Final Mission: The Valley of Kings + Zero (Ace Difficult) - Ace Combat Zero

Dammit now I need to find an emulator for this game. I don’t have a PS2 anymore.

damn

This game was great

Members of "The Broken Hearts Club":

We will carry out the new creation of life through the power of hatred against romance. Melodramas... Love songs... Romance novels... all will be erased, burned and forgotten. This is the new state 'A World With No Love' we'll create. Neither romantic dates, none Valentines will haven't meaning. We will erase this unnecessary feeling for good. "The World With no Love" will pen a new story. The world will change.

I dont care that ive already 100% all 3 of the PS2 games the NEED to be remastered. Idc if they are $60 each id still buy those masterpieces (ac6 can be included too idk it wasnt actually that bad)

There is a gallery of downed enemy planes with their files but I am missing files to complete the list. Finished the game several times in the 3 soldier, mercenary and knight styles?

It occured to me, while you was flying un the skies durung Ace Combat , Pixy is still somwhere looking, fighting, smiling for "Buddy" at the same time. Given he is an old man, byt uf Mikhai can still fly his plane as he was, so can Pixy.

Guy even used F15-C. Canon Event

Pixy's dialogues in the final fight are just... wow.
This game was a masterpiece.

I feel AC Zero:TBW is like the MGS2 of the series, best game in the series but underrated for some reason.

"Steel Haze" Rusty would like a word

I was horrified when PJ went down and thought the game was over and then I played the most epic boss fight of all time! IT NEVER GETS OLD!

It's nice to see Pixy made his way into Armoured Core 6 as Rusty

It´s nice to se him later on armored core 6

I think what makes Ace combat stand apart from everything else is the Music and the Radio drama. If you took those out, it would be a serviceable if arcadey fighter game. But with them, it's elevated to something legendary.

The X generation had Ace Combat, the zoomer boomer flash kids had Strike Force Heroes. Same kids of endings

Watched the documentary by timmm just now. This was exactly what he was talking about

I wish someone did a remaster with better graphics, seeing this battle in 4k quality would be outstanding

How extremely anti-war this series is… especially with all of the nextgen aerial combat/mass destruction that occurs. This series is beautiful. An underrated masterpiece that I’m surprised hasn’t gotten a Netflix anime series done on it yet. Or at least a horribly done live-action movie.

Ace Combat Zero was based.

Once a traitor, always a Traitor, that applies for Solo Wing Pixy

To this day, AWACS going “Demon Lord of the Round Table, I pray for your success” makes me tear up

Just imagine if they gave Cipher the F-22 Raptor...

Zero needs a Remake!

i remeber playing this i did it 2 times in the first try i died 10 times

I've only been playing AC7 (which I love), but intrigued a lot by Zero. Watched a few videos of it and to my surprise, the final fight is much more tamed yet normal than in AC7. Only scissoring along (idk how hard it is though as the player) getting face to face with one another. Now I understand why Mihaly is a fresh of breath air as a main enemy because what he does mimics what the main player usually does. The movements are kinda bs for sure, but that what we do right?

On the other hand, Zero has a much more superb writing to hype up.. everything. Not just the hero, but practically almost everyone. For some reason, again, never having been playing the Zero, the "yo buddy, still alive" gives me goosebumps. The buildups is perfect.

PJ did the most rookie mistake, talking about future plans with loved ones during a battle

I wasn't paying attention and was just flying through the valley slowly then I heard the "8 planes left!" bruh the adrenaline kicked in so hard at that point

The whole Cipher vs Pixy duel is really reminding me of Toreador vs Bull situation. The music, the attacking from the front, and his red-painted plane really set in that impression for me.

this game uscks'

"yo, Buddy. still alive? and thanks, friend, see you again."

the iconic line.

its actually how comical how pj appears to just get shot in front of the player while nothing is said. nothing unusual about your squadmate being reduced to atoms

pixy: I had helped turn cipher zero into one-hundred his sin was mine and for that reason I'm taking it upon myself to start over from scratch that's what v2 is for

As for me, I believe that there's a high chance of Cipher and Phoenix (Scarface Tactical Squadron) being the same person. That several months after his disappearance, is very much linked to the first operation in air combat (Acecombat 1), during the Skully islands insurrection. Later, after the events in Acecombat 2, he went on training pilots for IUN, before the events of Ulisses fall and a little longer after that before retiring for good.

There are good reasons for his moving to another continent. He was probably on the death list of many people, still bitter with him ( and he knew that very well too), probably should be investigated in the future for the events in hoffnung campaing, and a new job as a sldier for hire; and maybe a way to escape his past.

Mobius one is his most possible disciple and alumni, some sort of redemption from his"Demon Lord" legacy ( He has something to fight for beyond the money).

This is why we see him facing Mobius one as the last boss in the SP mission "The gauntlet". It's "dream mode" (or maybe a nightmare) where Cipher is facing his demons, he people he has defeated/killed, and his final legacy.

And this is one of the reasons of why we see Pixy in Delarus, 2 months after the events of Acecombat 4.

I imagine the most likely scenario and chain events from it all:

- Cipher went to Usea as a merc again, fought in both wars (skully island insurrection and the coup d'etat), continued as a flight and combat instructor and retired. Mobius one is the first generation after him, fought in he continetal war, became a legend himself and somehow went to Osea as a flight instructor too ( probably his fame reached there overseas), trained Blaze probably in some flight and combat lessons, and finally, Blaze most probably trained three stripes (the 2nd and 3rd generation so far).

Ah yes the magical ECM defense system

"Mission accomplished cipher. C'mon, let's go back home. We wouldn't want to keep anyone waiting for you."

I feel so bad for PJ, they did him dirty

that moment when you meet a skilled player in war thunder but can't remember his nick

PJ got done dirty

I have never played an Ace Combat game as I never thought I would enjoy them and I have watched very few videos on it, but this was still recommended to me and I decided to watch it out of complete boredom. The way the game makes you go head on like fucking jousting with the enemy who I assume is the final boss while playing crazy Spanish flamenco music is absolutely fucking raw and awesome. I love it and now I want to start playing these games

wow I remember playing this mission when I was 6. Couldn't finish it because i can't get inside the tunnel without crashing. What can I do im 6

Mannnnnn how can a guy that wants to nuke the world be so wholesome at the same time

When you see a ballistic missile in the sky and you hear Latin guitar playing:
