      From what I remembered it wasn't that it was delayed to make this song but to make the soundtrack more dynamic. The most prevalent example was in this music piece for the drop to happen right when the arsenal bird's shield goes down.

    This piece is exactly as it was called:
    1. It was a last minute addition because Kono wanted something more.
    2. They made it so, not only does the climax match the Arsenal Bird's shields going down, but also to the match the dialogue with it.
    3. This was used on one of the ballsiest moments in the series, specially given how many drones are behind you shooting you down and how massive the Arsenal on the Bird is.
    Truly this piece is a Daredevil.

    Whats even better is that this piece was written as a literal last minute addition to the game. To have this much emotions created in such a short time is what makes Kobayashi my music god. AND this piece sounds even more epic when you listen to it in game with it sync to the dialogue.

    • @warmachine5835
      @warmachine5835 Před 3 lety +15

      I think it's real important to know this at 7:40. I need to find it again but there was another analysis of Ace Combat music and how it relates to the storytelling of Ace Combat. For context, in the game one of the side characters is trying to smash a piece of equipment to bring down the "final" boss' shield, and your wingman is, in cadence with her trying to break the sensors, is shouting at the enemy. The drop is when the equipment finally breaks, and the shield on the boss falls with the rising choir being your signal as the player to go ham and shoot down the boss.
      If you're looking for more examples of this, look into the DLC music for AC7 as well. "Awakening," "Alicorn," and "The Hero of Comberth Harbor" in sequence tell a complete story in the final mission of the DLC.

    Daredevil is probably my favorite track from Ace Combat 7, hands down. Just builds up epically after the saturation attack against the Arsenal Bird failed, everyone is desperate to stay alive long enough to try again as the Arsenal Bird begins wiping out the surface fleet and its drones start picking planes out of the sky, it's shielding preventing any damage from being done. Then it's shield finally drops and the one-woman wail kicks in with everyone declaring that only Trigger stands a chance at bringing the Arsenal Bird down and they have to keep the drones off of him while Trigger goes toe to toe with the Arsenal Bird.

      The arsenal bird is finally vulnerable! There is a chance! We can and we must win!
      Then when you beat the arsenal bird, everything calms down.
      It directly goes together with your adrenaline level, it intensifies your senses, it is truly a great soundtrack.

    One thing that makes Daredevil _even better_ is that it's the sixth(of seven) incarnation of Trigger's theme... The same way Daredevil builds on it's motifs, Daredevil itself is built on the main theme that was set up all the way back in the first mission, and it creates a consistent musical narrative throughout the game.
    Charge Assault represents Trigger's first mission, his "first flight" if you will.
    Dual Wielder represents Trigger gaining experience in his early missions.
    Faceless Soldier represents Trigger taking charge and leading the formation.
    Siren's Song represents Trigger's first time in command of a squadron.
    Battle for Farbanti is in many ways this game's version of Liberation of Gracemeria, it represents Trigger's redemption and the completion of his arc.
    Daredevil is for the final battle.
    and Hush is for the last fight between aces.
    You don't even need to play the game to hear the progression and build-up between these tracks.

  • @samspahr3854

    I was thinking of recommending you react to/dissect some Ace Combat music sometime, as it's a series I only ever tried out and fell in love with BECAUSE of the music, so this is a really pleasant surprise!
    Looking at the rest of Ace Combat 7's catalog, I think it'd be really cool if you could do a video covering songs with multiple variants, like Magic Spear I/II, Enchanter I/II, Last Hope I/II, and Mimic (which has a whopping three versions). It's really fun listening to how the different versions of those songs build and play off of one another, and while Keiki Kobayashi's great, those songs do a fantastic job of showing off the musical chops of two of Ace Combat 7's other composers: Ryo Watanabe and Mitsuhiro Kitadani.
    Either way, really glad to see you helping give Ace Combat more of the recognition it deserves! Keep up the good work!

  • @aveimperia4026

    There are so many tracks from Ace Combat that deserve this treatment. Off the top of my head, I'd pick Zero, Megalith, Archange, Hrimfaxi, Unsung War, and the Awakening/Alicorn/Hero of Comberth Harbor trio, but I'm sure there are many more.
    I'd pick Zero if you like Spanish guitar and Hero of Comberth Harbor if you like sinister choir.

    Hope you do an breakdown analysis on the AC7's DLC Alicorn Phase I,II,III soundtrack, I believe the music for that mission rival's Daredevil and can be also in the Top 10 tracks of Ace Combat's OST, The build-up to finding the mega-submarine under the sea, fighting off the defenses from sea and air from the Alicorn, hearing Torre's monologue, as well as dodging the railgun fire, and when you think it's over, the water starts blasting Latin at you as you have a timer to stop a massive railgun from firing again, Kobayashi's work on this game is something truly amazing and masterclass.

From other Ace Combats, I'm going to throw a curveball and suggest Blue Skies Remix from Ace Combat Infinity. They managed to turn the chill, relaxing theme of Ace Combat 04 into an epic orchestral *explosion.*

    "It feels like every sin I've ever committed in my life is being absolved"
    Considering "sin" and "punishment" is a major theme in Trigger's journey (what with his title 'Three Strikes' referencing him accidentally killing President Harling), that is scarily accurate, and I'm amazed you got that impression just from the music.
