 best rpg ever made May 7, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
like all arts, the art of rpg making reached its zenith at its beginning and has steadily declined ever since. Here is a game subject to all the constrictions of the old NES: midi music, primitive graphics etc. yet it remains the best rpg ever made to this day. It is the best rpg of the age of "antiquity" of video games. The ammount of creative effort put into this classic and the emotional depths of every detail compensates any advancement in graphics and animation of the last 10 years. This game is like an epic novel. A true classic.
 VERY Good! July 5, 2002

Although I find MORE of a liking to "Dragon Warrior" 1,2 and 3, this one is still worth playing. The storyline is pretty good and the strategy is possibly one of the easiest of RPG's to ever hit the NES. It's a bit difficult with some of the puzzles, but leveling-up,weapons, armor etc. make the battles easier. I recommend this one to anyone who's a beginner w/RPG's. Heck, its better than FF1 on NES!! Seriously.
Just plain awesome June 13, 2003

One of the best NES RPGs ever made. Dragon Warrior IV may not have graphics or sound that compare with more recent RPGs but the engrossing story line more than makes up for it. Unfortunately the planned PSX remake was cancelled when the company Enix had developing it closed down, but you can still enjoy the original version.
ALMOST made it to a newer-generation system January 30, 2004

There was a time, shortly after Enix released Dragon Warrior VII for PSX, that this game, with a major PlayStation facelift, ALMOST made it onto the newer system and into new gamers' game libraries. I think it was released in Japan, but fate frowned on us and financial concerns led it to never reach the US.Who cares? ME!!! :~-{ (my emoticon is trying to cry) So many RPGs I play engross me, offer me many hours of fun and enjoyment, but fade from memory within weeks of completing them. Not this one. The story, the game's layout, the amazingly deep characters for this old an RPG, and Necrosaro all keep this game right up there with Lufia I and II and Final Fantasy IV and VIII and Xenogears and Chrono Trigger on my list of favorite RPGs of all time. And I will never get to play it on a newer system. :~-{ :~-{ :~-{
:~-{ :~-{ :~-{ :~-{ :~-{ I'll quit pouting long enough to remind myself - Eureka! The NES version is still out there! My NES long since kicked it, but if you have any, ANY means of playing this game do it. It is one of the best ever made. But never on PSX. Back to the handkerchief. :~-{

I was a fan of the DW series since number 1. The only one that might surpass this one might be DQ8 (which I am currently playing, at the time of writing this). This game is huge. You get 8+ members to your party, and a great story. The character development is surprisingly in depth for a NES game. Though it's only 8 bit, I think the designers did a great job with what technology they had. The graphics were simple, but very well done, and the music was great. I still find some of it to be moving to this day.
