All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
So, after the new trailer, I guess it's all but confirmed that Ace Combat 7 is going to be another AC5 razgriz scenario, where you 'abandon' your home country to fight for your ideals and to stop the war


This picture's been known about and was in the first reveal trailer, I think? There's also a chance that this is "Three Strikes" plane referenced in some of the radio chatter in the last trailer.
In the newest one, you can see this



which kind of heavily implies that the emblem is going to get covered up after some event in game.


drat, people are analyzing every frame of that last trailer.

Hype as gently caress. I've played a ton of 5 and 0. Probably should play through 6 again. I've definitely put the most time in 0, all of those named aces to shoot down, while an absurdly large list, has made me play it through several times to get them.

Did our "hotshot pilot" forget to raise his arrestor hook in the back, or is that something else?

If it's the former, understandable for a demo. If it's the latter, I'm not good at planes.

Lookin' good. I see a flare counter, too. The missiles seemed just as easy to dodge as ever (there might have also been invincibility on?) so I guess maybe that's a panic button.

So after seeing all the trailers up till now I'm fairly certain that you're gonna start out flying for Osea, get shot down over Erusea and taken as a prisoner of war along with pilots from other OADF squadrons (the main narrator of the story trailers and the POW woman with the Three Strikes mark on her face appears to be Brownie) who get pressganged into flying for Erusea at some point. I think 7 is going to be as much The Dirty Dozen as it is Macross Plus.

There's a heavy theme of prison, captivity and punishment running through 7's story for what we've seen of it. What with the emphasis on the POW pilots, "Three Strikes" and the (I'm assuming) Erusian flight lead and/or AWACS calling the squadron "Convicts".

I've got a feeling this is going to be another Ace Combat 5 style plot where neither Osea or Erusea are the real villains and we ultimately end up fighting against Scientist Man and his army of murder drones.


Feel free to quote this post next year if it turns out I'm spectacularly wrong.

Speaking of clouds, I just loaded up AC6 for the first time in almost a year yesterday to try and get the last few medals for the last couple extra plane colors. I don't know if it was always this way or something changed with my television, but it is almost impossible to see *anything* against the clouds in 6, especially when they're the gross yellowish color they so often are in that game.

And Crow, I'm pretty sure all the prison scenes take place in an OADF base (the 444th)

In strangereal, a single good pilot can win every major battle for you and destroy multiple superweapons, so if you capture the enemy's making them fly for you is worth a shot.

So it looks like this is sort of a "sequel" to 4 AND 5, so I wonder if something from 0 will be in there. Obviously if Belka is up to no good again that would probably be secret.

Why Osea and Yuktobania haven't flattened what remains of Belka by this point is a complete mystery to me. I'm reasonably certain no country would object if Osea moved its borders to cover what remains and just went "Belka? Never heard of it." if anyone asked anything.

I can already tell the bloom lighting on the UI is gonna get really loving annoying at some point. Also, why was this game pushed back to 2018? It pretty much looks entirely functional to me. Maybe the scripting in certain sections still isn't finished? I dunno.

I wouldn't put any trust in an E3 demo to judge the completeness of the game-those things are specifically developed to put the game in the best possible light, and it's entirely possible that level is the only one that's in a realistically playable state.
