This game is a masterpiece.
Note that the game uses a licensed music track that I was forced to edit out before First Flight and during the credits. If missing 3-4 minutes total of some really generic song in this 7 hour long video is a problem: Sorry. I don't make copyright laws.

This game is also on PS4 and PS5 digitally but was part of a promotional thing for Ace Combat 7 and is no longer available to purchase due to yet more licensing issues.
Fortunately, this game can be played in hardware mode with minimal issue. The clouds are missing, which is a shame because they look really good and the burst missile graphic is a disaster.

I'm not using the interlace hack floating around because it causes the pre-rendered scenes to run at 24 fps. I'm using blend bff because it produces the best overall result in my opinion for the cutscenes out of the interlace methods, at the cost of blurring gameplay.

I played on normal difficulty.
This is segmented and edited. There are no in-mission edits.

It's not possible to complete every mission in a single playthrough. No plans on recording the missions I didn't show.
It's just two missions not shown, though.

Notes
As with Ace Combat 4, the mission replay is slow and missions are long so I skip it.

During White Noise, the location of the objective is randomized.

Fortress, 8492 and Final Option all play back to back with no breaks.

Same deal with Aces and the final mission.
