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

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!

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.

Got it. I just let the video run because that wall of images and text was a bit much to take in.  Yeah the part where they regurgitate the info from 4gamer.net mentions it.
