''Dragon Quest IV'' had a unique way of advancing the story. It was split into five chapters. The first four chapters were told from the perspective of the hero's future companions. The fifth chapter was the hero's quest. During that quest, you would meet with and join with the companions whose stories were told in earlier chapters. Then, with a full cast of companions the group would begin their journey to save the world. | ''Dragon Quest IV'' had a unique way of advancing the story. It was split into five chapters.
