@PROJECT_ACES My most sincere possible request for you is when you have the live orchestrated concerts in either Japan or the USA, please - please please please - have the conductor turn to face the audience and lead them in Song Of Wings, As One.

Ace Combat 8 is the best game I’ve ever played with a unique challenge. This is to ask you to play it if you have not, or if you have to play it in a new way if this wasn’t your default. Even if it isn't your typical genre.
The challenge is how do you handle sincerity.
The overt task is to shoot down enemy jets. Tanks. Ships. Ace Combat does this phenomenally well, and always has to be frank. My first Ace Combat rented from a Picture Show Video was 04: Shattered Skies, and to be fair this overt task was a mirror shine already.
What Ace Combat 8 is asking is different though. It’s in the title, Wings of Theve. The allusions to the Ghost of Kiev are screaming at you. The cutscenes are plentiful, and they want you to lean into this.
It’s easy to dismiss as cheesy. Or to be cynical about the real life parallel. Don’t. Because sincerity becomes one of the most powerful forces media can present.
People nearly twenty years later say Kamina is their hero. And they should, Gurren Lagann is not a serious anime - but it is sincere. Wonderful 101. Cyrano de Bergerac.
They ask you to try and immerse yourself in their world, and for a moment shed the cynicism of this one. And if you indulge them, this sincerity becomes feeling. In a true and powerful way other media can’t do.
In the deluge of [Railgun Warning], <<Coms Chatter out of control.>>, screaming missile alerts, musical masterpieces, of screaming metal you as the player really don’t have to catch every single nuance. It’s not the point if they overlap and you miss something. Just keep doing what you do as Wings. And feel.
The experience is not terribly long, clocking between 15-18 hours. But for that beautiful time, stay open. Ace Combat 8 is being sincere, and is asking you to do the same.
@flyawayn0w I love PW's story. However a post I made earlier is really this in a nutshell. There is something to be for what can be dismissed as camp and cheese. https://t.co/QgwWIZSSF7

@ProjectNEMO_ After playing and streaming Electrosphere a few years ago, and having some great conversations about the world building including refreshing some folks I can't help but implore people:
Go play it. Just go.
