Gensou Shoujo Wars/Save Transfer between games

The Gensou Shoujo Wars / Fantasy Maiden Wars series allows you to transfer save data between games, much like the dot hack series.

Q: How do i transfer my save data?

A: To transfer your save data from one game to the next, simply copy your entire save data folder from the previous game, and paste it into the directory of the next game. the two save data folders will merge.

Q: Will this delete any of my save files in the next games?

A: No. Each save file has a number for what game it came from. so if you already have save files in a future game, you can merge the save folders and it won't destroy your save files.

Q: How do i start a playthrough with save transfer?

A: Simply hit New Game in the next game, and you will be asked if you want to start using imported save data. This question only appears if you have already carried over the save data from the previous game, and have a save file that has beaten the previous game (a clear data save). If you have multiple clear save files of the previous game, you can pick what one to use.

Q: Can i pick a new protagonist?

A: No. you will be forced to be the protagonist of the save file you used. (For those playing the first game, you cannot save transfer a clear file from sakuyas route. as it is only meant as a small 4 chapter hidden route. Reimu and Marisa only.)

Q: Can i change the difficulty between games?

A: No. if your clear file was previously normal mode. your data transfer playthrough will be forced to be normal mode.

Q: What exactly carries over, and what does not?

A: Carry overs are the following 1) All Points (Money) 2) Unit upgrades 3) Kill count (For getting Aced status) 4) Wife points acquired 5) PP (Skill points) 6) Items Acquired. 7) Your captured spell cards, intermission talk, and other various info acquired.

Q: What does NOT Transfer, or gets reworked?

A: Due to changes in weapons, skills, ect, some things do not transfer, or get changed.

1) Between games, weapons change. as such, your girls get their weapon rank reset to 0. In exchange, you get a Point (Money) Refund on anything spent on weapons. you can immediately upgrade them to be the same, but some weapons are better, some are worse, and there are some new weapons as well. Consider looking the characters over before making this choice. 1.1) Between game 1 and game 2, a max of 1 million total may be transferred. Anything more gets reduced to 1 million.

2) Between games, some skills are removed, some are added, some are reworked and some have different costs. as such, you lose all purchased skill, BUT all units get a FULL refund on PP spent. While you can rebuy the same skills, consider looking at the new skills added in each game first.

3) Between games, what wife points exactly does differs each game. As what they do changes, you get a FULL refund of spent wife points between each game. Note in the forth game, if you make a unit become wife level 10, she gets a Full Wife Bonus, and you gain not only MANY amazing bonuses, but also some more ontop that you can pick from. because it costs so much WP, you can only make a single unit have a full wife bonus. (i would personally argue 2 should be possible as by then you can twin units, but oh well)
