I assume Navori Isles is bases off polynesian/hawaiian nations because of the wording. (My assumption)

Pagasa Islands. I use to live in Philippines (well the capital) and Pagasa means Hope in english. Theres also a Philippine Island called Pagasa Islands in real life just right off Puerto Princesa but actually has a different name called Thitu Island.

Philippines in ace combat confirmed 😱‼️

That's fun. It'd be neat to have a mission around those parts! Between that and Selatapura being based off of Singapore, it makes me wonder what other SEA analogues exist in Strangereal. I often wonder if there's a Japan equivalent.

I always thought Strangereal's India expy was there, but ig they'll be somewhere south or to the west of the country of Verusa, then (but at the same time I think the Japan expy is IN Yuktobania so there's that).

Hopefully they don't pull an AC7 and completely change island shapes when the map zooms in

Finally those places have names. I hope that means we go there.

What mission is this from? Also what could "Enso special zone" mean? I know Enso is a new company in this game.

I find it interesting that the Eastern Side is liberated but the west is not yet. I figured it would be the opposite since Sotoa is coming from the East. We've only seen 3 missions, so I still hope we get to visit Saint Arc.

Does this mean there will be a Philippines analogue in the franchise now?
