Line 9:
In terms of the ''Ace Combat'' series, ''The Belkan War'' differs mainly in its presentation of the story. It takes the form of a retrospective using live action actors to play the parts and invests a significant amount of effort in demonstrating the extent to which the Demon Lord affected the lives of everyone who fought him.
The events that take place in this game are not to be confused with the other [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

Line 32:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Knowing some German (and to a lesser degree, Russian and Spanish) helps you recognize references.
* [[Book Ends]]: It is snowing during both the first and last missions of the game.
* [[Boss
* [[Boss Remix]]: "Zero".
* [[Boss Rush]]: The bonus stage 'Gauntlet' allowed the player to face four randomly chosen enemy ace squadrons in a row.
Line 48:
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: ''Beautifully'' averted. ''Zero'' is the king of all AC heroes in the respect department: some of the cutscenes between missions are full-motion video interviews with ace pilots ''about you, the Demon Lord of the Round Table'', ten years later.
* [[The Empire]]: Belka.
* [[Episode Zero:
* [[Evil Is Easy]]: Not so much. You get better planes, yes, but you have to defeat ace squadrons flying them against you first, and you have to take time to destroy yellow targets to stay evil. It definitely [[Evil Pays Better|pays better]], though. That's not to say the ace squadrons specific to that path are much more difficult than the others, but they do tend to outnumber you more severely than other squads.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Pixy}}. Even though he's obviously reconciled with the player character by the time of his video interview, {{spoiler|he still killed the replacement wingman PJ}}.
* [[Fatal Family Photo]]: Though {{spoiler|Patrick "PJ" James Beckett}} was never considered the sharpest tool in the shed, his sense of [[Genre Blindness]] reaches a head when the last words out of his mouth are "I'm gonna ask her to marry me when I get back, I even bought flowers!" Boom.
* [[Featureless Protagonist]]: The game's framing device is an attempt to figure out ''anything'' about the player character beyond their actions in the sky.
* [[For Massive Damage]]: " {{spoiler|Morgan's}} only weak point is in the front air intake. You'll have to attack it head on."
* [[Gameplay Ally Immortality]]: [[Averted]] with the mission-critical carrier ''OFS Kestrel'', and only if you choose Operation Costner for your fourth mission.
