Eien no Aselia was originally released in 2003 for the PC by the Japanese visual novel developer, Xuse, as an adult-oriented visual novel-slash-strategy RPG, and in 2004, a standalone expansion came out, revolving around two additional heroines. In 2005, an all-ages version of the game, with additional scenes, a reworked script, and the expansion already added on was released for the PlayStation 2. Finally, in 2007, the PS2 version was ported back to the PC and in 2008, it was ported to the PlayStation Portable. The PC backport was translated to English by fan translation group, Dakkodango Translations, which was later bought by JAST USA and sold to English-speaking audiences on November 4th, 2011 under the translated title, Aselia the Eternal.

Eien no Aseria - Kono Daichi no Hate de: Yuuto has been taking care of his step-sister Kaori since the passing of both of their parents. Their life is hard, but they are happy together - at least until the day they are transported to a parallel world that they will later come to call Phantasmagoria...

In this world where he can't even understand a single spoken word, his sister is taken prisoner and her captors, calling him an 'Etranger', force him to fight wielding a sword that tries to control his mind instead...

Although he first accepts this fate only to protect Kaori, with passing time Yuuto starts to care for the fate of the 'spirits', the girls that fight alongside him, and other inhabitants of this world as well...

CHARACTERS:
- Yuuto Takamine: The story's protagonist. After being transported to Phantasmagoria, he is forced to fight for Rakios as an "Etranger," an otherworldly warrior who wields an exceptionally powerful Eternity Sword. His Eternity Sword is called 'Desire,' which Yuuto often calls "stupid sword" (or "bakaken"), out of dismay over the blade's tendency to take over his mind (or at least try to) and attempt to kill his spirit friends for their mana.

- Aselia Bluespirit: The story's primary heroine, in case the title weren't enough of a hint. Aselia is a spirit who saves Yuuto's life soon after his arrival in Phantasmagoria, and is the strongest spirit in service to Rakios. Stoic and taciturn, but also a bit ditzy and naïve. Her Eternity Sword is a large blade called 'Existence.'

- Esperia Greenspirit: A kindhearted spirit who nurses Yuuto back to health after almost getting killed by an enemy spirit soon after his arrival in Phantasmagoria, and also teaches him about its language and culture. As her maid outfit might suggest, she's skilled at cooking and cleaning.

- Oruphaliru Redspirit: Called "Orpha" for short. She is a spirit in service to Rakios, who quickly befriends Kaori and affectionately refers to Yuuto as "Papa." While she's normally energetic, playful, and cheerful, she's extremely sadistic to her enemies and believes there's absolutely nothing wrong with killing.

- Uruka Blackspirit: A powerful and feared samurai-esqe spirit who serves the Sargios Empire. Despite her fearsome reputation, however, she is extremely formal (refers to her allies with the "-dono" honorific), polite, honorable, and so serious-minded, it's often played for laughs.

- Lesteena Dai Rakios: The princess of Rakios. While she's sort of cold-hearted when placed in an authoritative position, she, unlike her power-hungry father, deeply cares about her subjects. She occasionally sneaks out of the castle in disguise to escape from the pressure of her position.

- Kaori Takamine: Yuuto's stepsister, whom he greatly cherishes. Despite their sibling status, however, Kaori sees Yuuto as a bit more than a brother, though in Yuuto's case, she is always firmly in the sister zone, and doesn't have her own path or ending.

- Kyouko Misaki: A childhood friend of Yuuto's who also gets transported to Phantasmagoria. A tomboy who enjoys sports, and can be rather rough with her friends.

- Kouin Midori: Another childhood friend of Yuuto's who also gets transported to Phantasmagoria. Street smart and always tries to act cool. More or less in a relationship with Kyouko.

- Tokimi Kurahashi: A mysterious shrine maiden with a strange sword whom Yuuto occasionally crosses paths with shortly before before being spirited away to Phantasmagoria. Despite only recently becoming acquainted, she seems to know Yuuto well.

- Shun Akitsuki: An arrogant classmate of Yuuto's, who has an obsessive crush on Kaori. He and Yuuto harbor an intense, almost irrational, hatred for each other. Seemingly disappears from the plot after Yuuto and his friends get spirited away to Phantasmagoria, but...

GAMEPLAY:
The game combines elements of Japanese RPG, strategy, and "dating sim". Yuuto controls four parties of three characters each. He has to assign strategies to those parties and then send them to fight enemies and to collect mana. The turn-based, first-person perspective battles develop automatically according to your preparations. Yuuto also must fortify the kingdom he fights for, building training grounds, facilities, etc. He'll also dedicate time to romance, trying to win the attention of one of the many beautiful girls he encounters.

The Playstation 2 version removes explicit content and the evil route but adds the content featured in the expansion as well as various improvements to the battle system.

The Limited Edition includes a drama CD, "Konna Settei mo Attan no ka !?" and a material collection book.
