A briefing is a type of cutscene that explains an upcoming mission or set of missions. Briefings appear in every Ace Combat game and serve a core aspect of the gameplay. Unlike story interludes, which typically follow characters other than the player character, briefings inform the player of the main objectives and potential threats to consider when selecting their aircraft and weapons.
