''IV'' was the first remake to receive party chat, and is slightly different from subsequent versions. Namely, the [[Solo|Hero]] does not need to be alive or present in the party for a conversation to begin. This can occasionally lead to small goofs when a character references them, but does allow for the feature to be used in dungeons where the [[Wagon]] is not allowed and the protagonist was left outside. Interestingly, [[Meena]]'s obsession with caves, crypts, and underground structures was first established in the PSX remake's party chat--in no prior media did she ever display an interest in such things.

Party chat can be used in all chapters. The international release of the the DS version in 2008 lacked the party chat feature, which then-localization director [[Richard Honeywood]] elaborated upon in an interview with 8-4, ltd.
