I knocked enemies out of the flag-capture zone with grenades in the PS3 version. They do get bounced around, you just have to land the grenade pretty close, but not on top of them.
Yeah, some animations feel too slow, or should have been skippable with a button. I think dialogue boxes might be the biggest offender. Many of them are slow to appear and disappear.
I didn't realize until chapter 5 that saving mid-mission is even a possibility. However, I just finished chapter 7 and I saved a dozen times during that mission. It's so long and painful, I'm not sure if I would have continued playing the game if I died there at the end.
That's one of the biggest improvements of the PSP sequels, you can choose to fast-forward or even entirely skip enemy turns. It would have been nice to get the option here, but I guess it would have been too much work.
Oh lord even with the 60fps bug I'm cheesing the last few missions gloriously.

fielding like 3 Lancers and then running the Edelweiss behind Jaeger while taking off the last pieces of his armor.

Aw, that's a bummer. There's been some situations where it would be awfully nice to have.
Age of Wonders 3 solved this problem wonderfully - making it one-click to speed up movement/attack animations. For a game revolving around moving and attacking it is a valuable, if easily overlooked, feature to have.
So I have only just properly started getting into the game, and choosing troops and what not. After about 4 hours of play though, despite choosing what I thought to be the most competent troops by their abilities, I now have a practically all female set of troops.

Not looking forward to it to be honest. Especially since i didn't by the order retreat.

Ugh, didn't have enough XP to buy the Retreat order and now it's not coming up again, so that's awesome. Also, I managed to get Ramona killed in chapter FIVE. Somehow I've managed to become really awful at this game.

I went back to the graveyard and he just said I have nothing to teach you.
How can I buy it now?
Updated my VCtool. Fixed support for textures in some MLX files.
Download: http://www.tzarsectus.com/tools/VCtool.rar
Download source: http://www.tzarsectus.com/tools/source/VCtool.rar
Usage:
- Drag'n'drop files onto the extract.bat and replace.bat batch files in Windows explorer.
OR
- Use it in command prompt (ie, "vctool -x valcA02aD_h.mlx" to extract, "vctool -r valcA02aD_h.mlx" to replace)
This is probably the final version of the tool, unless I discover something is not working.

WOW, Rosie is god-tier! I got to the very end of mission 6, ended up really screwing myself over. I had Alicia sneaking in to the outpost you need to capture, coming up the right side of the map during the sandstorm, and wasn't paying attention to her stamina so she got stranded right next to a tank. Next turn, BOOM she's dead. So next turn I have Jann going up the right side, takes out two of the three tanks, before he's out of AP and rockets. Then I have Rosie sneaking up the right side, takes out a red Shocktrooper in the trenches. I think "Man, I bet I can rush to the outpost THIS turn!"
She ends up getting stranded RIGHT next to the sandbags on my last CP (not close enough to duck next to them). I don't have another grenade to take out the last dude at the outpost, and I wasted an attack on him that just gave me counter-attack damage. I'm thinking I'm fucked. There's tank right next to the outpost, there's a shocktrooper in the sandbags, and then a sniper spawns in just to rub salt in the wound.
Shocktrooper shoots at Rosie, she's down to about 60% health. Then the tank comes in, moves around A LOT, then finally fires a mortar at Rosie. She survives with 10 HP! Then the sniper that spawned in runs behind sandbags, takes a shot at Rosie to finish her off, and she ducks! WOOHOOO YOU GO GIRL! Then he takes another shot, I'm thinking "Well fuck I guess I can only get so lucky," and she ducks a second time! WTF! Had Jann fire a rocket at the shocktrooper to get him out of cover, order him to be sniped, Rosie runs up to kill the shitty sniper (he would've been too ashamed to live after that), then capture the outpost. Holy shit, I love this game.
btw what's the deal with turrets on tanks? Sometimes they don't shoot at me, sometimes they cover an arc in front of them, once I had them shoot at me when I was behind the tank? And the Edelweiss doesn't seem to shoot at anything?

Awesome!

Some tanks have MGs both in front and in the back (I think it's the medium Empire tanks). The Edelweiss MG shoots in a front 120° arc I believe.
Edit : Rosie is love.

Apparently he might offer it again in a future chapter or after a skirmish. I don't know if you can grind skirmishes to get an order offered again, or if it only works after you beat battles for the first time. As my last post indicated, I'm about as clueless as you are.
Random aside: for the longest time I was hitting the Square button to enter target mode instead of R1 and almost screwed up several turns as a result. Now I know why: Valkyria Chronicles 3 (and probably 2) use Square to enter target mode. Also, oh man does VC3 look awful after downscaled 1080p VC1.

Fun story, I found out the hard way about the Medium tank back MG. Chapter 10, I send Aika on the
to capture the first enemy camp. I kill the guy camping the flag from above then bait the tank with the Edelweiss so it moves forward. Once it passes the
I laugh to myself and send her towards the flag...only to get torn to shreds by MG60FPS fire.
I wasn't even mad. Managed to salvage the situation too.

I have done about 10 Skirmishes and yet he won't offer me retreat.
I even bought Sniper Support to get him to shut up.
Now he has nothing to offer me he says.....he must be senile.

The distinctive art style of this game benefits tremendously from high resolution. It's all solid lines and high contrast solid colors, and I remember the PS3 version being in 720p having no AA used at all and the jaggies were so sharp you could cut yourself to death with them. Seeing the game in 4K is really amazing, the beautiful artwork really shines with the massive resolution upgrade. They didn't even need to upgrade the assets, it's just that amazing to look at. It's so sad how Sega squandered this franchise the way it did after this original game which has quietly become a classic and remains one of the best games I played last gen.

Bought it just for the sake of completion and never used it since.
By Falk's request, I made a little thingy to unpack/repack the AFS files (Voice/Music packs). Hence the dumb video above.
Note: You'll need the ADX tools from somewhere else to be able to edit the files inside. (Adxencd, SF4Voice Tools)

Kankkunen DLC set in EWI, plz SEGA. This guy's a great excuse to give Quinton Flynn money.
He won't even offer me sniper support now, because I didn't have the EXP to buy it when I first visited him. What an asshole.

Honestly, even more than the resolution bump is how much better the game looks at 60FPS. It's full of quick camera angle changes (especially zooming into/out of third person) and a cursor, two things that benefit the most from not being limited by 30FPS.
It really is one of those games where when people say they don't see a difference, you're convinced they're either trolling or very unfortunately genetically condemned or something.

Last I recall if you're playing higher than 60FPS the Tank won't go up the incline.
Though I did have a issue earlier in the desert trying to back up on a incline and i'm at 60fps.
----------------------
Well I give up on that old man.
Thankfully with all that grinding I should be good to go with the Chapter 7 mission.

Has the sound bug been fixed? Putting my stuff at 48000 did nothing for me. Any patch or new solution? The gun sounds being muffled as hell, I mean.
They fixed the sample playback rate issue which was affecting pitch/speed of many sound effects. They also 'fixed' some 'volumes', although like you've noticed, positional sounds (including guns) still seem a tad quiet.
I set music volume to somewhere between 75-80% and it's a better balance for the most part in the interim. I can live with cutscenes suddenly being noticeably louder for now.

Holy crap, Cezary. Not only are you a racist but now you're a acrophobic? Get the fuck out of my squad.
Aw yes. Got Marina and Vyse for my troubles for dealing with the bullshit that is chapter 8.
Whats the deal with weapon upgrades? Are available upgrades only based on how much you use the weapons themselves?

The missions in this are significantly longer than in Fire Emblem or other games of this genre. Mid-missions saves are not cheating, not unless you are using them to save and reload constantly.
Yes, and it is broken.
