Zero (Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War) - GaMetal Remix

[@crimson3540]

What I expected from Ace Combat Zero: TOP GUN 'Merica Flight Simulator 2006 What I got: The medieval roundtable but it's fighter jets The death star but it's a one-kilometer sized sword Jousting but it's fighter jets Missile alerts The classic evil intentions of cleansing the world and trusting it to the next generation Flamenco-style guitars on every single mission Lots of snow Buddi

Definitely my favorite but there are some that come close. "Fight with Seymour" from FFX. "Cyberdemon" from Doom 2016. "Saturos theme" from Golden Sun. "Final Battle" from Shadow of the Collosus.

Megalith was really cool, that moment with the birds and the lasers while it starts playing is even Keiki's favourite. But Zero really does stand out to me on a fundamental level, loving the "Sapinish" guitar since I was young.

Additionally, and its canon, prior to Pixy's defection the antagonist nation (Belka) pulled a last stand deperation move/declaration... by nuking themselves in 7 locations making a makeshift visible border between te allied coalition of fighter/Mercenary forces and Belka. The entire reason for the war? Basically Seller's remorse over precious metals used for making aircraft.

Vincent Salinas-Piper which when combined with belka’s inlfluence on the wars since, especially regarding the zone of endless project and the constant devolopment of super weapons like the railgun from 6 to lead to more repurcussions. It caused what was originally a resource conflict gave way to the destruction of civilized government as we know it as 2 warring megacorps secretly control the world robocop style and will stop at nothing to see the other one gone from the picture for the sake of world domination.

As a years-long fan of the series, I'm both glad you finally did this song, and also pleasantly surprised you did it right - I've seen a few remixes that underplay the chorus and remove the acoustic guitar altogether, which utterly destroys the feel of the song. Good job, that was excellent.

[@luckyluks549]

No massive mech to destroy. No "you VS a whole enemy squad". The last battle in this game was an epic 1v1 dogfight in which you had to rush against each other, and the only way to deal demage was to attack the front, while dodging that one-hit kill laser, with this absolutely epic theme playing in the background.
