"Does the color of the sky mean anything special to you? It does to me. Whenever I look up, the sky in my dreams is a deep, dark blue." I love all music related to being a fighter pilot in games. I wish I had gotten into Ace Combat at a younger age, so I could fully appreciate every bit of what made the music so special for all four of the most famous games in the franchise.
I got into ace combat when I was six. My first game was Ace Combat X, and by sheer luck, it was also my very first game for my PSP, which was also my very first console, and I am quite sure it was my first game in general By the way that's a nice PFP, did you draw it? I was trying to look for it with reverse search
relatable I was only ever able to start with X in the psp then I got into 5 for ps2 for a while was never able to get zero and was too bad at games to play 4.
"We all are angels...though some may have broken halos, we all fly to save more people. We. Are the angels of this sky. Let them know our power, Pilots! Let them see who we are!" I had tears in my eyes when Tournament Of Aces played. There is always a Cipher in the sky, and in our hearts
@@alicorn3924 political science, international relations, philosophy, economics, geopolitics, a bit of everything I guess you can say. The module I was studying for was focused on Thucydides, so heroic music was fitting for the return of Alcibiades to Athens (if you're not aware, look the dude up, he can broadly be understood as a "Razgriz" kinda guy in AC terminology)
I just love how these long mixes often end with a "break for the pilots". The arrangements are simply movies for the ears. And I just love the last song.
nothing beats just closing your eyes and playing a movie beat by beat, scene by scene and plot point by plot point in your head while listening to Lucas's mixes
Every time I listen to your music, I get the overwhelming drive to play Ace Combat or Project Wingman again. You are a genius are blending all this music together.
Was literally just listening to your music on spotify then saw this in my reccomended. Cant wait to listen to all of it, already sounding inspirational as hell!
When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself. First, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns. This time, as a great hero.

And here I thought my day was gonna be dull. This really made it for me-- love everything about this. This rendition of Dance with the Angels is amazing. Edit: I already figured these were good before I even heard them, but now I've heard them all in length. If I get any more chills, my body will turn into one giant goosebump. Awesome stuff.
My intro to the Ace Combat series was Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies. I played it ALL THE WAY THROUGH, in one sitting the night I got it. I teared up and turned about 12 aileron rolls in my F-14D Tomcat as Thunderhead said "All aircraft, follow Mobius One!" And Agnus Dei played. Then....I got Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. Ohhhh, gosh, guys. What a game (still my favorite of all time). I openly sobbed twice as I played that one all the way through, as well. First when we lost Chopper over November City (what a hero!) and second when we lost the Kestrel in the Northern Ocean (and her crew saluted her as she went down - that epic music, woeful and forlorn...oof, it hit hard), especially considering I was a sailor in the Navy myself. Now, I never got to play Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (since it was exclusive to Xbox); but "Liberation of Gracemeria" is tied for first with "Unsung War" for me. Incredible. Life anthems. Not for nothing, by the way. This kid, Lucas Ricciotti has a way of making what is already epic even more so. My favorite "re-do" by him is "Zero" from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. What an INCREDIBLE use of orchestra (in particular the addition of epic brass in the reprise). Lucas...we aces (and nuggets that come after us), salute you, sir!
I'm making a Star Wars dogfighting fangame, It's the first videogame i ever make, and your music really inspires me and helps me stay motivated, and tackle all the difficulties of learning how to make videogames with a smile
I turned 24 a few days ago. Now I feel like a kid again, soaring through Strangereal’s skies after school without a care in the world. Matter of fact, you know what? I’m getting the ladder. Time to break out my old PS2 for another run though the Holy Trinity.
Fly high and protect the skies. Be the Guardian Angel for those who seek to soar through the clouds and beyond the skies! Ace Combat has and will always be the game that makes my ears feel blessed from the music and my mind stressed from the missile alerts.
you should do a mix called "music for gearheads" or something like that with music that sounds like something you'd hear in the hangar in a fighter or mech game
I can offer nothing but the dearest congratulations. I can tell you too have been captured by the dream of flight; you have been to that sacred blue above. Walk with your eyes turned skyward; for there we have been, and there we long to return.
Lucas, could you tell me if there was a particular song that inspired the piano in 'Once there was a hero'?? It sounded so familiar it's driving me nuts.
will you ever upload individual versions of each song? I have a playlist that I use to mix these songs with songs from actual Ace Combat OSTs, as well as top gun music
the transition between the two last songs, just feels weird imo, it goes from somber to cheerful way too quickly, also curious how would a full cover of the top gun anthem sound in your way hands
Just a question: Can you make these songs any more Epic???? I mean, your first versions were awesome on so many scales, and these new ones.... when i heard them, it was beautiful. Especially the Electric Guitar solo in Ghost of Kyiv.... MMMMMMMMM. Keep up the great work!!! Also, i was just wondering, would it be alright if i used your music in the background of my streams?
Lol i love how Ghost of Kyiv is right before Dance with the Angels. A great reminder that the Ghost now has actually become a ghost as he is fortunately dead. Russia supporters rejoice! #IStandWithRussia
You know you could have added Ukrainian mig-29 footage instead of game since there currently at war. Just give support to Ukrainians who’s fighting desperately for their land from the Russians.
Ah. A russo bot in the wild. Just enjoy the music and leave the politics in the trash where they belong. There is nothing embarrassing about making good music. And Lucas seems to agree as he made 3 more tracks.

I regret not getting into ace combat after playing the first two. Sadly I got back into ace combat in AC7. But I snagged the bundle that included AC5

Seeing all the jet flying towards the SE is so cool
This is amazing. Thank you for posting this Lucas!!
My pleasure!
This is literally one of the best things to wake up to!!! Keep it up and love the artwork!!
ive been playing WarThunder with your Mixes since a few days and I think I am a better Pilot now
YOOOO that last track is so funky! I loved the first volume but this is really incredible
just noticed the space elevator moving, amazing detail!
Thank you for this. Now I can have this and vol.1 on loop while I play warthunder :)))
Look forward to flying with you in war thunder
I play it on loop while playing F1 2021, and will use it on F1 22 when it comes out next week
Man listening to this while flying the F-14 is awsome.
@@liamalbers6635
Im a sucker for the razgriz and assault horizon leitmotifs, you did a really great job, love the last song especially.
Holy shit that rendition of Daredevil in Tournament of Aces has my shit rocked, that is excellent
Loved it man, looking forward for your next ones
And somehow, you still outdo yourself always.
Keep up the incredible work, this is some great music.
You are one of a kind Lucas, I'm happy that I found you.

Greetings to all aces out there!
Thanks for the feature! Great work as always!
That artwork is just breathtaking
I remember the day we flew with Aces, This must be fun as I say
Good Job!
thank you, this will go well in DCS
Truly amazing work, please keep it up.

Love the flashing lights looks like the AA guns going off
I think my favorite is biased, but I really love Dance With The Angels the most out of these.
I want this soundtrack played at my funeral ❤
At times, music can tell far more of a story than words
Winter Storm was amazing, gosh
I might tear up just at the intro
I loved vol 1, I'm gonna love vol 2 just as much I can bet
Always great, dude! Keep it up!
Ghost of Kyiv song so good, we made it into our national anthem
why is there only 400+ likes?????????
dude this deserves the world bruh
Thank you very much!
55:08 - SHOWDOWN
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Glad you liked it!
Oh hey, Magic Spear and Showdown! Sweet!
"The Ghost" . . . is epic. If my novella ever gets a screen treatment, (big dreams I know) - I hope they'll let me pick the composer.
Amazing soundtracks
13:08 That top gun surprised me & 16:40
you should do a mix called "music for gearheads" or something like that with music that sounds like something you'd hear in the hangar in a fighter or mech game
13:42 is that the theme from top-gun?
17:27 We need this for AC8 or new AC game
Thanks Brother, I love it
oh man - where is this version of the Ghost of Kyiv theme? its amazing and I need to find it.
You can find it in my album "Soundtrack For Aces, Vol. 2" or search "Ghost of Kyiv (Alternative Version)" on RUclips
just watch top gun maverick, and that movie makes me want to replay ace 5,6,zero, and 7 again
LETS GOOOO
Your music always rocks Lucas
Aircraft related things has best soundtrack, change my mind
Im gonna play Ace Combat and listen to this
man, love the intro
could we get it as its own music upload?

"Men of genius are meteors destined to burn to light up their century"
ace combat is the embodiment of an IGN review. story is clunky and weird gameplay is good with decent control scheme 9.8/10.
2 months and i'm still not over the fact that all sqadrons of summer skies got screentime in the intro except lancer :(
You should join Project Wingman's staff, you know how to make music for games.
05:55 Sam Hyde's theme (cant keep getting away with it)
Lucas, could you tell me if there was a particular song that inspired the piano in 'Once there was a hero'?? It sounded so familiar it's driving me nuts.
I remember! It reminds me of the piano in Avenged Sevenfold's 'Warmness of the Soul'.
Where did you get the art. It's beautiful
It's in the video description
will you ever upload individual versions of each song? I have a playlist that I use to mix these songs with songs from actual Ace Combat OSTs, as well as top gun music
Yes, you can find them in my channel, specifically in the "albums" section
wow..
hold on there was *MORE?*

Pretty embarrassing that somebody made a song and named it after a fake pilot. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess.
