Line 46:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: As expected of Flight-Plan. ''Black/Matrix II'' averts this both intentionally with [[Difficulty Levels]] and [[Dynamic Difficulty]] and unintentionally with [[It's Easy, So It Sucks|it being easy regardless]].
* [[Number of the Beast]]: For a series that so heavily raids Abrahamic mythos, it's surprisingly averted. The war between the angels and devils in ''Zero'' lasted for 555 days.
* [[No Export for You]]: The entire series during its initial release. ''Cross'' and ''00'' were made available for a time in Playstation Store. In the Flight-Plan's defense, they had wanted to see their games make it outside the domestic market. The Sega Dreamcast re-release of the first game [http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/069/069878p1.html was at one time actually considered for North American release], but was later dropped. Someone probably wised up.<ref>[[Darker and Edgier]], [[Gay Option]], [[God Is Dead]], [[Kill the God]], [[Media Watchdog]], [[Moral Dissonance]], [[Moral Guardians]], [[Religion of Evil]], [[Values Dissonance]], SRPGs being a niche market in said region, and the massive amounts of Judeo-Christian references that no amount of [[Bowdlerise|censorship]] could make palatable for American audiences while keeping the game intact... take your pick. Should've tried your luck in more liberal Europe, Flight-Plan.</ref>
* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]]: Multiple endings means you'll be playing the game more than once. Thankfully, [[New Game+]] makes subsequent playthroughs much faster. ''Black/Matrix II'' clear save files will include a percentage tracker as well as the number of times you've cleared the game. Said game also gives a nice bonus item at the end for use in subsequent playthroughs each time the game is cleared. 32 clears are required to get all of them (16 if you decide to run the [[Bonus Boss]] each time). Of course, by then, [[Bragging Rights Reward|you don't really need them]].
* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: In every game but ''Black/Matrix 00'', most units that would take lethal damage first [[Non-Lethal KO|drop to a critical state]]. They can't act other than as obstacles but can be brought back up with healing. Units taking damage while in critical condition will be killed, removing them from the map. Units with "Death Attack" skip this part, allowing them to go straight for a [[One-Hit Kill]].
