Who else looked at this and developed a desire for a magical girl-based Ace Combat-style game, where the girls engage in epic dogfighting and aerial spellfights with flying monsters and magitek war machines?

Sorry, I don't follow that series closely, so I wasn't even aware of this new spinoff. From a quick googling, it's probably as close as we can get. No giant monsters, though. And probably no dogfighting, just spellcasting and hack-and-slash from how the screenshots look.

It's not new. It was released in 2011.

Oh please no. Looking at this, I have flashbacks of Bayonetta's chapter 14 (which is exactly "aerial fights with flying monsters") and almost started feeling nauseous again from all these barrel rolls.
