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

GaMetal takes to the skies with this remix of Zero from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War!
(Intro Skip: 00:47)
◆ Gameplay footage by Avͫaͤrͫiͤk von Nom (Thank you!)
/ @avarikvonnom
I've been seeing Ace Combat requests for years, but have yet to do a song from the series... until today.
Ace Combat was the #9 most requested new (to GaMetal) series from the 2020 GaMetal Song Ballot, so it's about time we get to it with the most requested song from the series: Zero from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War.
This song is originally very orchestral, with some Latin thrown in as well. I tried to keep true to that style with this remix.
Enjoy!

Technically, yes. The pilot you play as, along with your wingmen (in this case PJ) are mercenaries, as soon as the war is over you go home. So, since that was the last mission, PJ was likely to retire

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.

[@vincentsalinas-piper146]

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.

He dodged all those death flags just to take the bullet for you. The real buddy was the one who isn’t still alive...

[@returnofMCH]

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. It makes Ionela’s speech at the end of 7 all the more tragic

[@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.
