Item Description
Dragon Warrior IV makes you wait for its hero. Instead of opening with the chosen one, it spends four full chapters with the people who will one day fight at their side, so by the time the fifth chapter brings everyone together, you know each companion intimately. It was an unusually ambitious way to tell an RPG story in 1990, and it still feels fresh.
Each chapter has its own flavor. Ragnar, a loyal royal soldier, investigates a string of missing children. Princess Alena of Santeem slips out of her castle with her tutor Brey and the priest Cristo to prove herself as a fighter. Taloon, a weapon-shop clerk with big dreams, sets out to make his fortune and open a shop of his own, in a chapter built around buying and selling as much as battling. The sisters Mara and Nara, a dancer and a fortune-teller, hunt for the man who murdered their father. Each plays like a short story with its own mood, and Taloon proved popular enough to headline his own spin-off series.
In Chapter 5, the hero, whose hidden village is destroyed by the forces of the demon lord Necrosaro, gathers the scattered heroes into one party. A wagon lets you rotate members in and out, and in this NES version your companions act on their own in battle using tactics you assign, such as fighting all-out or conserving magic. That mix of a large, rotating cast and AI party members gives the finale a very different feel from the earlier Dragon Warrior games.
Developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix, it reached North America in 1992 as the last Dragon Warrior on the NES, and Western players would not see another new mainline entry until Dragon Warrior VII in 2001. That makes it the closing chapter of the series' 8-bit era here, and the one to play if you want Dragon Warrior at its most story-driven on original hardware.

About the game
Dragon Warrior IV differs from the rest of the series by breaking up the game into five distinct chapters, each of which focuses on a different protagonist or protagonists. The first four are told from the perspective of the Hero's future companions and the fifth one, from the hero's perspective, brings all the characters together as they begin their journey to save the world.
