Line 10: The truth is...complicated. A [[Dark Fantasy]] [[simulation RPG]] developed by [[Flight-Plan]] for the [[PlayStation 2]]., It'''''Eternal Poison''''' was released on 14th February 2008 in Japan (distributed by Banpresto<ref>now [[Namco Bandai]]</ref>) and on 11th November 2008 in North America (distributed by [[Atlus]]). This game is notable for two things. First, it is Flight-Plan's first and only SRPG to make it out of Japan, although only to North America. Secondly, it is a modern<ref>post-[[Persona (video game)\|Persona]]</ref> Atlus game that does ~~NOT~~''not'' contain the original Japanese voice acting. The latter was presumably due to the original game actually taking up most of the space on a single layer DVD and not having the room for two audio tracks.▼ ▲This game is notable for two things.

He's [[Catch Phrase\|hungry for action.]] * [[Lightning Bruiser]]: {{spoiler\|Morpheus.}} Also Ashley. * {{spoiler\|[[Luke, I Am Your Father\|Lenarshe I Am Your Mother]]}}: Thage. {{spoiler\|''Was'' her mother. Thage is very specific on this point.}} Also, {{spoiler\|[[Subverted Trope\|subverted in that Doom Shade, the Majin Retica searches for the entire game, isn't actually his father.]]}} * [[Magically-Binding Contract]]: Thage forces one on Retica. Line 38 ⟶ 39: * [[Market-Based Title]]: ''Poison Pink'' in Japan and ''Eternal Poison'' in North America. * [[Nintendo Hard]]: Yep. * [[No Export for You]]: Surprisingly averted for those in North America. Played straight for everyone else outside Japan. * [[Optional Party Member]]: Up to ten of them, actually. All of the mercenaries are optional, and their levels don't carry over to repeat playthroughs. * [[The Plan]]: {{spoiler\|Duphaston}} Line 44: * [[Public Domain Character]]: One of the refugees is obviously [[Alice in Wonderland\|Alice]]. * [[The Reveal]]: Several. {{spoiler\|Ashley is Lenarshe's younger sister.}} {{spoiler\|Reyna's not the real Reyna.}} {{spoiler\|Glynnis is a double agent, spying on the Pope for Leto.}} {{spoiler\|Count Duphaston is Morpheus.}} {{spoiler\|Thage is the reincarnation of Lenarshe's mother.}} {{spoiler\|Levatte was dispatched to join Olifen's group by the Pope as a spy.}} {{spoiler\|Ranunculus was using Thage all along, and Thage was using Ranunculus all along.}} {{spoiler\|The major Majin have the same names as major figures in Valdian religion, because they're one and the same.}} ** {{spoiler\|The Valdian royal family are part-Majin.}} * [[Save Scumming]]: Are you a sane, rational person? If so, this is how you will fill out the information for the Majin you capture. This can also be done to sell all of your awesome passive-skill-equipped stuff and still have it, leaving you with copies for other tales. * [[Split Personality]]: {{spoiler\|Retica. Also, Ashley, though hers eventually becomes an [[Enemy Without]], and Logue.}} Line 60: ** Some of the refugees demonstrate this, as well. {{spoiler\|Olifen meets a woman who is heavily implied to be one of his ancestors. He's not willing to confirm it.}} * [[Too Awesome to Use]]: [[Averted Trope\|Averted]] with the Ancient Amulet, which nullifies all status ailments on the wearer. You get it by selling a certain boss to the Uzaporium. Sounds like it would be, right? Except the boss in question is [[Breather Boss\|Manti Gigas,]] who is ridiculously cheap by boss standards and pitifully easy to capture. A bit of [[Save Scumming\|crafty reloading later,]] you've got more immunity than your body has room for. * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: A lot of characters--especially in the core party--start out [[The Load\|relatively useless]], but eventually become dangerously useful members as the game goes on--especially in a [[New Game+]]. * [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: Morpheus. No matter who you pick first, your first boss tends to be pretty easy, if somewhat difficult to capture. Then Morpheus shows up and shows you exactly how bosses in this game [[Nintendo Hard\|are going to be as a general rule of thumb.]] ** Morpheus' status as this is actually justified in-game. {{spoiler\|In his guise as Count Duphaston, he's been following your movements no matter what tale you choose, so he knows just what you're capable of.}} * [[Warmup Boss]]: Otakuphant, Kaelrunis, or Moon Belator depending on which tale you pick first. Mars Belator has all the elements of this, but isn't since, you know, you have to beat a tale to fight him in the first place.
