English lyrics and Japanese translation:
Riding the endless sky
With the sunrise caught on his wings
No one touches him in the air
He commands every roaring storm
There is freedom in hearts that dream
and a trust that’s bestowed upon him
He takes care of those who call
like a wind spreading far and wide
far and wide
翼に朝⽇を宿し
果てしない空を駆ける
空では誰も彼に及ばない
彼は唸る嵐をすべて⽀配する
夢⾒る⼼には⾃由があり
彼に託された信頼がある
まるで⾵のように
彼は呼びかける者たちを慈しむ
遥か遠くまで広がる⾵のように

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Ace Combat series, the long-awaited latest installment in the series—which takes the series’ appeal to new depths—is finally here.
■ “ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE™”
As a fighter pilot, the player is picked up by the obsolete aircraft carrier “Endurance” while adrift at sea in a lifeboat.
With the player’s home country’s navy nearly annihilated, this aging vessel had withdrawn from the front lines while carrying evacuees.
July 2029.
The Federation of Central Usea (FCU) is subjected to a lightning-fast invasion by the Republic of Sotoa and
loses its main combat forces. The retreat continues unabated; as most of the country is occupied, the remaining forces are scattered.
The Endurance was merely one such vessel.
Aboard that ship, the player is entrusted with a name.
“Wings of Sheev”—a legendary ace hailed as a symbol of hope, named after the FCU capital, Sheev.
However, that fame was not based on truth.
Bearing the name “Wings of Sheev,” the player takes to the skies once more alongside three new comrades to reclaim the stolen lands.
