Let's be honest: you don't get to listen to a spanish guitar like that in a video game about fighter jets everyday, right?
2 years late, but you're goddamn right
*sapinish
I do, by playing its ost everyday. What a masterpiece it is.
@@piero4706 Amen
Nope. And you're right about it.
“Everyone is a Hero and a Villian. And no one knows who is the victim and who is the aggressor. And what is peace?”
we will never know
“And yet what is a nation?”
@@Vol_ante can we actually see the physical lines that divide one from another?
@@yaboiryan no, only on maps

I like to imagine all the pilots of the Belkan War, in the year 2015, sitting in a Sapinish bar
Just vibing together, remembering lost comrades, lovers, etc.
And one quiet man in the back, strumming this tune. With a dog on his shoulder patch.
Man You make me cry
And then one of those men from the center of the bar turns over, looking over towards your direction. Speaking to you with these simple words.

Yeah, sure. Just casually fucking send a shiver down my spine why don't cha.
@@mill2712 "Still alive, buddy." in sign language
Imagine the reason why thompson couldnt find cipher is because the pilots took a vow if silence to allow him to live a silent life.
And to only way to learn about him is his legends.
Pixy's tale is quite tragic. He was a Belkan from the south that lost his family when he was young and became a mercenary that fought against his own people. Seeing the Oseans savagely destroy Hoffnung and Belka destroy itself in nuclear Armageddon was too much for him, to the point he thought that only by starting the world over could he bring peace to it. No wonder he joined the ISAF afterwards (Many of their members weren't just anti-Erusea, they were also anti-Osea as well)
Wait, he is belkan ?
I dont remember that, huh
@@eugenlovin6788 yes, it says on the records (or whatever the game calls it)
How tragic is the irony that Pixy, who was tired of so many deaths, became the guardian of WMD(V2) that would bring so many more deaths.
I was never able to find out what kind of a person he really was. But whenever they talked about him, they always had a slight smile on their faces.
That, perhaps, may be my answer.
*ACE COMBAT ZERO*
_THE BELKAN WAR_
Buell Meredith Hathfield nothing like a MINT cut to credits with a great song. It hit so hard.
Literally how to end the story of a war that started all wars
The Best Ace Combat Game.
AAAAHHHHHH x'O
@@IceLizardsUnited I very much agree.
Cipher walked out the door to his home and looked out over the land. He always loved the view of the country during sunset. It always helped put him at ease when he was stressed. And with a nagging feeling he couldn't explain happening, this was a good alleviation. He took in a breath of the air, as clean and refreshing as it always was and let a smile grace across his face.
"Daddy! Daddy!" a voice called out to him.
He turned around to see his young daughter running at him, holding something. He grew curious as he knelt down to greet her. "Hey sweetie, whatcha got there?"
She held out the item: A dog tag. Cipher raised an eyebrow as he took it and began examining. And the name printed on it made his calming mood shatter. Larry Foulke. "W-Where did you find this?" He asked.
"I was looking around in the attic and found it in an old box with some of your old Air Force stuff. I thought it was weird since it didn't have your name on it and wanted to see if you knew anything."
Her words barely managed to register to him as he ran his thumb over the dog tag, a look of concern coming over him. His mind flashed back to that day over Avalon. The extrenuating G forces he felt maneuvering his plane through the canyon, the sense of fear he felt trying to stop V2 and the sadness of having to do what he never thought he would have to to a person he once called his friend. He didn't notice his face growing more concerned and pale.
"DAD!" his daughter shouted, snapping him out of his stupor. "Are you okay? You don't look good."
Cipher shook his head to clear his head and put on a fake smile. "Y-yeah I'm fine. Just thinking about something. Where is your mother?"
"I think out in the garden." She responded, her head tilting curiously.
"Why don't you go help her. I'm sure she'll appreciate it." He said, putting a hand on her shoulder, the false smile still apparent.
"Okay!" She said, excitedly. And with that she ran off towards the garden on the other end of the house, disappearing from his sight.
He looked down at the dog tag again, the "smile" slipping off his face completely. Then, turning his attention up, he once again focused on the countryside, noticing little bits that made his heart grow more heavy. A small truck heading down the distant road, a group of kids playing near one of his neighbors' house, a small flock of birds flying through the air. To anyone else, these sights were trivial, nothing really of note. But to Cipher, they meant so much in that moment.
They were signs of peace, of tranquility, of a calming feeling that mercenary pilots like him rarely saw. And with what could've happened on that day, it would've been a sight he could never see again. He clenched his eyes shut in anger at the man who was almost responsible for the massacre of countless lives. If he didn't stop Pixy on that day, this comfortable life he's come to love wouldn't exist. His wife and daughter, the two people he loves the most and the ones who'd helped him realize that a good life isn't always one in the air.... they would've never came to be, as he would be dead.
Cipher wanted to be angry at Pixy, he wanted to resent him for almost bringing the world to ruin. But he just couldn't. Pixy's words echoed in his head.
_'Too bad, buddy. This twisted game needs to be reset. We'll start over from zero with this V2, and entrust the future to the next generation.'_
Those words replayed over and over in Cipher's mind. How could Pixy know what was gonna happen? That the atrocities committed during the Belkan War weren't gonna happen again? That the world would be at true peace after millions would be exterminated? He shook his head and sighed, his grip loosening on the dog tags. That wasn't the Pixy he knew.
For all that he's done, Cipher couldn't really resent him. If anything, he took pity on Pixy. He was disillusioned into believing that destruction was the path towards peace, that being united into a world without nations would be the key. But was it really that simple? Would the human race really be compliant like that? It was doubtful, to say the least.
Cipher once again looked at the dog tags. This was the only evidence of Pixy that they found among the wreckage of the Morgan. Since there was no body, then that meant he was alive, somewhere. In the few months after the incident, Cipher used any connection he could get to see if anything else related to Pixy's whereabouts were found. It was a fruitless endeavour but that didn't stop Cipher from looking.
He didn't know why he was so obsessed with finding him. Was it a fear that he could do something like this again? Back then, that's what Cipher believed. But now, he realized he was lying to himself. It wasn't fear, but a longing. A longing to see an old friend who he had formed a close bond with over the course of that hellish war. A longing to find out why he did what he did.
And even now, 10 years after he gave up searching and retired, that longing still hasn't ceased it's stranglehold over his heart. Cipher had long forgiven Pixy for what he's done. Any anger he held for him was replaced by sadness and pity. Maybe Pixy is still out there, alive? Maybe he's settled down and found a different path in life? These questions, Cipher asked himself as he looked out into the sky. The last rays of the sun reflected off the stray tears running down Cipher's face.
He knew he would probably never be able to see Pixy again, but that didn't stop him from having faith. A faith that an old friend is alive and finding his own path. That faith was enough to put a smile on his face as he repeated the question his friend used to always ask him:
"Yo Buddy, you still alive?"
Beautiful
Why no one liking this comment???
Solitary, now!
This is illegally underrated
Yo Buddy,you still alive?
Nice
I always thought the whole AC series would have been a good animated show.
definitely...
One Ace per episode, told from the view of the Ace we defeat in the corresponding mission.
That seems to me like a good idea

His presence filled the skies for but a few short months before he disappeared. Apart from that, nothing is known about him. I was never able to find out what kind of a person he really was.

Rot 1
A nation is comprised of the individuals who live in its borders. It can only become a nation when it is supported by those individuals. But mercenaries who cross lines and allegiance for money have no country to protect. They only fight for their own power and fame. But if that was the case, then why did I lose to him? Maybe not having the burden of a nation allows you to fly faster.
Grun 1
War is something fought on the desk of politicians. As long as they win in the end, that’s all that matters. But for us, it’s a matter of survival. In order to survive, you need to analyze the situation in an instant. It’s the same as living in a city. The rules of this little city apply just as well to that wide open sky. That guy had the same feel about him as this city.
Indigo 1
I fly under the code of knighthood. It’s no surprise since we soldiers are the descendants of the Belkan Knights. We protect the meek and give our lives for honor. But that does not mean that we are generous… since generosity will cost us our lives. If the pilot survived to the end of the war, he must have carried out these rules.
Gelb 2
I bailed out and landed here. The Captain was gone. I’ve lived a comfortable life since then… and I probably have him to thank for that. They ring the bells here at dusk to honor the liberation of the capital. It signals peace, but… to me, they are the sounds of death.
Schwarze Leader
Is the man still alive? Though I guess it’s hard for bad guys like us to die. The real heroes always manage to die first. But guys like him, Solo Wing, and me, we live the rest of our lives in hell. But then again, being alive is proof that we were good.
Schnee 1
When a fighter plane goes down, that’s the end. It disintegrates into pieces, incinerated beyond recognition. It’s a scary thought. But it also makes you feel alive. I left the military, but I still fly that sky. But…it’s pretty lonely up there all by myself. I’d love to fly with him again someday.
Silber 1
Hatred cannot be the only motivation for war. It only brings about more pointless deaths. I lost most of my students. They were all my children, my flesh and blood. I will never overcome that grief. I’ll probably never teach anyone again, nor will I ever go up in the sky again. I’ve entrusted everything I know to a new generation. I’ll just look on from here.
Espada 2
If the Demon Lord hadn’t appeared, our lives might have been different. For me, it wasn’t about flying or ideals. Most of all, it was about him, my flight lead. Our mission was to escort the heavy command cruiser that was to act as transportation for the organization. And the Demon Lord appeared, as if to block our paths. I will never forget his overwhelming power. One by one, my comrades were shot down, and then the mother bird we were supposed to protect.
We survived after the fight. We left our organization and returned to the ground together. But…he was heavily wounded. He soon passed away, leaving me behind. We were only able to spend a short time together in peace and quiet.
But I don’t blame anyone. The regret and suffering that remained after that battle…were also what he had given me. They’re among the precious few things he left behind.
Sorcerer 1
“Demon Lord” was right. Everything he touched fell apart. I thought I was watching magic. When I was in the military, they called me an ace too. I got medals for my actions on numerous battlefields. I’d never felt fear toward an opponent, The same with my ideals. I wasn’t afraid to take on even an entire country. But when I was fighting him, something felt different. At first, I didn’t know what it was. It wasn’t until I noticed my hands shaking on the flight stick that I realized…it was fear. It’s embarrassing, but once I felt that, I couldn’t fly anymore, I felt guilt towards my companions at the time. There’s always a war somewhere and I’m sure he’s on some battlefield somewhere fighting even now. He’ll always have a place to live.
Gault 1
"The gate to the new world has been opened. My soul shall be the wind that enters the gate. When the sleeping King awakes, my body, too, shall surely rise."
Wizard 1
This darkness and that little window are my entire world now. I’m actually rather fond of it. The darkness envelops me in a borderless world, a world with no boundaries. He was not the reason we were unable to change the world. No matter what the desired outcome is, the world can still change as long as people expand their knowledge and desire change. Today’s world has already changed from what it was back then.
Galm 2
I should have died that day. But I didn’t. I dragged my wounded body, and reached ground zero of the nuclear detonations. A barren, empty land. I felt an unbearable sadness when I witnessed that landscape. There were still people living there. They were the ones that saved me. It may be true that the world has no need of borders. But would getting rid of them really change anything? The world won’t change for the better unless we trust people. Trust is vital in a peaceful world. But that will never happen, I’m still on the battlefield. Right now I’m near a border. I want to see for myself what borders really mean and what their volition really is… I may not find what I’m looking for but I still wanna try. Anyway, that’s what I’ve come to believe and I think that’s enough.

OBC DOCUMENTARY
*SPECIAL: WARRIORS AND THE BELKAN WAR*
Interviewer: Brett Thompson
“Yo buddy, still alive? And thanks friend... see you again.”
Those words echoed throughout the neat and tidy room, the walls covered in medals and mementos of his participation in the Belkan war.
As the documentary came to a close enveloping his comfortable space once more in silence, he began to reflect on that long past conflict. Even as the world moved on, his scars and wounds didn’t. They were a constant reminder of that war which defined him. It was on that battlefield where he made it known his pride, his glory, his skill, his achievements, his heroism, his sins, and the very nickname that was bestowed upon him by those who had flown the skies alongside him, as both friend and foe:
The demon lord of the round table, was what they once called him. A name that was feared and respected by all who had seen his prowess, spoken in either hushed whispers in alleyways or proclaimed loudly at parties as to rouse interest. To him, that nickname was both a curse and a blessing. Before he walked in the shadows to avoid bringing unwanted attention to himself only appearing periodically to reveal himself for a moments notice, now he walks the streets having his background fade into obscurity along with his reputation.
Memories once repressed by time and age began flooding back, filling his mind with both anguish and nostalgia. PJ, Pixy, Hoffnung, Avalon, B7R, oh how he yearned to be free of it all, the burden that he placed on himself. Yet it was this burden that seemed integral to who he was and is, almost as if it was another part of his soul.
He sat there pondering for a moment before chuckling and breaking a bittersweet smile, muttering softly to himself:
“Hey pal, guess I still am. And one last thing... I miss you.”

Beautiful writing, dude. :)
That was amazing man! Serious props right there
It was a tough war. Many memories. Some bad, some good.
Beautifully written. Kinda wish it was in the game if it didn't break the rule of then main character speaking.
I really liked the "only appearing periodically to reveal himself for a moments notice". Idk if you did it on purpose to make it sound like the razgriz poem, it also fits cipher quite well as one way to interpret the Razgriz poem is cipher being the first Razgriz "As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies." while Blaze and the gang being the second part of the Razgriz legend "after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero."
*ahem* beautiful writing

Someone once said that this is Espada 2 singing to her lost love.
It actually makes sense though
When in reality is a extract of the Razgriz legend.
"Cum potentia

Cum somnus finis

It was a cold and snowy day.
Snow crunched under his feet as he walked. Nothing but a brown leather jacket and a baseball cap to shield him from the relentless cold.
That was fine. A life in the Ustian hinterlands made him used to the cold.
The man, now with slightly graying hair, stopped. He could see it.
Where it all happened. Where it all ended.
Avalon Dam.
"Wondering when you'd visit, buddy."
Cipher turned around. There he was. His enemy. The other side of the coin. The King of the Round Table.
His buddy.
Pixy.
Cipher just cracked a smile. "I guess I can say that I'm still alive?"
Pixy gave a small chuckle and walked up next to Cipher, his eyes glued to the wall of metal. "I guess we can both say that."
The former Galm Team stayed silent for a while, reminiscing of what had happened all those years ago.
"Did you really have to shoot down PJ like that?" Cipher suddenly asked.
Pixy had a conflicted look on his face. "I... was aiming for you, actually. I would've shot PJ's engines and force him to eject. Figured he at least still had someone to come home to."
"You and me both."
Another silence. This time, Pixy broke it.
"I heard you got a family, actually. How're they doing?"
"Oh, the kids take after me, you kn-"
Cipher was suddenly cut off by the roar of ten afterburning jet engines screaming overhead - four Tomcats and a Raptor. Cipher instinctively ducked but came to his senses quickly, while Pixy, for whatever reason, didn't react.
"...goddammit."
Pixy burst into laughter while Cipher grinned widely. "No wonder PJ wanted me to go here, that little shit..."
"Wasn't just PJ, buddy. Your kids have been trying for ages."
Cipher's head whipped over. "You mean-"
A crooked grin. "We had a whole plan. Blaze pulled some strings in the peacekeeping corps to get PJ in Razgriz for a day, and they've got a sortie north of here."
It was Cipher's turn to laugh. "The things you idiots do for a laugh..."
The two friends just stood there, chuckling, as the sounds of Mobius 1 and the Aces of Razgriz faded into the distance.

Ace Combat Zero is the most close this franchise got to actually real war and human nature. Pain, hate, rage, rancor, friendship, love. It even bring philosophical concepts like what are bordes and whats the meaning of fighting for an imaginary line set by politicians. All of this concepts we are seeing now in Ukraine.

My dad is a veteran of Ace Combat game btw, he has been playing this game since PS1 era, and he is also the one who introduced me to Ace Combat franchise. I remember when I wanted to buy a game for my PS2, he told me to buy an Ace Combat game. I didn't know anything about Ace Combat, but he said it was a good game, so we bought it. We bought Ace Combat Zero. Over time Ace Combat Zero became one of my favorite games on PS2, I always played it when I came home from school. But then my PS2 broke. I didn't play PS2 Game for a few years after that. When I grew up I tried to play Ace Combat Zero again, I finally understood a little English, so I started to understand the story of this game. I cried, The nostalgia, the music, the story and the feeling of this game feel very special. This game is really beautiful, thanks to my dad for introducing me to this beautiful game.

+San94Andreas YNWA!!
What i love the most about this top tier composition is, it's almost a perfect representation of life itself, in the beginning it sounded cheerful, a celebration of life with a promise of hope, then as it gets on, a bit taste of melancholy are added to it up till the climax, which represent a different stages of life and all the experience we had. And finally the ending. signifying the end of a journey, it's all lamentation and self reflection now, all that glory, achievement and memories, as everything slowly fades away....thanks for coming to my TED talk, hope all you aces have a wonderful day and achieving what ever you strive for..
That's a beautiful insight, really. Thank you, friend.
And this is what makes AC soundtracks so amazing! They always have a true, hidden meaning in them, just like this one.
Slideshows are also perfect for the music. Doves and fighter pilot helmets. But most importantly, 4:20 shows scenes from the city where Pixy is, showing that time has passed but wars still occur. After that, it shows the dead land which those 7 nukes caused. It show the desolate landscape, but after that it shows flowers blooming. And of course after all that, when track is about the end, photo of Cipher' and Pixy's plane is shown. I can imagine its PJ who took that photo and showed it to those two.
This song gives me chills. Very fitting for the picture. I can imagine this being background music while flipping through an album of old grainy photos of the Belkan War. Such a beautiful and haunting melody.
so true

NightRAV Gaming Channel nier is overrated garbage, pretty much all the thought process is given to you on a platter, not allowing you to come to conclusions yourself, the game tries so hard to show you its point that it just loses meaning, because those arent your actual conclusions, dark souls on the other hand is another thing, almost everything in that game can be interpreted in a different way, it allows you to make your own opinions, and allows you to speculate about the world around you, it also gives off an impression that you dont belong in that world, which is perfect, because you dont, as the unkindled, you go against the world in your own way, i have tried hard to like nier automata, but no matter how much, i just cant, i feel like theres waaaaaaaay too much potential lost

I want to meet the musical personnel on Ace Combat and congratulate them on their beautiful creations that I am sad they cannot live truly immortalized.
Their performance is forever immortalised with this song at least, so long as we all remember this gorgeous masterpiece through the years.
"Is the man still alive? Well, I guess it’s hard for bad guys like us to die - the real heroes always manage to die first. But guys like him, Solo Wing, and me.. we live the rest of our lives in hell.
.. but, then again, being alive is proof that we were good."
This music really highlights how tragic the war was.
that's a fair statement
it more or less just encapsulates war itself
I was a 13-14 old when I played this game over and over again. Now I’m 23 and This song brings me this memory’s.
Me crying after finishing the entire AC series: *I found a reason to fight, buddy*
As we move from 2023 to 2024, let's take a moment to look back upon our year. I'm sure all us aces have fought, won, lost, loved, laughed, cried, and most of all, learned this year. Let's take a moment to rest, and enjoy ourselves. Who knows how long these moments might last. Consider it the epilogue to our year. 🎉
The promotional pics for this game look so fucking real like the cover for this and the black and white shot of the same. The best AC imo because there’s less anime BS in the plot and it’s a grounded yet tragic story
Agreed
I still listen to this, from 2007 - now
703rd how about now? still alive?
2018 now owo
And thanks friend, see you again.
And thanks friend, see you again.
And thanks friend, see you again.
The Belkan War and Shattered Skies are simply triumphant masterpieces.
Im here again listening again.. because before i had internet and youtube etc... i had to load up the PS2 just to listen to this. See you again friend.
I remember back when I only had 04, I would play through the entire game just so I could hear the end credits song again. And they've only gotten better since.
To remember since the number of views are exactly same as :
Galm Team, 6th Air Division, 66th Air Force Unit
I love the quiet drums at 4:19. They remind me of artillery firing somewhere along the border further away. It really is a nice subtle touch.
I was gonna say that it can't be because the Belkan War had ended, but then I remember the interviews were done in 2005, the same year as the Usean Continental War. In spite of the horrors of the Belkan War, people decided to start another.
It’s a crime project aces haven’t published this on Spotify with the rest of the songs
They did along with 5 and 6 iirc.. I think 4 as well?? But unfortunately due to unknown reason, they delisted them from Spotify.
The air raid sirens go off and one of the few people left in this city smiles as he lights up a cigar, protected only by four walls of glass. He smiles as he leans back against the penthouse's dining room table, looking out the eastward window at a single trail of fire and smoke approaching from above.
Every demon gets cast back to hell eventually. If they can't reach up to the sky, then the sky will come down to earth to do it themselves.
When you've got all you ever wanted in life, you don't have to worry about taking it with you.
"You're welcome, buddy," he says with that razor smirk, "I'll be seein' ya real soon."

living near an airfield and listening to this track/playing 4,5, and Zero and 6 is the ultimate goosebumps. I can never forget this game/franchise. brings me tears of joy that I'm glad i got to play this and all the others during my childhood days. #ACES
1:30 Marcela Vasquez is singing over her lost love
I'm never going to be able to listen to this the same way again because of that comment.
damn you
umg apc227 are you even making stopmotions anymore
Damn you
I know it's just a game but at 4:03, I can feel the pain of the 12,000 civilians and innocent victims of the seven V1... How can I be so affected by the death of people who do not exist? Well done Project Aces...
Belka is pretty much the woobie of Ace Combat, what with the Economic crisis, the loss of its territory, corruption by authoritarianism, a devastating war, June 6th 1995, the maiming of its land, and then the Grey Men roping the country back into another war due to their resentment. What did Belka do to deserve that amount of destruction?
Indeed. I have care not of the mass dead of soldiers/civilian in any wargame. Or losing your companion/comrade/wingman/squad. But ace combat series.... make me feel guilty in the bombing, cries losing chopper, lost in will against pixy, questionin life and country and war cos pixy, helpless to mihaly (until we can actually shoot him down lol). But yeah... these are more than just golds. More than gems. This is out of this world's most luxurious jewel. Now words can describe.
I mean they never confirm if the 12,000 were civilian or military or what
the best thing about Ace Combat Zero is that I can justify ever action
Historical parallel to Germany bro. Shit ain’t even far fetched
As if Germany uses its V2
I legit cried the first time I watched the credits roll.
I can't believe they didn't include this i the spotify release
Well, now you can. Namco just uploaded the album on Spotify
@@senselessmacabre7870 yes i know, and guess what? It doesn't include this song.
Of all songs, they missed this one out.
Im actually looking for info on this video comments because I cant find it on apple music either
This song is not on Spotify but there is Zero, another incredible song. And Zero is not on this playlist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the cover picture for the album is almost as evocative as the music.
Guys used to really do this back in the day. Put their money together, buy a beat-up old Fouga Magister, and go fly as mercenaries in Africa or SE Asia or Latin America. Not much money in it but great camaraderie. Sounds like the high life.
Those pics literally look like they were taken in a real operation. The game mixes real imagery in and it feels like you actually did these missions
@@rohanthandi4903 "Warriors and the Belkan War"
What i really love about those songs comment section is the camaraderie, it's like everyone is here telling their story and how they lived the wars that took place in the different ace combats, of course it is fictionnal but it really feel like a bunch of veterans talking about their war stories.
"The year is 2005, and it's a Reunion for Belkan Aces shot down during the war.
Although the war was a decade bygone, the scars of it were still fresh, the horrors of the nukes resonated in everyone there like a bad omen. Many old vets who were still alive were there, including Solowing Pixy, the legendary side man for the war hero Cypher, who they thought was killed in 2005, just months beforehand. But when that was said, a riff ringed out (The start of the song) from a guy in the corner with his helmet on, and when they saw the Dog logo on the side of it, they all knew who it was." An Osean Journalist inside said party, in a Documentary about the Belkan War released in 2010
If I were to have kids, I'm making sure they play this legendary series. Have them see what awesome skills their pops has and have those skills pounded into them. Then have friendly dogfights to see if they surpass me or not. Which I hope they do.
Make sure to use Mihaly’s line... “There are aces like you in every generation... I downed every last one of ‘em”
Anyone who listened to this music without context might think this is a soundtrack to a western movie set near the US-Mexico border.
+Anugerah Rompis You mean southern spain
most of the games soundtrack was built upon that nice latino sound. with the clappers and the maracas and that spanish acoustic.
+Daniel Cannata No no, Not Spanish...that guitar is from Sapin :)
+FalloutRain ah yes....
You mean a standoff between Trump and the Mexicans?
A bit late, but playing this in virtual honor/memory of Tomcat171
Nice song but always sad to hear it knowing that the "game" is over. Ending credits? I guess it fits well, the ending credits of real war, who really wins? War doesn't determine who is right, only who is left!
_And whom gets to right the stories, the histories, the legends_
wordplay, very smart, and very correct. i study History, and sometimes i look back at wars and battles and i ask myself, what if we're the bad guys? whos on the right? who's the true aggressor? i never asked myself these questions until i watched the old ace combat games, these games made me think, not like a chess player, but like the observer. Ace Combat games made me question my morals, and rightly so
@@curtislui2675 very true.
I posted that 5 years ago...during a very difficult time in my life. A Veteran suffering from PTSD, I got to experience an actual war, or our war the way it goes during these modern times.
Who’s right and who’s wrong? The battlefield was abandoned long ago, but the war within rages on...
Everyone credits Zero with being this games defining musical triumph but I actually prefer this track. Zero is incredible but this one stands above it I think.
Yo Buddy, this song is pretty good.
Por que lo traicionaste a chipher? xD
yes it is pixy . yes it is.
yo buddy, i agree
You are pixy with emblem wizard
I'm happy that this song lives on almost 20 years later. Little did I know as a child I would look back at this game as nothing less than art.
too bad they didn't put this song on Spotify, it's very soothing, comfort and calm song, ngl.
My first jet games were AC7 and PW. Finally got around to binge the PS2 games this month. I can see why Zero is so many people's popular of the series. It's probably tied as my favorite with AC5.
Real MVP is the dude going ham on those castanets
*Nod*
The opera vibe from 1:30 almost amazingly compliments this Spanish-like song and you just gotta love the simplicity at end the and how each line starts and then abruptly ends. It’s also interesting how some lines fade out and how at the start of the second part of the song you get a final call back to Zero. Who knows what the second part truly represents, because I don’t have a damn clue. All I can say is, this song is real work of art
Epic, epic. Dedicated to our fallen brothers in the skies of Ustio.
Eventually history must be allowed to remember those that fought for good or evil. Eventually a hero's time must end.
We must all eventually head out into the sunset.
At least until it needs us once again.
Strangereal will always remember the pilot that fought and saved thousands during the Belkan War.
To me the song is great. As a Latino it fits my families history of 500 years
I hope we see Cipher once again but at the same time hope we don't
Honor plus, insight into the war, shot down, angel of death, war survivors, reborn veterans, immortal believers, innovators, reliable partners, compassionate enemies, feared and revered warriors; Intertwined in the sky of the Belka war, it encounters changes, reverses its destiny, and an unchangeable world; Maybe except for the flamenco 30000 feet away, that's why zero was canonized
The New Year is at it's dawn, and our hero, villain, and witness, the Demon Lord of the Round Table returns to the snow, never to be seen again.
And yet, his mark left on the skies remain unforgotten by many who witnessed his journey......
Rustybros... He was a real buddy.
BEST TRACK IN THE GAME (la mejor sin duda del juego,me hizo llorar y recordar)
Me and you are the 2 faces of the same coin, there may be a resemblance but we never face the same direction.
I played this game after playing AC4, 5, 6 and 7 even tho it comes first in the story line. Now all the references in those games make a lot of sense.
The order i played was Four, Zero, Five, Seven
Even until now, i keep coming back here
Why is most of this album on Spotify but missing this song, which happens to my favorite.
It also didn't exist on Namco Music channel on RUclips
I'm still sad this isn't on Spotify 😔
Thank you, Kiryu Coco-senpai.
Take care and as a good man said, fair winds.
So I'm not the only one
O7
Still one of my favorite songs in gaming history. highly underrated OST and probably one of the reasons I became a musician
Who ever produced this song is most excellent and a wonderful musician I love this I listen to it at least once a week
kobi kobayashi
Keiki*
I remember when my dad got me this game for Christmas and we spent the whole day after that playing until we complete it. After that we always played ace combat on sundays when I got to visit him, hear the ost especially this song now that he’s gone make me remember him and all the good moments with him, such good memories
Each time I finish this game, I get sad and my eyes swell up like I'm cutting onions. Be it the first, fourth, or fifth time it's going to be a kick to the jaw with no ice and I guess it helps push the point across that when nobody wins, everyone hurts.
God, don't you just love music man. I get the most chills from the vocals but the ending really defines the end of it all... calm yet dreadful. And when you put all of the events within the game into context... soldiers willing to destroy the world they were ment to protect just so war would never ravage again. No wonder cipher just said fuck it and went off the grid.
I think a great thing about ACZ too is that you can justify all sides of the war
in a story if I can justify the actions of my enemy it's a good story
it just makes it feel all the more real
What a haunting song. I could listen to this years later and the memories and flashbacks of the game and it's darkest moments will be carried with me.
If this ain't playing in my funeral i'm not dying
God this game had such a bittersweet ending. It felt sad, but it was hopefull at the same time.
PJ...
man F for PJ
I can't help but be influenced by Pixys ideology
it was a war over nothing
it was a war over borders and invisible lines
Recently brought this game. Completely worth it.
First time playing an AC game?
Actually 7 was my first. I got zero because I really wanted to play with its super plans and enjoy the story.
Evander Bradley you gotta play 4 and 5 my man
4 was cool but to me it was more like arcade fun. If you enjoyed Zero, then it is very likely you'll enjoy 5's story, since they are connected. I felt Zero had more "replay-ability" than 5, but story wise they are both worth it.
This game needs a remake soo bad, man 😢
This is the best song of any game soundtrack I have ever heard. I never expected the game and storyline to be as good as it was and is.
I can honestly say ace combat is one of the best games I have ever played.
Did you know there are three kind of aces.Those who seek strength, those who live for pride and those who can read the tide of battle.Those are the three.And him,he was a true ace.
俺はエスコン５とzeroが一番好きだな。
音楽、キャラクター、ストーリーの全てがかっこいい！
I like AC5 and ACzero the best.
All music, character and story are cool !
Tjueto 22
wow
円卓の鬼神
幸運を祈る！
是非！！リメイクを！！
I don't speak Japanese but
I agree
Even AC7 can't beat the soul of AC ZERO, from story, difficulties (even on easy these game still challenging), gameplay atmosphere, and for sure Soundtrack,
This game would never dies forever, and PCSX2 emulator keep this game would be playable till anytime if namco and PA is not intterest to remake or remastered this game 👍
4 5 and Zero are great. 5 i think got the best story though. 6 was ok, 7 had so many callbacks and so much nostalgia in it. but it didnt reach the heights of the 3 greats.
4, 5 and zero are definitely better games, but as far as difficulty goes once I finished AC 7 on max difficulty I wiped the floor with literally every enemy in the previous games regardless of difficulty, sadly AC 7 is so much more difficult that mastering its difficulty made the other games feel too easy purely because PS2 limitations limited the number of enemies on a map too much and AC 6 enemies are all easy, but their numbers are the only thing that gives it any difficulty.
They don't need a remastered version.
@@mictlantehcutl They kinda do, so they can be preserved and played by future generations.
Remastered would do. With AC7 + next gen graphic. But whos going to replace Pixy? Deadpool?
Just passing through Dinsmark interviewing former ACE pilots who have met the "Demon Lord of the Round Table."
29 people didn't have a PS2
Absolute masterpiece
This AC game and OST will always be special to me as this was one of my first games i played. No OST could ever compete with this in my opinion.
誰も得しなかった戦争のエピローグ。だから好き
I sure hope the Holy Trinity of Ace Combat games gets the multiplatform release treatment nowadays. Can you imagine playing all three of them (and maybe even AC2, the proper Japanese version of AC3, ACX, and even AC6) on modern PlayStations, Xboxes, and PCs? The Switch, even?
why is this the absolute, most perfect piece of video game music
edit: why is this the absolute, most perfect piece of music
Sip my coffee, play this song and just relax
I didn't play the game or series unfortunately but wow, what a passionate track!
You really should ! Its great
"There's no mercy in war. People live and people die, that's all there is to it."
And 16 years later, after all that happened in Ukraine, those words hit even harder.
