Finally finished Ace Combat 4, 5 and 0 which many fans considered to be the holy trinity of AC games. If I were to rank it, I'd say 5>0>4. Generally speaking, these games are pretty much the same gameplaywise but I really like having 3 wingmen in AC5. Plus, there are more mission variety and memorable moments in that game too. The story and dialogues in these games are alright, nothing mindblowing but goddamn, listening to the enemies' reaction when seeing the protagonists on the battlefield and calling them the Ribbon, Razgriz and Demon Lord never gets old and definitely fulfilled the power fantasy promised by the developers.

Next on my list is to check out the PSP title, replay AC7 (now that I'm more familiar with the world of Strangereal) and maybe try to emulate the PS1 games, if I feel like it.
