It happened a while ago, but kinda ironic that Alys can learn the "Death" Skill considering, well, things are not looking too good for her future right now

A neat thing about the character sprites in Phantasy Star IV is that the walk cycles move at different speeds. E.g., Chaz has a "normal" stride, Rika's is a little faster, and Demi, being short, has a very fast stride so that she can keep up with the group. It's subtle, but a very effective detail
After Alys is gone, it's a neat touch that Chaz now says her "party leader" lines; sure, of course he'd say the lines now that he's the leader, but it also gives the impression that Chaz is following in his mentor's footsteps and using the knowledge she taught him. She lives on through him
Well, I'm back at the start of Dezolis, which is the farthest I've ever been. I remember why I stopped last time: You get 2 new party members back to back with new Skills. It just became memory overload since there are no in-game Tech or Skill descriptions. Which is why I'm taking notes this time
If Phantasy Star IV ever got re-released, I would say change nothing except for giving players more access to information. Specifically:
- Item, Tech, and Skill descriptions both inside and outside battle
- Showing max HP, TP, and Skill use values in-battle
- Showing equipment stats while shopping
