this is ghost in the shell but with planes. if you play the ace combat games in order shit starts getting crazy with this one. multiple paths and endings to go through, anime ass story and characters everywhere, theres a cult that tries to turn people into planes or something. Wack stuff but I absolutely dig it. The gameplay is also the best here out of all the PS1 ace combats, the graphics are some of the best I have ever seen on PS1, and the OST has that namco techno vibe that we all know and love from this era. MAKE SURE TO PLAY THE JAPANESE VERSION SINCE THE US VERSION CUTS OUT A WHOLE DISC OF CONTENT AND PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE STORY. JP version is even fan translated too!
