* [[Multiple Endings]]: There are different endings depending on choices Kou makes, on time it takes for specific battle and the victory/defeat outcome of major boss fight. The titles of the good endings are the heroine’s name.

** Nanoha has a time specified battle when Kou has to rush to save Nanoha. Taking more than three minutes in the battle will lock out the good ending and lead to the "Dreamland" ending. Taking more than five minutes causes a [[Nonstandard Game Over]]. Finally, losing the final battle gives the "Embrace" ending.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: Occurs several times on the virtual net where every single AI freezes up.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|1=Kou in Sora’s route is actually the NPC that Aki created and doesn’t have a wired ghost. The real Kou died on Gray Christmas in that world.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Two Siblings in One]]: Sora and Kuu merged into one in "Eternal" end since Sora’s body could not be recovered from being part of Neunzehn.}}.
