Editing Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (section)

===Player conveniences===
*This game was the first to use katakana and numbers to name characters; earlier 8-bit games had only allowed the use of hiragana. Also, message windows can now display kanji. This '''significantly''' expanded the amount of text that could be stored to a cartridge without eating up space saved for music, graphics, and so forth, with the original advertisements stating the game had as much text as a novel. 
*Search, Talk, and Open commands can now be issued by a single button press, bypassing the menu. 
*The shop interface now shows what stat changes will occur when a weapon is equipped, and purchased items can be equipped automatically.
*Characters can now move a half-block tile at a time rather than only a full block, leading to smoother animation.
*Pots, barrels, and similar objects can now be searched, and will often contain useful items. Unfortunately, this also meant that they sometimes contained monsters laying in wait.
