<cheap plug> For a live performance of the battle music, I've posted a video of it.

For those of us that have played the Dragon Warrior games on the original NES, you might appreciate what good game music is. The music from this game was actually performed by an orchestra, and then digitized for the game. Here is the fight music from Dragon Warrior IV played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer Koichi Sugiyama.

Moving this video to MarineGunrock's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

That boss was a hellish bastard when i was younger... now i know that leveling until your eyeballs melt out of your skull wins any game.

OH GOD!!! NERDGASM!!! I LOVE that game. I think it is probably the BEST game I have ever played. MG and I used to play this game for hours straight taking turns. Playing NES was probably the only time we actually got along with each other. *doublePromote!!!!! (1 power point was nepotism, the other is is for the sheer kickassedness of this game.)

Double-Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - doublepromote requested by arsenault185.

Theres got to be something fishy about that. Ive never been able to beat him without someone dying. And I can't for the life of me figure out how everyone keeps getting healed automatically.

Sage's stone, dummy. It performs the Healus spell when used in battle.

And they're at level 41. That really helps with the course of the battle.

^ I know all that, but people seem to be healing AFTER they attack.

That's the Sword of Miracles. Available from the King of small medals. he's in the NE corner near the shrine of breaking waves.
