Dragon Quest IV/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: In the NES game, in the Hero's chapter (i.e. the main story segment), the combat actions of everyone in the party except the Hero are controlled by the game's A.I., with the player only getting to select vague "tactics". Unfortunately, this often resulted in a ''huge'' amount of [[Artificial Stupidity]], such as your healer wasting all their MP trying to repeatedly cast instant death spells on enemies that were immune to them, rather than, you know, ''healing your party''. Fortunately, the DS rerelease included an option for more traditional manual control.

* [[Squick]]: Psaro's growth of limbs and a second head/face is pretty icky in the NES game, but is just gross looking in the DS game. In a good way. Made even cooler as the DS version shows this from multiple angles. It really shows just how "not right" his transformation is.

* [[That One Boss]]: Estark in all versions, Foo Yung and Chow Mein in the remakes.

** Keeleon (NES name)/The Marquis de Leon (DS name) in all versions and Balzack in the remakes have always given veteran players trouble.
