Thread time!
“The world won't change unless we trust people. Trust is vital for a peaceful world."
"I may not find what I'm looking for, but I still wanna try.”
It's concerning how many people play Ace Combat and all they get out of the games is "haha I love blowing stuff up in my cool plane, war crimes, war crimes, war crimes!"
If people freak out about Ace Combat over this, I am going to laugh so hard.
Ace Combat has ALWAYS basically been anime tier, and had diverse characters since PS2 era.
There's nothing "realistic" about it, and never has been.
Friendly reminder that Ace Combat has, at least since AC3, been:
Highly Political
Critical of war
Critical of nationalism
Critical of discrimination
Celebrant of diversity
Not fucking grounded in reality
Perhaps not all of these things all at once in any game, but still.
