@@tylerrose4416 Yuktobania is the Strangereal equivalent of Russia. Estovakia is based on Romania, which might explain why the Razgriz theme is sung in Latin, since the Romanian and Latin languages are known to have many similarities. Also the nickname "Stovies" comes from "Estovakia," whereas the nickname "Sovies" is derived from "Soviet." The Soviets don't exist in Strangereal, and the Soviet Union was more than just Russia.
Yuktobania even has the accents! At least in the cutscenes... I feel like the enemy radio chatter you hear in missions is just the enemy talking in their native languages, but you hear them in English just for immerson/plot. Yuktobanians speaking Russian, Belkans speaking German, and Eruseans speaking French.
I made a song with my friend about Bandog singing solitary 😆 it’s pretty funny. I’m new to the game and just finished ‘long day’ so I dunno what’s to come with Bandog in the future
the fact that Trigger has never seen combat is exactly why he still has a cool callsign, if he had seen combat there is a 90% chance a new pilot like him would have done something stupid and gotten "donated" a new one.
My headcanon is that he got that callsign in training for having an itchy trigger finger - like many newbie Ace Combat players, he wastes a lot of missiles on high-angle shots instead of getting on the enemy's tail properly.
I flew with standard controls once, in AC 4. I found myself upside down headed to the ground; a simple roll would have corrected this problem. I slammed into the ground because you can't roll in standard. Never again, ever.
Yep! I tell everybody who asks me about it that expert controls take a little more getting used to, but are much, much better in the long run, and it's stuff like this that's why.
@@serothel The funny things is that expert controls were more natural for me and started with that. I just wanted to see how standard controls felt. It was the game's way of saying "no".
This game, I've watched the trailers countless times, preordered the CE, Season Pass, some official merchandises, and even the OST. I love this game to death; I still watched these kind of reviews just because I love to hear more people talking about this game.
This was my first Ace Combat game, I bought it after watching a playthrough during which 2 things stood out to me, those being the gameplay and the music. I will buy whatever Project Aces comes up with next because this game is my fucking jam and I need more of it and I will make more of it myself if I goddamn have to.
I love how every single Ace Combat 7 review from the shallowest the most American one that only has Top Gun OST playing to the deepest one that knows the very lore of Strangereal forgot that there is a pilot TAC named Tailor in Cyclops Squadron.
So you walked all over his clean white sheets with your dirty boots huh? XD Alicorn is my favorite of the OST now, not gonna lie. That chanting when the big ass submarine (its the freaking size of the Empire State Building!) finally surfaces and you get to rip into it...gives me chills man.
Yeah, it's rare that a DLC comes in and outdoes the base game, but I think in terms of both missions and music AC7's DLC hits it out of the park. Really looking forward to AC8 if the DLC is a preview of what to expect.
What? The point of that line was that some planes are Fantasy creations, as opposed to real life jets. Anime land isn't just another way of saying Japan.
Serothel well to them, any game that don’t have a tutorial or any objective indicator, they just call it ‘The Dark Soul of (insert game genre)’, in this case, they call it ‘The Dark Soul of flight game’. Oh they play it on novice control on easy diff, and they say it was ‘Too hard to play, even the story is hard to catch up with’, and they stated that they skipped all cutscene and don’t understand anything about the story
@@hieuuc2539 To be as...fair as possible, which is indeed more fair than they deserve, but still, one should try, this is the first game to really have required reading/playing to understand characters and reasoning. For instance, Former President Harling is given a big focus in one mission, and one mission only, but then after it, well, he's only important for the name of a thought experiment, so why he's important beyond that isn't obvious. Of course, to anyone who did play 5, the best selling in the franchise I think, his inclusion was a nice bit of fan service, though the answer to the thought experiment, Harling's Mirror, is obvious. Or the Stonehenge itself. What is it, and where did it come from? Why is only one gun active on the thing. If all you played was this one, well, it's just something you use in that one mission. Note, as a fan of this series, I loved all this, but I do understand why people might be a bit confused. That said, I also would have liked a very easy mode myself, mostly for replays, as I enjoy playing through 4, 5, and 0 in that mode, feeling like the Ace of Aces, every missile is a kill...if I can hit with it anyway, and I tear through the forces of Belka, Yuktobania, Eurasia, and World With No Borders. Also, really wish the Parts system was expanded more than a bit. The fact that the campaign only lets you have level 1 parts, and they have minor effects unless they're single level enhancements like the stealth upgrade and the missile lock on neutralizer, really is somewhat disappointing for someone coming in from Infinity that tried hard to allow the upgrades to really make your plane shine.
@@dylansorenson2001 Heh, I wasn't saying I was confused by it, it was just an example of what people might question if this was their only Ace Combat game, as this one has references and callbacks that are both subtle and not so subtle. I fought for ISAF and the Continent, I took Yellow 4 out of the skies about the big gun, and later one, I got Yellow 13 too, the smug git.
I like to imagine good ol Trig Trig just violently boppin his lil head with the music he likely has on 100% volume so he can't hear any of his squadmates
Finally someone who enjoys first contact as much as i did, everything came together really well on that level and as you said it felt the least bullshit out of all the Mihali duels. Weaving through the canyon in a low tier jet you had to earn each hit. Also, surprisingly well done vid considering you only have 4. Subbed for more.
Thanks for the support! I agree totally - I've softened a little on the M18 fight since making this but First Contact is still the best IMO. Glad you enjoyed!
When I booted up the DLC and saw that opening, I knew it was going to be something special. I played Anchorhead Raid so many times to get that S rank, but never got frustrated and had a blast every attempt I made.
When the penal squadron missions hit, I was fucking STOKED for some ace combat: bad company type shit. then it ended after 3 missions thank you project aces
It's something I've considered. I haven't looked into how the 6 and the Holy Trinity handle emulation, but if it's not too much hassle those will probably come eventually.
You explained the pros and the cons of this game perfectly. Ik one of my friends is looking for this kind of video to see if he’ll play it, so thank you
That ending part was amazing~ The F-22 flying off into the sunset with "Pensées"...damn~ "O" Also...Kotori Minami? You mean Kotori Migami? 8D ...Sorry. LOL Amazing video, my friend! Long live "Ace Combat"! Launch!
Something to throw in, the DLC missions also improve on the allied AI. In every mission you can actually see them taking out enemies, Count will even kill an EA-18 in Unexpected Visitor(scripted but still cool)
Thanks for mentioning! I wasn't even thinking about the AI in the DLC, but yeah, they're better and their low damage compared to the player is much more well-hidden, especially since they're not just endlessly strafing the Alicorn in SP03 like in M19.
Serothel yeah really became clear after coming back from AC6, where the AI almost stole your kills. I really think it makes the idea that the player is an exceptional pilot feel artificial if you’re basically the only pilot that can even damage the enemy.
@@Cuckler Right on the money. Buddy AI is a difficult balancing act, and I think 6 and 7 both overcorrected from 0 in different directions. Shamrock in AC6 is probably too good, but AC7 buddies may as well not exist for how ineffective they are. Hopefully PA nails the balance in 8
Russia is Yuktobania. Erusea is a mixture of France and Italy in culture and language, but not in military history at least. Just read the name of some of their people: Rosa Cosette D'Elise, Matias Torres (Spain is represented as Sapin, still), etc. And the song Rosa and Mihály's grand daughters sing is in French.
On the point of the planes looking good, inside and out: The team at Project Aces actually got permission to go to actual air bases and take pictures of military jets up close. And when they arrived on said air bases, most of the pilots told them that they either outright inspired their desire to become pilots, or at the very least, provided them with the fantasy of what they originally thought arial combat was going to be like.
Nice! Much better than my review of Ace Combat 7! You are a more experienced RUclipsr than me after all. You said literally everything I wanted to say in my review!

I remember in high school I played Ace04 and emailed Namco asking the next game we get to pull crazy maneuvers like the Yellow Squadron I guessed they answered my request on Ace07 lol they did respond. 😁😁😁

One thing they could have done during the Anchorhead Bay Mission is have Bandog show up with a new Spare Squadron to kill Labarathe only to then target Trigger and Count because....y’know.....it’s Bandog, what do ya expect?
I'm nearly 4 years late to the party here but this basically nailed all of the issues I've had with the game, including ones I knew I had but never "vocalized" to myself. Like the FBI bust that should have happened. The plot armor was the biggest turnoff for me, so I just tolerate the fights with Mihaly, which is a shame. Great presentation.
The crazy thing about AC7 is it literally only exists because of what a comeback Infinity turned out to be. 7 was announced at the height of Infinity's popularity in 2015 or so, as a PS4 exclusive, out of pretty much nowhere because everyone expected Infinity to be the series' last title. In the end, we sacrificed Infinity (which I never had the opportunity to play) to have AC7. What's even better is the DLC missions were easily worth the price of admission. They are respectively the best missions of their types IMO - dethroning both visits to B7R and Camona for dogfighting, Whiskey Corridor and Invincible Fleet for air-to-surface destruction, and Hrimfaxi for a submarine boss. The fact that the visit to Stonehenge is Mission 12 is a nice touch though.
Can we appreciate how well he said Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A.(Archange) Shilage so damn well 😂
Alright, so originally when I saw this game I was like “oh god it’s flight model is nothing like real world ewww” but after watching this video I think I’m gonna try it out. I have high hopes for this game now. I know it’s flight model won’t be as realistic as war thunder and definitely not like dcs but hey I think I’ll have fun with it
It's far removed from WT, and VERY far removed from DCS, but if you can get into the mindset I think you'll enjoy it. To make a pretentious food metaphor, you can look at AC as a frozen pizza to DCS' all-organic artisan whatever in an authentic brick oven.
Stop treating "realism" as the measuring stick of how FUN games are. You don't judge cr*p like Valorant for its lacking realism in rifle ballistics, why are you holding Ace Combat to a different standard?
Unfortunately yes. It's a shame because people are doing some cool stuff with skins but the means to download and install don't exist on console. On the bright side, BNE seem to understand that fan skins are hot given the number of post-launch skins they've added.
Really appreciated your review! Again, great quality production with a great script! I’m almost done the campaign. Looking forward to the DLC missions now! Perhaps, Project Wingman next. Keep the up the great work!
Ok, so Basically Top Gun and Metal Gear Solid had a baby. And the realism to arcadey balance of vehicle controls is along the lines of the original Racedriver Grid, which still to this day is my favorite racing game. Count me in baby!
Main Ace Combat games that take place before Ulysses: Zero, Air Combat (retroactively), Ace Combat 2/Assault Horizon Legacy (Cross Rumble in Japan) After Ulysses: Everything else
I am a person who enjoys mostly ww2 flight sims and I love this game. VR support for PC would be awesome and I would love for a bit more realistic flight dynamics like needing to go high to go really fast, limited afterburners and different plane handling at different speeds (kinda there but more) and altitudes. Also a caveat of no longer unlimited afterburner is that energy management would be a thing. And that would be awesome. On the upside, aircrafts fly differently from one another, there are no wrong choices for aircraft. Even the starter F-16 is very good and you can finish the game with it if you want to. I love the viper (used to play Falcon 4 BMS) and I basically haven't "upgraded". The game is good enough to teach you about simple air combat manoeuvres and how dogfighting works. The AI can put up a challenge and combat resembles to me a bit of what a ww2 pilot would imagine jet combat would look like. I would like a bit more energy management but just yesterday I found myself fighting against an "ace" and got into rolling scissors with him where I was able to use the Viper's much better roll rate to shoot down the large Flanker. And the game runs like butter and is fucking gorgeous... Honestly I just get on the cockpit view and climb as high as I can and just enjoy the scenery. Beautiful game. And that soundtrack... Damn...

Thank you so much! I watched your review, and I feel like you made some great points - particularly in regard to how AC protagonists are so messianic. I'd love to see more from you!
Thanks! You're great too! I hope to see more from you too!
I remember in high school I played Ace04 and emailed Namco asking the next game we get to pull crazy maneuvers like the Yellow Squadron I guessed they answered my request on Ace07 lol they did respond. 😁😁😁
That was a great review, thanks sero!
Thank YOU! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Your script, voice, and delivery are awesome!
No, you're awesome! Thank you!
Serothel also the editing was great! Seriously, for a second video this is so far beyond "random youtuber #8492's review show"
Keep on keeping on and have a happy new year :D

Trigger is lucky to have such a badass call name, especially as a Rookie xD

Best AWACS, huh?
AWACS BANDOG
Trigger got *TRIGGERED*
Clown should have been your wing man for the full game and you should have stayed with Spare squad.
One thing they could have done during the Anchorhead Bay Mission is have Bandog show up with a new Spare Squadron to kill Labarathe only to then target Trigger and Count because....y’know.....it’s Bandog, what do ya expect?
Awesome review!
Thanks for your support!
I had ace combat pre-ordered and since I got it I still play the campaign that's how good it is (I play multiplayer most of the time)
“Believe it or not, it wasn’t made my the Americans”
And now 8 is going to be a direct sequel to 3, looks like Aces acknowledge Electrosphere as part of the Offical universe
This is a great review, fun to watch. Great video, thanks man!!!
i hate how they forgot to subrcrime to this dude for great content
1:55 anchorhead is fire
I'm nearly 4 years late to the party here but this basically nailed all of the issues I've had with the game, including ones I knew I had but never "vocalized" to myself. Like the FBI bust that should have happened. The plot armor was the biggest turnoff for me, so I just tolerate the fights with Mihaly, which is a shame. Great presentation.
The crazy thing about AC7 is it literally only exists because of what a comeback Infinity turned out to be. 7 was announced at the height of Infinity's popularity in 2015 or so, as a PS4 exclusive, out of pretty much nowhere because everyone expected Infinity to be the series' last title. In the end, we sacrificed Infinity (which I never had the opportunity to play) to have AC7.
What's even better is the DLC missions were easily worth the price of admission. They are respectively the best missions of their types IMO - dethroning both visits to B7R and Camona for dogfighting, Whiskey Corridor and Invincible Fleet for air-to-surface destruction, and Hrimfaxi for a submarine boss.
The fact that the visit to Stonehenge is Mission 12 is a nice touch though.
Awesome Review. Honest and interesting through and through. You deserve many more subs:)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Can we appreciate how well he said Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A.(Archange) Shilage so damn well 😂
The true challenge lies in multiplayer. where if you master exactly when to do a post stall maneuver, you'll have most enemy players by the nuts.
Again, keep it up i love your style dude!
Thanks! I'm working on improving my turnaround so I should have more stuff coming soon :)
"i don't own a flight stick but they're APPARENTLY NOT WELL SUPPORTED" ah yes, the understatement of the century
Best review of AC7 out there, yet!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just like the title says... Objectively correct.
You're goddamn right.
Try listening to "Skirmish 3" from BSG Deadlock while flying, its great
Alright, so originally when I saw this game I was like “oh god it’s flight model is nothing like real world ewww” but after watching this video I think I’m gonna try it out. I have high hopes for this game now. I know it’s flight model won’t be as realistic as war thunder and definitely not like dcs but hey I think I’ll have fun with it
It's far removed from WT, and VERY far removed from DCS, but if you can get into the mindset I think you'll enjoy it. To make a pretentious food metaphor, you can look at AC as a frozen pizza to DCS' all-organic artisan whatever in an authentic brick oven.
Stop treating "realism" as the measuring stick of how FUN games are. You don't judge cr*p like Valorant for its lacking realism in rifle ballistics, why are you holding Ace Combat to a different standard?

*A-10* is the best choice for this mission believe me
I love how you actually have to listen to radio chatter yo know what to do
About Long Caster, the only guys that really can be compared to him are Sky Eye and his soviet counterpart, Oka Nieba
I’ll watch your career with great interest
ok, so, got this game off of game pass recently, but im going to buy it becasue its so good
AC 8 is said to happen *in electrosphere again*
goooooooooooood
I take it that most of the skins are only available on pc?
Unfortunately yes. It's a shame because people are doing some cool stuff with skins but the means to download and install don't exist on console. On the bright side, BNE seem to understand that fan skins are hot given the number of post-launch skins they've added.
thanks for making me want this game so badly.. hahaha (ong time i didnt play Ace Combat... i think the last one i played end to end was electrophere)
I bought it as my first ace combat game and it was pretty easy to master the flight ability’s and combat
Really appreciated your review! Again, great quality production with a great script! I’m almost done the campaign. Looking forward to the DLC missions now! Perhaps, Project Wingman next. Keep the up the great work!
Oki neiba.... best awaks out of all of them * last mission of ace combat 5*
Ok, so Basically Top Gun and Metal Gear Solid had a baby. And the realism to arcadey balance of vehicle controls is along the lines of the original Racedriver Grid, which still to this day is my favorite racing game. Count me in baby!
Main Ace Combat games that take place before Ulysses:
Zero, Air Combat (retroactively), Ace Combat 2/Assault Horizon Legacy (Cross Rumble in Japan)
After Ulysses: Everything else
Ace combat main characters are one isekai caracter constantly constantly summoned as a rookie to end the wars and after the war he/she disappear
I am a person who enjoys mostly ww2 flight sims and I love this game. VR support for PC would be awesome and I would love for a bit more realistic flight dynamics like needing to go high to go really fast, limited afterburners and different plane handling at different speeds (kinda there but more) and altitudes.
Also a caveat of no longer unlimited afterburner is that energy management would be a thing. And that would be awesome.
On the upside, aircrafts fly differently from one another, there are no wrong choices for aircraft. Even the starter F-16 is very good and you can finish the game with it if you want to. I love the viper (used to play Falcon 4 BMS) and I basically haven't "upgraded". The game is good enough to teach you about simple air combat manoeuvres and how dogfighting works. The AI can put up a challenge and combat resembles to me a bit of what a ww2 pilot would imagine jet combat would look like. I would like a bit more energy management but just yesterday I found myself fighting against an "ace" and got into rolling scissors with him where I was able to use the Viper's much better roll rate to shoot down the large Flanker. And the game runs like butter and is fucking gorgeous... Honestly I just get on the cockpit view and climb as high as I can and just enjoy the scenery. Beautiful game. And that soundtrack... Damn...
