This, the ports and remakes do a lot to clean up some of the series clunky design. A.I. control was kind of a big thing in III, IV, and V but the ports set them to manual. XP/Gold were also changed to make the games far less grindy. I think DQVII for the PS1 is probably the last DQ to stay true to some of the more... antiquated design. It's one of the reasons why I do really enjoy the DQ ports because they fixed quite a few issues I've always had with the series.
