Booooo!

Hitting your head with Zoom is quintessential to Dragon Quest's humour! Newcomers become proper Dragon Quest players when they make that blunder!

Hell, even Smash references it! You can't just ditch it now!

If you want to see it, it's at 20:06 in the video @Julius shared.

I'm afraid that's not it. That moment is actually the "Evac" spell, which is meant to be used indoors.

No, it's actually this picture:

It's the same animation as seen around the 21:14 mark in the video (it wasn't actually Zoom, it was the item with a similar use, but the principle's the same).

Makes no sense: what's the point of Evac then, if even a starting town item negates it completely?

Is that screenshot from a different source to the video? The onscreen caption at 20:06 is saying you can use the chimera wing (same function as zoom like you say) to travel to previous areas and that you can use it indoors. Just for anyone that wants to see proof for themselves.

It's been possible to zoom directly from indoors in more recent titles so they are probably just bringing it in line with that. As well as the other tweaks and ways it is being streamlined.

It's from the ResetEra thread that @Dcubed linked to earlier.

Per Gematsu, S-E have released some new details on the game's new episodes about Ortega (who will be voiced by Dave Jones in the English release, and Hiroki Touchi in the Japanese release).

This remake contains several new scenes which shine a spotlight on the protagonist’s father, Ortega, giving players a better understanding of the man himself and his quest. The story also features new, formidable foes which will give fans an even more enriching experience of the Dragon Quest III narrative.

Father to the game’s protagonist and one of Aliahan’s finest. Long ago, he set off on a quest to rid the world of the Archfiend Baramos, leaving behind his beloved wife and baby. After scouring the realm in search of Baramos, Ortega met an untimely end when he fell into the maw of a volcano during an epic battle.

The seafaring nation of Portoga, the small cherry blossom filled island of Jipang, and the isolated desert kingdom of Ibis are the focus of the new details shared about the game's remade world.

They're adding scenes for Ortega? That's pretty cool! So this is the sort of thing Horii was talking about.

Simão is now officially written in the Portuguese way! He was always called "Simao", and some translations simply went with "Simon". The fact that a significant localisation is bothering with the proper spelling of Portuguese tildes is huge for my language's representation.

This too :cool:

Oh, that's another name change. An understandable one: it used to be called "Isis". It was a very fitting name, but real life mucked it up.
