ace Combat 4 vibe I ranted about, regardless! The ending was an especially good touch, reinforcing exactly the vibe I wss referencing haha can't wait for the next one!
