Ace Combat 7 Campaign: Mission 1 Welcome to my first playthrough of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, starting with Mission 01. This opening sets the tone of the Lighthouse War and introduces us to the player character, Trigger — a skilled but silent pilot of the Osean Air Defense Force. At this point in the story, Trigger is just another ace in the sky, carrying out routine defense missions, unaware that a single incident will soon brand him with a callsign known across the battlefield. This mission focuses on basic combat, aerial control, and atmosphere, easing players into the world before the narrative escalates into political tension, mystery, and large-scale air warfare. No deep spoilers here — just clean dogfights, story setup, and the beginning of Trigger’s path to becoming a legend.
