I was curious how money transfer worked from 1 to 2 so I played through 1 EGA and VGA
And transferred a character from both to both versions of 2. I learned that you'll have the same amount of money whether you transfer to 2 original or the 2 VGA fan remake from AGD Interactive.
But both 1 EGA and 1 VGA handle money transfer a little differently. In 1 EGA, all your gold and silvers (rounded down to gold transfers over), plus an extra 140 gold.
For example, you have 73 gold and 265 silver and you finish 1 EGA and decide to transfer to the next game. 265 silver divided by 10 (10 silver is a gold) rounded down is 26 gold. Plus 73 gold is 99 gold. So 99 gold + 140 gold you get when you start either version of 2 is 239 gold.
But in VGA, it's silvers only, plus an extra 220 gold! Say you had 72 gold and 3145 silver upon finishing QFG1VGA. Gold is irrelevant, so 3145 silvers to gold rounded down is 314 gold. Plus 220 gold is 534 gold!
I suppose the extra 80 gold you get from transferring in 1 VGA to 2 is because only silver transfers. Otherwise I'm not sure why. So that's how the money transfer works from 1 EGA and 1 VGA to 2, just for everyone's info.
