===Artificial intelligence===
In a bold move for an {{NES}} title, a significant portion of the game's memory was dedicated to an intricate [[artificial intelligence]] that controls party members during the fifth chapter. In the fifth chapter of the {{NES}} version of the game, the player no longer directly controls any of the previous characters; instead using the tactics menu to deliver a loose set of instructions (Normal, Defensive, Offensive, Save {{MP}}, Use No MP, Try Out). The only character directly controlled is the Hero. All chapters except {{DQ4 Chapter 2}} also contain {{NPC}}s, which travel with the player, but cannot be directly controlled. They act on their own, guided by the game's AI.
In Chapter 5, party members beside the Hero are no longer directly controlled, their behavior instead being dictated by options in the Tactics menu (Normal, Defensive, Offensive, Save {{MP}}, Use No MP, Try Out). The ensuing actions are controlled by an intricate [[artificial intelligence]] system, which takes up a significant amount of the game's memory. The other chapters, except {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}, also contain [[Non-Player Character|computer-controlled party members]] that act alongside the player in battle.
