	*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.		*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.

	On November 22, 2007, this Playstation remake was ported to the Nintendo DS. No significant changes were made to the game's story, gameplay, or bonus features, aside from modifying the boom town's immigration aspects to reflect the lack of memory cards in the DS hardware and the calculation method for [[Alena]]'s [[Critical Hit]]s. The [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest IV)\|Fungeon]] ([[bonus dungeon]]) changed it's layout to random locations for each floors whereas the Playstation Version was a mix of previous areas from the game and from ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. This portable version was released internationally in September of 2008, though without the party chart present in the Japanese release.

	On April 7, 2014, the Playstation remake was ported to iOS and Android compatible devices. This version features significantly sharper graphics than before, as well as a fully orchestrated soundtrack. No significant gameplay changes were made aside from yet another tweaking of the Tsarevna's critical hit ratio. The bonus dungeon layout from the DS port was retained. This version was released world wide on August 7, 2014, and most importantly restored the long-lost party chat to much critical acclaim.
