Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen is a role-playing game developed by ArtePiazza for the Nintendo DS, released in 2007 as the first entry in the Zenithia Trilogy, which also encompasses Dragon Quest V and Dragon Quest VI. The game follows a chapter-driven structure, presenting the story through the perspectives of several distinct characters before their paths converge. Players explore a three-dimensional world rendered across the DS's dual screens, encountering newly animated monsters designed by Akira Toriyama alongside a soundtrack composed by Koichi Sugiyama and an overarching narrative crafted by Yuji Horii. The Nintendo DS version features a revised English translation incorporating thirteen regional dialects to reflect the diversity of its cast and settings. A local wireless Chance Encounter mode allows players to expand an in-game town through connections with other players. The Party Chat feature, present in other regional versions, was omitted from the English release.
