Take a while to get there, but certainly can be Español.

On the subject, Ace Combat does have an equivalent for Spain.

Sapin. Yeah, that's its name.

What, New Sakura Wars?

No, the last CS platinum trophy. I bought Sakura Wars last year or so, but only recently I finished it. Currently playing AC4.

Is there a "de Cantabria" dynasty in the game or did you edit it? Nice coat of arms if you edited it.

Yep. Also, join Gnip, Ruben and me and play Dragon Age: Origins. It's 70% off rn.

I think I can agree but I don’t really remember the totk wind temple music.

Stormwind Ark (i'm not calling it the Wind Temple, i'm glad the game gave the dungeons a secondary name cause honestly, a pet peeve of mine is when dungeons are just called "___ Temple" if it's used more than once. It's just kinda lame, at least give the preceding word a cool name. Forest Temple is meh, something like Woodfall Temple at least is more creative, anyways where was i, oh right) debatably has two dungeon themes. One when you're doing the God-tier ascend into it and the other when you're actually in the dungeon itself. The dungeon themes are dynamic, they become more "complete" as you progress the dungeon, a trend started by Lorule Castle

There is. The King in the 769 AD startdate is Aurelio of Asturias.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelius_of_Asturias

I kept the dynasty ruling for the entire game period, as it should be.

bro they really just typo'd Antartica. Just like Ys typo'ing Africa by calling it "Afroca".

I likw how the maps sorta resemble those of ours but then they just added a new continent anyways (is it supposed to be Australia?)

Yeah, it's called Strangereal for a reason. It's meant to be an AU Earth, with enough stuff to recognize it... and then some things just flat out different.

Hm? Which one? Usea or Anea (the top-left one)?

Fun fact, this issn't the first version of Strangereal. It's from Ace Combat 5 onwards, but before that, Strangereal looked like this:

Usea got a big upgrade, that's for sure. lol

[Armagon]

8 minutes ago, Sooks said:

Yep. A lot of them you could get there from the ground through the Skyview Towers and then paragliding but there's whole sets where you need to build something to help you get there. Hell, even with the islands you can reach through the Skyview Towers, there's still parts that you can't get to without a flying craft. 

This includes the Great Sky Islands, which you'll want to go back to later.

Although there's two specific ones with waterfalls that lead to/close to it. You'll need the Zora Armor to use that method tho, which you don't have yet.

I like how this song popped off so hard, they put it in the OST but not in the actual game, and didn't give it an actual name.

They should do the same with TotK, i need the definitive version instead of the one where the SFX is edited out (pretty well actually) but you can just faintly hear them sometimes

 

[Sooks]

Oh wait, I remember the approaching Stormwind Ark music. The dive through the storm music is great. But all of phase 3 and on is great

Damn, the storm wind ark has a lot of phases. And the early themes aren’t that good, which makes sense why I don’t remember the music because those would have been the ones that played for the longest. I think the approach and sky dive has better music tbh.

I’ve literally just been using skyview towers.

Tbf the song is also "incomplete" in those early phases.

Just now, Armagon said:

Usea.

Not quite. It's not meant to be analogue to anything... I think. Erusia has some French flair, and lots of Spanish places abound (San Salvacion, Los Canas, Sierraplata, Roca Roja, etc.), and eastern-northeastern Usea has some Nordic flair too I think, so... nah, just its own thing.

Some places are indeed analogues. Anea is meant to be Scandinavia, despite the physical one still being there on that map. Osea is the USA. Yuktobania is the URSS. Belka is Germany. Sapin is Spain. Leasath and Aurelia (and the other unnamed countries there) are South America. Etc.

Just now, Armagon said:

Oh they nuked Africa.

Oh and Usea just drifted to the other side it seems.

It's fascinating, really.

The first four Ace Combat games take place in Usea, and we only ever saw Usea, never the rest of the world. But that world map was in one of Ace Combat 04's promotional images, finally letting us see the entire world.

But then, Ace Combat 5 was the first game to take place out of Usea, and its conflict was on a grander scale (Osea vs Yuktobania... sounds familiar in light of the above?), so it needed to show the entire world. And it seems they took that chance to give Strangereal a little makeover for that. But it's clear they already it in mind, since the old map already has Anea, as well as Leasath-Aurelia, and Osea even if it has a different shape. Curiously the region with Belkan, Sapin, etc. didn't exist yet, considering things.

Nope, its 5 hit/avo per star. But the translators seemed to think it was to affect number of bonds.

Los Canas

This sounded grammatically incorrect to me but then I thought about it as a family name and yeah it works. But only as a family name, you would say "las canas" otherwise.

Yeah. Still, canas, really? Then again, Sapin's capital is Gran Rugido.

Funnily enough, they did had a Cold War era as well.

You see, one big difference about Strangereal is that nuclear weapons are... kinda rare. They do exist, but the first time they were ever used was... well...

Watch them both for the full effect.

So yeah, after that happened, the entire world went "NOPE". Thus, no nuclear weapons proliferation in Strangereal.

There is an alternative, the hoverbike. It's more optimal but harder to get the balance right. Goblin Glider is easier to make.

It is nothing compared to shit like this

This is the most unrealistic part of Ace Combat.

Anyways, i like how the end of the mission captured the dread and confusion after a nuke was set off.

To be fair, nukes would get in the way of giving us full-length wars, specially between superpowers, since MAD would just be invoked. So whenever nukes become relevant, it's to stop their launch or acquisition or the like. But never actually used.

Also being fair, I guess it's also the psyche of it. Using nukes as an offensive weapon is one thing. Using them as a defensive weapon, on their own soil, to create a radioactive "wall" to stop the attacking forces... it's a whole different picture. The videos don't show it, but each nuke was launched at a city as well. 12K dead seems low, but it's likely they ordered the people to evacuate before that happened... I'd hope...

Also also also... it's a Japanese series, so being anti-nuke is... well, to be expected.

You could just make the standard fan plane and add a steering stick.

Problem with the planes is that they disappear after a minute. Useful for short-distance transportation (carrying Shrine crystals and maybe Koroks) but not for long-distance.
