*In an interview with ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine, series creator [[Yūji Horii]] noted that the AI in ''Dragon Quest IV'' was built such that in its original version, [[Kiryl]]'s algorithms would always conclude Whack (called Beat in this version) was the character's best offensive option against foes with high HP and the character would end up casting it turn after turn, simply because it "could not get over the power of the spell". The problem was halfway corrected in the balance-adjusted [[Sony PlayStation|PS1]] remake, except that Kiryl almost ''never'' casts Whack. A happy medium would be found in the AI for the [[Nintendo DS]] version, carried forward for the cell phone ports.
