How hard will this be? My group has been playing 1E for the last 10+ years and most of us, me not being one, don't want to change...

We won't know for sure until it becomes clear exactly what PF2 is going to look like and that probably won't be until it's released.

In the build-up, they made statements like how it's possible to convert on the fly. Now that Ive had the chance to look at and GM the playtest conversion, I think converting on the fly is a bit of a stretch. It's possible to convert, but NPCs and custom monsters (those not appearing in a bestiary) are going to take some work, including tactics. Also, there are some unnecessary barriers to conversion, such as the wildly different economies and item rarity, along with PC capability assumptions, and skill DCs.

Surely the story can be carried back. Any core monsters will just be unchanged. The NPC blocks will be radically different so will probably require rebuilds based on what they are intended to do and the CRs

Any new or unique monsters would be tough

Difficult to say for certain but parts will be quite easy
