The game that's really worth playing is King's Field IV. Its fantastic design continues to impress me. I can't wait to get home and play it some more.

In other news, I love that game.
I agree that it's a pretty unguided experience a lot of the time, not unlike Phantasy Star. There are lots of hints scattered about, but after you get the boat, everything opens up wide. I do think the orb hunt is done better than the crests in Dragon Warrior II, and that the game overall is balanced a little better than that game... but you will have times where you have to stop and grind. It's not all grind like the first game, but it's there.
The game also came with an awesome Explorer's Handbook that was basically a walkthrough for the entire game. Awesome.
I still think the Dragon Quest battles are some of the more balanced in 8-bit RPGs. In some ways, the third game is the pinnacle because you get to retain control of all your characters as opposed to the AI (emphasis at times on the "artificial") in Dragon Warrior IV.
