Summary: I love this game!
Comment: I love this game. It's refreshing, and exciting.
I'm only writing this to warning others about the 2 people giving this game a low score.
They complain about "cut scences" during battle. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CUT SCENCES. You can turn them off in options, and never seen them again.
I just wanted to let every know who is considering this game not to be turned off by their comments about cut scences.

Summary: Ooh Man, why did I by this?
Comment: OK this game has some good art work, but it doesn't overwhelm you enough to forget about how long and drawn out the battles are. The battle maps are way too big for this style of game. Be prepared to spend 15 to 45 minutes per battle, there is way too much moving around, and the cut scene for every hit sucks. I just got to the point of hitting X as soon as it opened up to skip the attacks. I didn't care how much damage I did or got, it's just way to pointless to have this for every attack.
There isn't a whole lot of movie cut scenes most of it is like Wild Arms 4 where you have comic book style and a whole lot of dialogue. The few cuts scenes the where animated where fun to watch, very entertaining, but that's just about where the game leaves off. I got very bored of this game right away, and I love strategy games. I went back to playing Star Ocean while I am waiting for another game to come in.

Summary: First Impression
Comment: As previous reviews have stated this is a very stylish game, but that is where my praise ends. There is a huge flaw in the actual gameplay, which makes wonder who launched this from the editing block. Every time you attack, and I mean -every- little melee attack, the game leaves the battle map to load a cut scene animation. I wouldn't mind this for special moves, but SRPG battles are time-consuming enough with the simple animations taking place on the map. It's distracting, boring, and renders the game unplayable for a person with limited free time.

Summary: First thoughts on Eternal Poison
Comment: I'm sure everyone here can relate to the feeling of following a game, anticipating it's release, and then peeling back the plastic wrap to pop in a new game? Yeah? Well I pre ordered this game months ago, because I had been completely wrapped up in the art style and dark and twisted story line. Now, I'd also like to say that the whole strategy role playing game or tactical rpg or whatever aspects intimidated me. Because this is my first venture into this genre. So I was very weary, and overwhelmed with the notion and premise of the game play...
I'm kinda slow in the intelligents department, and organizing huge stratagies and attacks, well.. It's not really my thing, or so I thought. Eternal Poison is surprisingly user friendly, and the tutorial was much needed, and very helpful, so those who are a little turned off by the srpg genre, I say if you can find a copy of this game take a chance, it's worth it. The one complaint I have so far would have to be the battle animations, which if any of you have been following this game, know you can simply turn them off, and the battles are quick and engaging. And exploiting weaknesses is loads of fun, and combination attacks are so satisfactory when pulled off successfully.
What I know of the story so far is from Thage and Raki's pov, and it's the most appealing to me at this point. I'm sure once completing their tale I'll jump right back in with the other stories and find out all the ins and outs of Eternal Poison.
Last thoughts, I just wanted to give some praise to this game, and as the first review stated above, it's a gem, and worthy in any rpg collection, I for one do not regret in anyway picking this game up.
Dal.

Summary: To help you decide whether or not to get this game...
Comment: In response the lack of reviews and product feedback, I believe some form of awareness must be addressed with regards to Eternal Poison.
First off, this game... is beautiful! And I mean is it! If you know the degree of art in Odin Sphere and how it became a "Greatest hits" without ever acquiring the "real" customer reception in America for it to become one, this is how this game compares. Now Disgaea had the same problem: Lack of consumer base in America but a high-quality title that was granted an additional print-run. This is how you would perceive Eternal Poison: Under a great deal of scrutiny by the gaming demographic, reliant to another consumer with a first-hand experience. And if you miss getting a hold of this game, you WILL be punished on your efforts to acquire it, just like Persona 3 originally was.
Like I said, this game is gorgeous! The music synchronizes very well with every scene. There is great character art and an in-game gallery that you will fill as you progress throughout the story. The cinematics are masterful rendering of a 3D perspective onto the characters. There is great deal of personalities between the characters and a lot of interaction. You choose which scenario you what to play through.
Eternal Poison's gameplay mimics that of a solid tactics-rpg. A character's turn will come up, you select whatever, then you wait. You can wait a turn out to perform combos, or cue in a later attack if you were planning to lure an enemy. The demons(majin) can be captured and used as party members in later fights and grow in strength with battle exposure. You can also choose to absorb the strengths and abilities of the said creatures for your current party instead. So far, I find that this game is on a low-medium difficulty(compared to FFT, which I scale as high difficulty), and has an easily understood tutorial.
For your enjoyment, there are a number of outside missions as you progress, like recover band members for a bar in a town, recruit temporary team members for requests, side story type things that help develop your teams strength and such. In closing, If you don't get Eternal Poison because you don't like tactical-rpgs, that's too bad because this is a high quality example of the genre. If you do like these types of games, you better get it before you have to wait for a reprint(Big IF) when everyone else realizes how good this is. Good luck on Ebay, when that happens.

The world descended into chaos the day the demonic realm of Besek appeared. Creatures known as the Majin emerged, wreaking havoc and destroying everyone's way of life. They captured the Princess of Valdia and imprisoned her in their lair. Now, brave adventurers throughout the land have set out to explore the Majin homeland. Some wish to rescue the princess; some seek fame and glory; some merely want revenge. However, there are those who look to harness the Majin's dark powers, for it is rumored that deep within Besek lies the Eternal Poison, a legendary treasure able to make your deepest desires come true. Travel the paths of some of these adventurers, and as their tales unfold, you will discover the true meanings of romance, heroism, madness, despair, and betrayal...
