*The [[Nintendo DS]] remake uses nearly the same styleas the PS Version, with some minor compression to account for the handheld's screen size.

*The [[Pioneer Town]] lacks the variants of the PS Version due to replacing recruitable [[Non-Player Character|NPC]]s with ones that can be found after a certain point in game (see the article for more details).

*A [[Pioneer Town]] ~~was added, similar to [[The Haven]] in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It is located in place~~ of the [[~~Desert Bazaar~~]] ~~(which in the NES version served no purpose in Chapter 5). It is run by [[Hank Hoffman Jr.]] (who remains in the Inn at [[Mintos]] in the NES Version).~~

*The floors of the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest IV)|Fungeon]] are made up of new designs rather than from previous areas in the game, as well as {{DQ7}}.

*A new dungeon was added in the "after~~-game", along with~~ a ~~new [[Zoom]]~~ point ~~within. Completing this dungeon a certain number of times grants access to get Psaro's equipment and causes a separate Psaro, a naked and gender-confused man, to appear~~ in the ~~Pioneer Town.~~

*In the NES Version, Hank Hoffman Jr. ~~leaves the party after [[Alena]] and her companions join. In the PlayStation and DS Version, he leaves immediately upon entering Mintos.~~

*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~~.

*The [[Bag]] has been added for unlimited item storage, which can carry up to 99 for each item.

*In the PS and DS version, only [[Eliza]] and [[Float-o-copier]]s can use the [[Morph]] Spell, whereas in the NES Version, the Hero could also learn it.

*Both of the remakes have the [[Lightning staff]] available much sooner in the [[Vault of Vrenor]], as opposed to later in [[Castle Nadiria]].

*[[Boomerang]]s were replaced by [[Hunter's Bow]]s.

*[[Thorn Whip]]s were replaced by [[Divine Dagger]]s.

*[[Morning star]]s were replaced by [[Holy lance]]s.

*Instead of the [[Liquid metal shield]] which sold for 4000 coins, the [[casino]] sells [[falcon sword]]s for 65,000 coins.

*There's only one Liquid metal shield in the Nintendo DS, iOS, Android game that you can get by trading in 52 mini medals to the medal king.

*[[Liquid metal armour]] now costs 35,000 Gold Coins, as opposed to the 15,000 in the NES Version.
