I started playing Ace Combat with AC Zero, and fell in love with the series immediately.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is the best story Ace Combat has ever had. I was blown away with the depth and care given to every single aspect. Character development, the plot, a litany of themes, symbolism and metaphor, music diagesis, this game has it all. I'm still unpacking some of the layers to its messaging even now after 2 campaign runs.
Direct comparisons to every previous entry in the series results in this game doing everything they do, but bigger and better. I would never have dreamed of such a triumph.
