Concept and creation

Appearances

Reception

Dragon Quest IV rcceived criticism for its poor AI; in particular, Kiryl's AI was commonly criticized for using ineffective spells in battle, such as spells that are meant to cause instant death, even if the spells could not possibly work.^[1] Excite writer Bergman Tagata noted that this quirk about Kiryl was annoying due also to his propensity to use it on weaker enemies as well, stating that this occurs because the AI does not have information about the enemy, and only learns after fighting them. Because boss characters are fought only once, he explained that Kiryl doesn't have any opportunity to put that knowledge to use.^[2]
