In series' tradition, the first 90 seconds are relatively ambient to accompany the flight to the centre of the action. The first stage theme "Invasion of Gracemeria" has a more familiar tone with its orchestral melodies and backing with percussive and electronic elements. It's definitely the most personal main theme of the series and the high production values are a big plus too. It also reflects the more cinematic direction of the series with the dramatic twists and turns along the way used to complement the visuals. Each section offers a courageous yet wistful melody that sounds like it could easily fit in a Medal of Honor title. The opening main theme reflects the orchestral direction for the score with an emotional performance by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra.
Although still a masterpiece in the game, this soundtrack isn't as satisfying as its predecessors on a stand-alone level. However, they slightly modified their approach with their use of subtly affecting atmospheric soundscapes rather than all-out epics. Rather than transform the series' music once more, they chose to stay close to the style of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War by focusing on militaristic orchestral tracks and seamless fusions with rock and electronic elements. Once again, Keiki Kobayashi, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Hiroshi Okubo, and Junichi Nakatsuru returned to depict battlefields in the sky, joined by event composer Ryuichi Takada. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation brought the series to the next generation with an instalment on the Xbox 360.
