What are Dumans?

[Puppet_Papaya]

How have Dumans come to be? Has it been explained in the story yet? As far as I know they're humans that got spanked with Dark Falz crub, but there's gotta be more to it than that, right?
Thanks in advance for your diligent research!

Demons.

If I'm not mistaken, in the Phantasy Star Portable series, it is explained that Dewmans/Dumans are humans that were infected by the SEED, but retain their humanity, despite the fact that most people/creatures infected by it turn into giant, terrifying monsters.

As for PSO2's version, I have no idea.

Probably the same thing as psp2i. There would presumably be people living in the ships taken over by darkers, as you see in the darker den etc.

I'm surprised we haven't ran into any Zeno clones.

I'm surprised we haven't ran into any Zeno clones.

We have, actually. We just don't see it as clearly.

Note: Story spoilers below.

Spoiler!

If the current story arc up to Episode 1 Chapter 8 is to be believed, then Zeno became Persona after Elder kicked his ass. It would explain why his fate was listed as "Missing", rather than dead. Also, I believe Agra also datamined new profile icons of Zeno, meaning that both he and Echo will be getting revamps this arc.

Though if this episode is focusing on Zeno and Persona, we might see a Falz Randall or something. After all, Zeno went Hunter when Ranger would've been natural for him (due to his photons aligning with this class).

don't we fight persona in like chapter 3 or something

[Z-0]

Chapter 1, lol

[CyberNei]

Unless he traveled back in time, persona can not be Zeno, lol. Plus persona looks bit thinner for me than Zeno is. There are people, who thinks, he's actually female in disguise. w

1st chapter of Ep2 comes this wednesday, let's hope it will give us some clues.

Would be awesome if Dudu was Persona behind that mask. lol
