Keiki Kobayashi (composer for Ace Combat) shared this video on his Twitter and it brought a smile to my face:

*achievement unlocked sound*
May I also recommend Mimic.
The choir is also like in MGSV, has the same vibe to it as well.
Please eventually make videos for Zero and Unsung War!!!
You should listen "Megalith Agnus Dei - Ace Combat 4". :)
Fun fact, the game was delayed so that this song could be made. Kono-san said he wanted “one final song with enough emotion to make you cry” and Daredevil, was that song.
I didn't know that! All I can say is objective achieved. I felt chills the first time I heard Daredevil.
zero surprise there. it honestly fills me with pure epicness and emotions when it comes up
Everything about this song just says:
"Fuckin send it."
He made it, i always get the goosebumps and my eyes water a bit.
From what I remembered it wasn't that it was delayed to make this song but to make the soundtrack more dynamic. The most prevalent example was in this music piece for the drop to happen right when the arsenal bird's shield goes down.
"Kinda makes me feel like every sin in my life is being absolved"
IF ONLY YOU KNEW THE CONTEXT OF THE STORY
Trigger after the drone shot down Harling:
"O H N O"
Sounds like someone needs to reflect on their sins...
in S O L I T A R Y
S A L V A T I O N
Not just the story of the lore, but of the franchise itself. From the fall into Assault Horizon, the failure of Joint Assault, to the last ditch cash grab of Infinity which led many to believe the entire franchise would end with it, to the redemption and wild success of 7.

looks like we are doom doomed to watch from below
This piece is exactly as it was called:
1. It was a last minute addition because Kono wanted something more.
2. They made it so, not only does the climax match the Arsenal Bird's shields going down, but also to the match the dialogue with it.
3. This was used on one of the ballsiest moments in the series, specially given how many drones are behind you shooting you down and how massive the Arsenal on the Bird is.
Truly this piece is a Daredevil.
Also.. that Triangle was MVP..
i feel he should also listen to "Ten millions relief plan" or "anchorhead raid"
The player/Trigger is a 'Daredevil' for making twenty or so passes at Arsenal Bird in that mission.
The track is named Daredevil because it refers to the operation's name, Operation Daredevil. Similar to Dragon Breath from Stonehenge Defensive, Operation Dragon Breath, or Werewolf or Dual Wielder.
Also, 444 likes, solitary for you.
@@verticalflyingb737 daredevil because it was hot to compose the song and to add it to the game before the deadline
Whats even better is that this piece was written as a literal last minute addition to the game. To have this much emotions created in such a short time is what makes Kobayashi my music god. AND this piece sounds even more epic when you listen to it in game with it sync to the dialogue.
I think it's real important to know this at 7:40. I need to find it again but there was another analysis of Ace Combat music and how it relates to the storytelling of Ace Combat. For context, in the game one of the side characters is trying to smash a piece of equipment to bring down the "final" boss' shield, and your wingman is, in cadence with her trying to break the sensors, is shouting at the enemy. The drop is when the equipment finally breaks, and the shield on the boss falls with the rising choir being your signal as the player to go ham and shoot down the boss.
If you're looking for more examples of this, look into the DLC music for AC7 as well. "Awakening," "Alicorn," and "The Hero of Comberth Harbor" in sequence tell a complete story in the final mission of the DLC.
I took this literally the first time I finished the game. Skip to minute 9:30 and listen for about 30 seconds. This is how it feels in game. (Sorry for the bad audio, it was my first time doing that mission, i had no idea, othereise I would have lowered the SFX volumes)
ruclips.net/video/ku-shKVF_Rc/видео.html
@@warmachine5835 that moment gave me straight chills. That's how you know the fucking did it right.
I agree the hero of Comburth harbor is really good
If you ever wonder how good is Ace Combat music is, him pausing and skipping between clip of Daredevil are enough of a torture for me.
Same
First time listening to it and it is really annoying how he pauses right before the next big hit in the track.
Consider it necessary evil to explain why the Daredevil slaps so hard
Yap! But someone have to make the
dirty work and this man made it right!
I love his comments, but this is extremely frustrating hearing that music being cut like that xD
Talk about teasing lol
Ace Combat is notorious for having an AMAZING soundtrack! if you also like less bombastic, more iconic 90's fighter pilot rock music, you should check out Ace Combat 2's OST. preferably track number 16: Fire Young man. great video my dude, loved your reaction and analysis of the track. keep it up! :D
Tbag likes ac? Redpilled af
@@NOIDEDU been playing since the first one on PS1 ;)
Like A Phoenix Rising/Gravity from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (Which is a 3DS remake of Ace Combat 2 and completely unrelated to Ace Combat: Assault Horizon despite the name) is both cheesy and awesome. It's a song basically bragging about how Phoenix/Scarface One is unbeatable and anyone that goes up against him is doomed to fail.
Omg! AC2 got me started!
Oh, hey Tbag! Love you bro
I’m disappointed you didn’t cover the tempo and the accompanying lyrics of the full version.
It really is integral to the full experience as changes are timed to in game events. If you’re unfamiliar with how it goes it’s something like this:

Finally Ace Combat gets the musical recognition it deserves! While I would have loved to see you review "Zero" instead, I am still happy to see the AC video from you. Kobayashi is such an amazing composer, I ADORE how he uses choir and voices in his music.
Zero is my favorite track from AC because of those spanish guitars.
I think I'll definitely talk about it someday, for the time being, I recommend anyone to watch @8-bit Music Theory's video on Ace Combat, where he talks about Zero at length!
It definitely taught me something new: ruclips.net/video/kT_kojcfIX8/видео.html
I'll definitely check out 8-bit music theory s video!
Gotta admit, my old roommate, a professional music teacher and orchestral composer, also loved the music of the Ace Combat series!
Alex Moukala Music Man, do a Zero from AC Zero please, that’s basically the upper limit of my understanding towards video game music.
Ace Combat has too many good tracks, Agnus Dei, The Unsung War, Zero, Alicorn, the list goes on
@@AlexMoukalaMusic dont forget Liberation of Gracemeria and Agnus Dei-Megalith too buddy,
"Ace Combat music has no right being this good. My God."
Wait until you discover the OST for the Holy Trinity of AC (4, 5, and 0)
Oh just got to the part where he recommends 5 and 0 lol.
Again, no love for Ace Combat 2 and 3, they also have their fair share of epic music :(
@@Spy_ro95 3 was the best for me, virgo, floe and turbulence with defiled
@@Massakre8492nd Yeah, i like quite a few of Ace Combat 3 including: Frozen Soul, Execution, Transparent Blue and even the menu music^^
Agnus Dei (Monolith) from AC04 is masterpiece as well
Daredevil, Faceless Soldier, Battle for Farbanti, Archeange, Magic Spear I/II and many many more. These are some of my favorite tracks in gaming and I was more than pleasantly surprised that every single track in AC7 was absolutely fire.
Edit: also FIRST apparently?
Kobayashi (main music composer for the AC series) is god like with music. His magnum opus is still Zero from AC Zero. Daredevil comes close to it.
I'm a sucker for the beginning of Enchanter personally
*Edit: Hush is also lovely. Megalith is king.
I listen to Magic Spear 1/2 on a daily basis
Font forget drag racer
Yinshi Valley is a banger
Funfact: Every single Ace Combat game has a good soundtrack, even Assault Horizon (the black sheep) and the mobile only Northern Wings do
Speaking of mobile games, Yugioh Duel Links has some ridiculously good soundtrack, and I wish more people outside of the Yugioh comunity gave it a try
Does that include the sequel before Keiki Kobayashi become the producer such as the underrated Ace Combat 3?
Yeah Ace Combat 2 is really good although AC1 is just alright
The only good thing about assault horizon was the music lol.
I love the AH soundtrack. Even if you don't like the game the soundtrack is good
"OH MY GOD ANGRY BOATS"
Thanks, now I'll never be able to unhear that.
Lol
Fittingly enough, in my experience enemy ships seem to shoot me down the most in Ace Combat, moreso than enemy fighters
Steve mc I’ve died to a single ship in the Battle for Farbanti more than I’ve died to Mister X
@@stevemc6010 well for me is Yolo the Carrier in mission 10(seriously, that thing have a lot of health and CIWS)

Alright
That's something.
understood
I cannot hear this song without repeated "missile" in the back of my head
Youshihunter Gaming fucking Arsenal bird and it’s 1000000 AAMs
Either that or the amount of uav's it launches with AAM capabilities. But overall... the Arsenal Bird is just a giant flying turkey with a bad temper
@@annamills7560 that turkey was still painful because i didnt know how to hit the lasers for 20 minutes and learned later you didnt need to kill it
The absolution feel makes sense since in the game you play a pilot who failed to save the President during a rescue op and wrongly thought to have been the one that shot him down. Getting sent to a penal squadron for the that.
They're pardoned by the time this song plays but now Trigger (the player) is also finally able to do something to make up for the failed rescue.
From wrongfully accused and prosecuted to saving the world.
Guns only trigger must have been pissed about that
Whenever I break down orchestral music, I could end up talking for hours about every single detail.
I'm trying to keep things simple here though because these videos are made for casual music listeners in mind.
However, if you're a composer and want to learn more about Orchestration in detail, I have an entire RUclips channel where I've been teaching orchestration for several years: ruclips.net/user/alexmoukala
The choir was humming the ace combat theme motif by the way. It's meant to bring you back home, it's welcoming you back to ace combat, and then it drops you in to the new generation with the boom and string ostinato.
@@KlausVolfield holy shit. For people who grew up playing the series, it must've been one of the biggest goosebumps of their lives.
Sadly AC is not my type of game so I am in the dark there as I never played it, but boy do I love the music.
@@AlexMoukalaMusic Then i would like to recommend if you have time to check the Rebirth BGM from Ace Combat Assault Horizon, it does the similar playful motif Ace combat theme thing in a very arabian/black hawk down type feel.
And the choir at 8:10 that blew you away was also a slight "motif" if you can call it that to the Ghosts of Razgriz and their legacy in the other ace combats , and then at 8:40 in your video, it lets you go.
You're officially in the new ace combat. From then on, all of the new music is "new", until you get to old series callbacks. It was good, really good man.
@@KlausVolfield Growing up on the series, that theme will forever bring up images of the sky. Dark blue...
Dude, you'll lose your shit listening to She Rules The Battlefield, a track from the Heaven's Feel pt.2 movie.
Ace Combat is not a game...
*_It's an experience_*
shocking but true. Every ace combat game is made this way. I can't put it in words but its more than just a game. In many ways, it is art. That composer throws his soul into it and honestly, ought be up there with Mozart and Beethoven.
"Im gonna end up spending like 10 hours on this video"
No, please do. Not even kidding. Make me love this OST even more.
Yes. Please. Ten hour version please
Megalith Agnus dei from AC4
The Unsung War from AC5
Zero from AC0
The Liberation of Gracemeria from AC6
Daredevil/ Archange from AC7
These amazing theme soundtrack through out the entire Ace Combat series all composed by Keiki Kobayashi, just EPIC!
Daredevil was one of those songs in Ace Combat that made you put everything you had into the mission. It was so perfect to have this playing while dodge all the fucking missiles to take out the arsenal bird.
Someone's playing on NOVICE and it's "TRIGGER"ing me.
Anyway it's good to see Keiki Kobayashi's work is getting noticed.
You should see what 5 and Zero are like...
Belkan Wizard don’t say that name
@Belkan Wizard fuck novice controls
All my homies hate novice controls
Yo buddy, still alive
Thinking about getting in contact with FBI to put novice users on a watch list.
5 got so many epic song that I can't count them.
Sea of Chaos
SOLG
Winter Storm
First Flight
SO MANY.
Daredevil is probably my favorite track from Ace Combat 7, hands down. Just builds up epically after the saturation attack against the Arsenal Bird failed, everyone is desperate to stay alive long enough to try again as the Arsenal Bird begins wiping out the surface fleet and its drones start picking planes out of the sky, it's shielding preventing any damage from being done. Then it's shield finally drops and the one-woman wail kicks in with everyone declaring that only Trigger stands a chance at bringing the Arsenal Bird down and they have to keep the drones off of him while Trigger goes toe to toe with the Arsenal Bird.
Yeah kinda. The first part is quite sad. This is the end, there is no way to win
Then the shield is broken and we reach the climax, a long climax!
The arsenal bird is finally vulnerable! There is a chance! We can and we must win!
Then when you beat the arsenal bird, everything calms down.
It directly goes together with your adrenaline level, it intensifies your senses, it is truly a great soundtrack.
@@mrsaxophone4765 if you all Felt that with this
Then y'all might have a Heart attack with the ACTUAL good ones XD
@@mrandrossguy9871 I am making an analysis of what the music transmits. What osts are you refering to?
How about the track MOBILE ARMOR from Gundam Unicorn? Or the Unicorn's theme itself. Gundam Unicorn has some absolutely wonderful tracks.
Omg yes
Hype and chills are a given since Hiroyuki "Hype-Man" Sawano did the Unicorn soundtrack 😆
@@Chas-OTE vigilante is 🔥
Unicorn and IBO music for sure
I personally think Sinanju would be better
Capt. Matias Torres's music:
"Daredevil? more like S A L V A T I O N ."

Torres: You don't see it do you? Imagine...Salvation. The death of a million is a necessity. Ha ha ha ha ha.

They’re protecting the holy li- wait, what was I doing again?
You see, as an very small time Ace of the Ace Combat community, it’s stuff like this that makes the series even more incredible for us. The story mixed into the incredible music and scenes takes your breath away.
To all those who didn’t vote for him to make an Ace Combat video, see what you would’ve missed?
i reccomend alex 6month ago but lost to persona
Best soundtrack in Ace Combat Series :

Megalith also bangs
Loved the analysis your channel really exposes and dissects a lot of music that I enjoy so it's awesome to see what comprises all of these great tracks! I'd love more deep dives on Ace Combat 7's OST-- it has no right being as amazing as it is.
By the way, the only time I was this early, Three Strikes was still in flight training.
You should have it with some footage from Mission 19: Lighthouse, that "dehdehdehdehdehdeh" would show up at a very decisive moment in the game. Generally speaking, up the feel to the eleven.
When a 3000ft wingspan drone that's been causing problems since the start finally gets it comeuppance.
Plus Trigger just shoots a missile in the gut burning it to a crisp
Wait until you hear the drop in Faceless Soldier.

"Form up on Trigger. Nice and tight!"
The algorithm just kinda sent me here,
But I gotta say watching this guy nerd out over how cool the music is really brightened my morning. You definitely got a sub from me.
you should react to Unicorn by Sawano Hiroyuki from Gundam
Still waiting for some La-Hee analysis.
hahahaha! NOOO!
Can't ever have enough LA HEE in your life.
You mean Laᴴᵉᵉ
Keiki Kobayashi is a god tier composer. That is all.
You should look at the tracks “Sol Squadron” and “Archange” if you’re going to continue going over AC7 tracks
Ace Combat Zero "The Round Table"... That, my guy!
Its criminal how video games have some of the most amazing pieces of art (music, writing, artstyle, etc.) in all of media but their merits are only celebrated within the industry itself.
You should review Project Wingman "Showdown"
I really wanna see him react to Mass Effect 3 Leaving Earth. That song honestly perfectly encapsulates that game and the main enemy and its beautiful. It manages to give the since of terror and loss at the same time. Honestly a masterpiece.
If anyone haven't, you should definitely watch "How Rhythm Drives The Music Of Ace Combat" by 8-bit Music Theory .
It's always fascinating to watch somebody nerd the hell of something they love.
I cant remember the last Ace Combat I played but so good. I just remember "Yo Buddy, Still Alive?". Good childhood times for me.
It's Ace Combat Zero
@@KuroganeKeith Cue the Spanish guitar!
@@jocax188723 here comes the snow
bandai namco composers are just on another level
I remember the moment arsenal bird's shield went down and that sick climax dropped
and I was like woah woah woah woah woah WOAH
I cannot recommend Anchorhead Raid and Mimic from the Ace Combat 7 DLCs enough. Anchorhead Raid has just an incredible fusion of orchestral elements and electronic beats. Mimic on the the other hand has a unique layered style to it where its actually two songs placed on top of each other and one half drops away after a specific enemy is shot down.
There are so many tracks from Ace Combat that deserve this treatment. Off the top of my head, I'd pick Zero, Megalith, Archange, Hrimfaxi, Unsung War, and the Awakening/Alicorn/Hero of Comberth Harbor trio, but I'm sure there are many more.
I'd pick Zero if you like Spanish guitar and Hero of Comberth Harbor if you like sinister choir.
He wasn't reaaaaadyy!!! 😅
"OMG angry boats!" 🤣🤣🤣. But foreeal best track. AC4: last mission Megalith. Track: Rex Tremende. I will never forget that as long as I live. ❤
One thing that makes Daredevil _even better_ is that it's the sixth(of seven) incarnation of Trigger's theme... The same way Daredevil builds on it's motifs, Daredevil itself is built on the main theme that was set up all the way back in the first mission, and it creates a consistent musical narrative throughout the game.
Charge Assault represents Trigger's first mission, his "first flight" if you will.
Dual Wielder represents Trigger gaining experience in his early missions.
Faceless Soldier represents Trigger taking charge and leading the formation.
Siren's Song represents Trigger's first time in command of a squadron.
Battle for Farbanti is in many ways this game's version of Liberation of Gracemeria, it represents Trigger's redemption and the completion of his arc.
Daredevil is for the final battle.
and Hush is for the last fight between aces.
You don't even need to play the game to hear the progression and build-up between these tracks.
Thank you so much Alex! This is awesome!!!
Sir? SIR? Thank you for this!
I have never even heard of this franchise or even this song previously and now, I just can't get enough of it! Thank you so much for giving your thoughts on this track!❤
Harling: *dies*
Squadron: "IDK, Trigger seems really sus."

Ace Combat 7 is best played at volume setting [Neighbors complaining]
The fact that this game didn't even get a nomination for best soundtrack is criminal, kobayashi didn't deserve to get robbed like that.
Ace Combat Zero ost “Zero” and Ace Combat 4 ost “Agnus Dei”.
Definitely a must listen for us, AC fan. And one of the most beautiful ost from Ace Combat 5, “Journey Home” and “Into the dusk”.
Also, if you feelin a lil funky, “Rage & Scream” from AC7 dlc
It’s a shame you can’t hear the music in the game over MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE
The MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE, that's the lyrics, right?
Yooo, let him hear the holy trilogy of 'Awakening', 'Alicorn', and the game version of 'Hero of Comberth Harbour'.
Salutem Omnibus!
Finally, my dude, you did Ace Combat.
"That is some serious firepower. I for one was not expecting that." - Count witnessing the load of bull the Arsenal Bird was carrying
Anyone else irritated that the person who recorded the gameplay is using easy controls
Bro facts
Might be a journalist.
Ya know, a kind of people who thinks games should be so easy that you don't need tutorial to win the game
Hearing such an insightful analysis of music gives me an ever greater appreciation for them! Thanks for such great videos!
Can you do a video on Slave knight gael ost from dark souls 3?
Wouldl ike to recommend some tracks from Granblue Fantasy (or Versus), since god DAMN does it have some good stuff. Nobuo Uematsu worked on it for a while, and hes referred to Tsutomu Narita, the main composer, as essentially his successor. Some tracks I'd recommend are Platinum Sky, Wings of Terror (the Versus version of the track is the best rendition imo), Zero (bit long but still super good), In This Narrow, Small World, or the classic, Paradise Lost
_Give praise for he has no equal_
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
First you capture my interest with XIV and now you get my attention with AC? MY MAN YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE! I heartily recommend taking a look at the DLC track "Enchanter 1", it's my favourite in the game bar none. From other Ace Combats, I'm going to throw a curveball and suggest Blue Skies Remix from Ace Combat Infinity. They managed to turn the chill, relaxing theme of Ace Combat 04 into an epic orchestral *explosion.*
Enchanter I is hella good yeah, I also wanna see a breakdown of Mimic because that song is chaotic and without taking the tracks apart from the files it's pandemonium lol
Blue Skies (Infintiy Remix) is an epic piece.
I stopped everything I was doing the moment I saw the thumbnail. I love this song so much. Always love hearing your thoughts 😁
Hope you do an breakdown analysis on the AC7's DLC Alicorn Phase I,II,III soundtrack, I believe the music for that mission rival's Daredevil and can be also in the Top 10 tracks of Ace Combat's OST, The build-up to finding the mega-submarine under the sea, fighting off the defenses from sea and air from the Alicorn, hearing Torre's monologue, as well as dodging the railgun fire, and when you think it's over, the water starts blasting Latin at you as you have a timer to stop a massive railgun from firing again, Kobayashi's work on this game is something truly amazing and masterclass.
He wants to talk Dark Souls music? Can't wait to hear a professional assessment of Gwyn's theme.
With a followup Video about the Soul of Cinders Theme? :D
If you like music theory, then check out 8 Bit Music Theory's video on Dark Souls, it's very good!
i prefer Midir Theme
"It feels like every sin I've ever committed in my life is being absolved"
Considering "sin" and "punishment" is a major theme in Trigger's journey (what with his title 'Three Strikes' referencing him accidentally killing President Harling), that is scarily accurate, and I'm amazed you got that impression just from the music.
unsung War is one of the best musical themes ever made.
Can you believe that Ace Combat/Keiki Kobayashi didn't even got nominated at the VGA?? It's almost a crime not to nominate it for Soundtrack.
I’m so glad this popped into my recommended feed, jfc. I cried all over again.
good lord y'all on patreon gotta convince him to do sol squadron + archange.
or zero
Alex how do you do this? I JUST bought Ace combat 7 like a week ago and finished the story like yesterday(plus dlc) and now this pops in my feed.
Namco has a lot of really talented composers. If you ever take requests, I suggest looking into Lineage of Destiny from SoulCalibur VI. That's composed by Rio Hamamoto who's also done work on Ace Combat (like the Dogfight theme from AC: Assault Horizon).
I was thinking of recommending you react to/dissect some Ace Combat music sometime, as it's a series I only ever tried out and fell in love with BECAUSE of the music, so this is a really pleasant surprise!
Looking at the rest of Ace Combat 7's catalog, I think it'd be really cool if you could do a video covering songs with multiple variants, like Magic Spear I/II, Enchanter I/II, Last Hope I/II, and Mimic (which has a whopping three versions). It's really fun listening to how the different versions of those songs build and play off of one another, and while Keiki Kobayashi's great, those songs do a fantastic job of showing off the musical chops of two of Ace Combat 7's other composers: Ryo Watanabe and Mitsuhiro Kitadani.
Either way, really glad to see you helping give Ace Combat more of the recognition it deserves! Keep up the good work!
Okay but now where's zero? Damn
It's been about 2 years since AC7 came out and I've lost track of how many times I've listened to Daredevil.
It STILL gives me chills.
Why is Alex showing gameplay from the intro stage?
Daredevil becomes even more amazing in context. It plays during the fight against the last Arsenal Bird, which the game has been building up as the final boss in its last act. In the beginning of the fight, it has a protective force field impenetrable to all attacks. The shield occasionally goes down for a few seconds, but that only gives you a small window of time to do a quick hit and run attack, because when the shield goes back up it's an instakill. (Not technically, but you take so much damage inside the shield it might as well be.) And while the shield is a pain in the ass, you also have to deal with a veritable cloud of drones flying around you, not to mention the Arsenal Bird's own weapons. Eventually, though, someone manages to disable the Arsenal Bird's main power source, and the shield goes down permanently, letting you finally go all-in on the attack. Try to guess which point in the music that moment is timed to. (It's the part that plays when the special thanks scroll appears.)
You should check Ace Combat Zero tracks Glatisant and Merlon, they're pretty aesthetic and a nice mix of electronic and orquestral music put together.
Hell, every AC soundtrack is aesthetic in some way.
For instance:
Ice Cage and First Flight (AC5), Blockade and Emancipation (AC4).
Yes! please make videos about Zero and Unsung war, also would recommend listening to 'Megalith Agnus Dei' from Ace Combat 4 ( ruclips.net/video/dZBoiW460nU/видео.html )
I’ve loved the Ace Combat series since the release of Joint Assault, and I must say it feels strange to hear a RUclipsr I like talk about it. Daredevil was an absolutely great track, but since AC6 is my favourite game, I have to say that “Through The Heart Of A Nation” is my absolute favourite. Strigon Team is also my favourite enemy squadron of the series.
This music was so epic that actually made me play the game better, because I was so worried about being shot down and losing that amazing climax moment that I actually managed to finish the Arsenal bird with 99% dmg on my plane.
I really want you to listen to "Hush" from AC7. End of the story duel for the end of the war soundtrack. By far one of if not my favorite track from AC7
this is the first video I watched here on your channel, and I'm impressed how you just like whatever you did at 3:00 damn
Every time I listen to this track, every time, hairs stand up all over my body, it's so intense. Wonderful analysis.
Subbed! Alex, what keyboard are you using? I'm looking for the exact same one.
Awwww yeah! Our boy came through!
There are many OSTs I only know about because of the game they were made for. Ace Combat is the only game series I can think of which I would not have tried were it not for its soundtracks.
This made me buy the game. Wish me luck boys, it's my first ace combat game.
Its a joy to play. The dogfights and music. So good.
I'd love you to review AC5's the unsung war, white bird ii and some of the naval battles' songs like rendezvous
That's it. This made me want to play the game again. Gonna re-install it.
Loved the video, I would love to see you react to the Generation zero main theme music if you want 😊
There's no words to describe my happiness because of this video. If there wasn't AC in my childhood - there wouldn't be myself as me right now. And not by the last because of music. That means something.
For me, many tracks and especially lighthouse and daredevil are like "i went this far, i fought hard and now i am at a turning point, its either all in or go home - and the pilot turns in hard at 8G and dives into the hellfire".... i feel like that must have been what a ww2 pilot saw when he was flying up high seeing a enemy formation and getting the order to attack. - yet with all that violence they keep a sense of beauty and ... distance from the carange going on around you. Dunkirk also managed to give that feeling in a different vibe with the air combat scenes.... and im glad that finally game designers realized again how important music is to convey a feeling / scene.. in my opinion they are more than half the formula that makes a good scene.
Assault Horizon has great music aswell, Dogfight, Shall Defend.
At least something about that game was good.
*Okay so we have a fighting plane video game, what kind of music should do the trick ?*
Bruh you should do Gator Panic (From AC7 DLC, is a rearrange of Tango Line from AC4)
From AC7VR, actually!
@@aleseaux Right, which was DLC
@@shawnrotolo-griffis7181 It's not necessary to download separate material to play the VR campaign.
This is the first time the youtube algorithm works for me.
