Perhaps the next Ace Combat game should takes place during that war, in which the game contain 80's styled storyline and theme. Such as characters with 80's hairstyles. 80's styled drama, 80's styled romance, 80's styled soundtracks. Perhaps bring back the Assault Horizon-styled cutscenes, but this time keep the player character anonymous, silent (only interacts using gestures), and faceless, which means that the cutscenes that involving player character is limited to first-person view only. And the QTE is only during the cutscenes while on the ground, and some can affect the drama. Such as pressing the random QTE prompt during beach volleyball cutscene to make the player character attempt to win the game, or QTE prompt during romance cutscene for action that affect the romantic relationship between the player character and his girlfriend, such as spontaneous *cough*-kiss-*cough* or impress her by singing...oh wait, silent character, maybe other act like dancing. The reason of this is to provide more drama to the player character while not on combat mission but keep maintaining the classic Ace Combat formula of being a silent and anonymous protagonist.

Well, about the gameplay, bring back takeoff, refuel, and landing mini-game, no DFM/ASM, maybe including more retro fighter jets, such as the F-100 Sabre, OV-10 Bronco, F-8 Crusader, Super Etendard, and so on.
