While I missed VII, and obviously haven't played V and VI yet, I have at the time kept up with Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) through the Game Boy ports of I & II as well as III. Did have access to a PlayStation and could have still played IV, but it's rerelease, was a no go.
But the FAQ was something I enjoyed reading and the poster's enjoyment of any version of IV matched mine. Especially a certain development of that installment exclusive to the remakes, but apparently was planned in some form in the NES days.
Still have the print out which I stapled to read it like a book. Well the walk through portion.
