The party poisoned in Final Fantasy IV.
The Poison symbol as seen in Final Fantasy IV (DS).

Poison (ポイズン, Poizun) is a common status ailment in the Final Fantasy series, and appears in every single installment. Poisoned units take damage each turn during battle, and may take damage out of battle depending on the game.

In some games, the poison may remain after the battle, depending on what monster poisoned the character. This does not necessarily mean that the character will take damage while walking, but the character will be poisoned at the start of battles, and the poison will remain throughout the battle until it is cured. However, some monsters' poisons are temporary and the characters recover from it during the battles.

The damage from poison usually occurs after the character's turn. In some games, the damage will not occur if the poisoned character slays all of the enemies the party is facing, but this bug was fixed in later games. In some later games using the ATB system, poison damage occurs every couple seconds, more often when Haste is in effect.

Poison can be cured by using an Antidote. Several games also have a spell called Poisona which cures Poison. Depending on the type of poison, the Esuna or Basuna spells can also cure it.

Final Fantasy

Poison removes one twentieth of the afflicted character's maximum HP at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spells Poisona and Esuna.

Final Fantasy II

Poison removes a small amount of HP from the afflicted character at the end of every turn. This status remains after battle and, if not cured, will remove one HP every time the player takes a step in the field, reducing the victim to just 1 HP in the worst-case scenario. This status can be removed by an Antidote and the White Magic spell Esuna at any level.

Final Fantasy VII

Poison inflicts damage upon an afflicted unit periodically, but does not remain after battle. It can be cured using an Antidote, Remedy, or the magic Poisona.

The damage taking from the Poison status functions as if it is the player doing damage to their self. Therefore, when in both the Poison status and the All Lucky 7s status at the same time, the Poison will take off 7777. As the requirement of being in the All Lucky 7s status is to have 7777 health, the player will have both these statuses removed, and be inflicted with the Death status.
