DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen was originally released
in Japan on the Family Computer System in 1990, and later on the
PlayStation and Nintendo DS™ system. Compiling five chapters to
create one epic story, traveling in a large party on a wagon,
and issuing commands that allow party members to fight using
their own AI has made the game a sensational hit. The mobile
version includes the party conversation feature which is new for
North American fans. Players can talk to their party to receive
various responses throughout their adventures and experience the
first game in the Zenethian Saga with the unique chapter based
story system.
