*Both the [[Sony PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo DS]] versions have a ''Prologue'' chapter to introduce the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|hero]] before chapter one begins, as well as a 6th chapter with a bonus dungeon and alternate ending.  There is also a new Tactics feature to manually control your party in chapter 5.  The PlayStation version uses the graphics engine from ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'' and the [[Nintendo DS]] remake uses nearly the same style, with some minor compression to account for the handheld's screen size.

*The first floor of the [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia]] has a [[Thief's Key]] door blocking off the rest of the cave. To get it opened, [[Borya]] has to be recruited, which triggers a scene where Alena kicks the door down despite having the key. The NES version of the cave lacks the door and can be completed without recruiting Borya.
