Headcanon that Ciphixy were on their wedding anniversary touring the Usean countryside when the Lighthouse War happened, and they just ignored it & went on. They happened to be at the locations of several missions that trigger was in, casually sightseeing as the fighting happened above their heads.
Also, I usually dislike the little detail that Pixy is Belkan because Come On, not all the bad guys need to be Belkans, but I will make an exception & tolerate it if only to headcanon that Pixy dresses like that guy making funny stereotypical German videos (going on “just a small walk” through the Waldreich mountains that lasted 10 hours is something Pixy has totally done)
Cipher on the other hand,,, life is a runway and the planes are just accessories
(Hc that Phoenix would exclusively sortie with Hawaiian shirts)

Narrative in ACZ
So this time I want to talk about the narrative in ACZ and why I personaly love it. So what I love about ACZ (and the reason why it´s my favourite in the main line series) is how it kinda works like a legend or a fairy tale. What I mean by this is that there is not a single "correct/canon" version of the game. This is possible because the gameplay isn´t actually taking place durring Belkan war. What we are playing is what Brett Thompson´s documentary thinks happened in it. The problem is that he doesn´t really have all the details. The closes he can get to them is Pixy, since he actually knew Cipher more personally and was with him the longest time, the only other people being Eagle Eye and PJ and.... yeah... But even then it´s been 10 years so most Aces will not remember everything. All that remains it´s their emotions and memories about Cipher and the effect that he had on them by shoting them down.
Even Pixy himself isn't really that reliable (It´s funny because he is also partly a narrator of the game with Thompson). Not only did he knew Cipher only up to Stage of Apocalypse, but Cipher literally changed his life by preventing him from launching V2 (and causing all the suffering that he later witnessed on the ground Zero). Cipher in a way saved Pixy, by stoping him from something he could never come back from. So I wouldn't be surprised if Pixy´s view of Cipher probably isn't completely objective. And this ties to Cipher and the Ace system. Cipher isn´t really a character. He is a perfect vessel for player, he is like a rorschach test. He is what ever we want him to be. And this is thanks to the Ace system and how it allows the player to roleplay Cipher how ever the player wants. Do you believe Cipher was a total merc?; Do you think that the Razgriz route is the one for you?; Or do you want a mercenary that becomes a knight but after Pixy´s betrail falls back to his merc ways?; Or maybe you like a knight that becomes merc and after a lot of retrospective after Pixy´s betrayal becomes a soldier? All of these and infinite more are possible. Which is why I kinda hate when some people in the fandom insist that there must be canon route. Because having one defined route would kinda kill all of this. Sure people might still talk about them, but why waste your time on all of these non-canon routes? When merc is totally canon because of AC5? Why try to analyse your story in your own route when the only that matters is the canon one? So why I am bringing this up? Becuase this (infinite interpretation) combine with complete erasure of who or what Cipher did is what makes ACZ acts almost like a legend of fairy tale. Because the only way Cipher can live on is throw the stories of others like Pixy and other Aces. But since it´s been so long nobody will ever trully know how it all went down. Simular thigs happens with fairy tales and legends like Cinderella, there isn´t one true story. In some versions the fairy godmother doesn´t even exist and she got her dresses from hazel nuts. In others there were 3 nights with balls that Cinderella went to. Sometimes she has help from all sotrs of animals others it´s just pigeons. Sometimes her step mother locks her up, other she is given the task to separate peace from ashes perfectly. But still there are some constants, because these constancs are what make it a tale of Cinderella. And same could be said about the Belkan war. Cipher and Pixy will always win in B7R. They will liberate Directus and destroy Excalibur. Pixy will always leave for AWWNB. PJ will always buy flowers for his girlfriends. And Cipher will always fight Pixy in the end. But everything else? We simply don´t know and more importantly can´t know. And that is what is so beautiful to me. Because then the interpretetion of the story and Cipher can be anything you personally believe. And the story doesn´t force you to one interpretation of it. But it encourages you to think about the story and why your version is the one that you like specifically. So yeah this is why I love this game so much and why it´s my favourite in the series. Thanks for reading.
#ace combat#ace combat zero#On another note I love how much the lyrics of Zero fit here#If you don't know they are the same as in Unsung war#and are about Razgriz#to me it´s funny how much the legend of Razgriz fits with Belkan war#again sorry for any grammar mistakes#I swear the only reason why I picked Cinderella is because it was the only fairy tale that was in my mind at the moment#I just hope my rambling is understandable#I kinda always liked arguing in games that do simular thing like Pathologic classic about why my version is the one I agree the most#So seeing how some people kinda push that there must be one canon route kinda bothers me

I’m so glad I played ace combat 0 for the first time this year.
So that I absolutely lost my shit when I played armored core 6 and Rusty was literally the exact same character as solo wing pixy.
Buddy.

Ciphixy - "Don't move or you might get hurt."
#ace combat#ace combat zero#cipher#pixy#Shippy stuff#Ciphixy#This is what keeps Pixy from growing too much of a stubble#HC that this happened post Belkan war and when they found each other again#Cipher's new tatic to make sure Pixy doesn't have wild thoughts about running off again#Involves making sure that Pixy's not thinking straight at all#It works much better than pulling tactical roles and rank#Pixy also knows better than to push his luck again#Shading this was a biatch

I wonder about the premodern history of Strangereal. Was there a Holy Belkan Empire? Was there an Osean Revolution? A Yuktobanian Revolution? What were the nations of Usea like before they united to oppose Erusea? Was there a goofy canvas and wood flying fortress in World War I?

“Wild Oat”
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Height: 5’7”
Age (circa 99 AGW): 18
Aura Density: Low
Aura Reserves: Below Average
Aura Color: Violet
Semblance: Retrocognition
Weapon: Morgan
Jacques Gele's youngest daughter. The oldest among the four Schnee family soap opera girls at Beacon and the leader of team BGEL. She puts up a bitchy and arrogant front in order to cover up her various insecurities, such as the loneliness she feels from how most of her extended family doesn’t want anything to do with her, the sense of abandonment she feels over her parents leaving her with a family friend to actually raise her, the fact that she’s a bastard child, how she feels useless because her Semblance (Retrocognition - the ability to read people’s memories by touching them) has next-to-no practical use in combat, or how she’s the weakest member of her team in both skill and strength. Belka’s weapon is a laser rifle-naginata combo named Morgan that can use specialized, exuberantly expensive Dust cores fuel and modify the attributes of the beams it shoots (such as using an ice dust core to create freeze rays, or a lighting dust core to ionize the beam). She’s unfortunately bullied by the hands of team SLVR, especially Alaska. Belka’s name and weapon of choice are references to the Belkan Federation and the Belkan War from Ace Combat.

"The Belkan War is shrouded in mystery"
"Oh yeah, there's a lot that can't be found in history books"
"However, some of the records have finally been released, and you'll never guess what I found out"
"What, bro?"
"There's this guy they keep bringing up, some kinda demon"
"No way"
"But that's not all. They say he was a true ace"

I still fire up my PS2 to play Ace Combat Zero.
Honestly it's my favorite game in the series 🤷♂️
Started playing Ace Combat Zero, the last PS2 Ace Combat I still hadn't played. And I noticed I might like Ace Combat a lot more than I had realized.
I started the first mission and I felt excited, gleeful, I was grinning, even shaking a little bit. I felt like I was child again and it was Christmas eve. I did not expect that getting to play the plane game again would fill me with such joy, but it did.
Ace Combat is good!

I will sound like a complete fucking redditor for saying so but yeah, I absolutely would play a shooter or tank gunnery game set in strangereal. Let me be a ground soldier in the Belkan war. Let me drive a tank in the Continental war.
#Would it be a good game?#I don't know#Would I play it even if its bad? Probably yeah#btw im picturing something more akin to early 2010s shooters fuck modern shooters#Highly unlikely something like this will ever be made but still#ace combat#Basilisk team game when
