==Version differences==

===PS remake===

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

*A ''Prologue'' chapter is added 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 {{DQ7}}.

*A [[Pioneer Town]] was added, similar to [[The Haven]] in {{DQ7}}. 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).

*A new dungeon, the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest IV)|Fungeon]] was added in the "after-game", along with a new [[Zoom]] point within. The floors aside from the bosses room are taken from areas from the previous dungeons, the shop from Zalenagrad and areas from {{DQ7}}.

*In the {{NES}} Version, Hank Hoffman Jr. leaves the party after [[Alena]] and her companions join. In this 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 bonus Chapter 6, includes [[Psaro (Character)|someone]] becoming a playable character.

*While still uncontrollable during combat, healing spells known by [[Healie]], [[Laurel]] and [[Orifiela]] can be used manually out of battle.

*Only [[Eliza]] and [[Float-o-copier]]s can use the [[Morph]] spell, whereas in the NES Version, the Hero could also learn it.

*In the {{NES}} Version, [[Marquis de Léon]] dies after his defeat, whereas in the remakes, he reverts to his human form and forgets his time as a monster.

*The player no longer loses [[Gold]] Coins after being defeated by Marquis de Léon in Chapter 4.

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

*[[Boomerang (weapon)|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 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.

*The gospel ring accessory is now included at the Pioneer town which is upgraded to a castle and is sold for 250,000 coins at the casino.

*The Big book of Beast is now included for the monster bestiary and the player will be rewarded 250,000 coins if they complete the list of monsters.
