Flight-Plan's first Strategy RPG series. The games, particularly the first one, have a strong Abrahamic motif to them. Unlike Flight-Plan's other SRPG series, the Black/Matrix games do not share the same universe with each other. They do, however, share many common characteristics. In all of them, there are three races of people: the white-winged angels, the black-winged devils, and the wingless humans. The angels and devils hate each other for one reason or another. The humans are relatively weak compared to the winged people and tend to believe the angels are good and that the devils are evil. The truth is usually a bit murkier than that.When the first game came out, it was described as X1999 or Angel Sanctuary meets Final Fantasy Tactics. Nowadays, the series can also be described as a Darker and Edgier Disgaea.note The first Disgaea game can be considered an Alternate Company Equivalent. It shares many similarities with the B/M games that predate it. For starters, both series are SRPGs that feature humans, angels, and devils/demons (both akuma in Japanese) with their own generically-named worlds, the same across both. The demons of Disgaea have a Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad mentality much like the first B/M. The general plot of Disgaea mirrors B/M 2. Both protagonists are family members of their somewhat-dead Maou, are recently awakened/resurrected, working to stabilize Makai in the absence of the Maou, have to contend with humans being manipulated by angels, spend most of the game in Makai with the end part in Tenkai, revolve mostly around a Power Trio dynamic in terms of plot, have a token angel party member, come with multiple endings, and have a new game plus feature. The main differences are general tone and mechanics. Flight-Plan's offering is Darker and Edgier with Anti-Grinding whereas Nippon Ichi's offering is Lighter and Softer with Level Grinding.List of Black/Matrix games (indents indicate re-releases or remakes): Black/Matrix (Sega Saturn; 27th August 1998) Black/Matrix AD (Sega Dreamcast; 30th September 1999) Black/Matrix Cross (Sony Playstation; 14th December 2000 note PSone Classics; 24th December 2009 to 24th December 2010) Black/Matrix II (Sony Playstation 2; 28th March 2002) Black/Matrix Zero (Nintendo Game Boy Advance; 30th August 2002) Black/Matrix 00 (Sony Playstation; 13th May 2004) note PSone Classics; 10th February 2010 to 24th December 2010)Also Excluding re-releases, this was the last PS1 game released in Japan. It was also the last Black/Matrix game as the division in charge was sold to GungHo Online Entertainment after this. | |

Universally Beloved Leader | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_17b7ab65 | comment |
Universally Beloved Leader: Jenarose, back when she was alive, had this among the devils. It's said that even the most foolish of devils in the middle of fighting each other would stop if they heard her request so. Her resurrection is seen as a way to end the in-fighting. Even Psycho Knife Nut Uni, who generally does not use honorifics, uses -sama when referring to her. | |

The Cameo: Faust's appearance in Black/Matrix 2 can be considered this. The circus mini-games in Black/Matrix 00 features characters from the earlier two games. Yes, B/M 00 was released so late in the PS1's life cycle that it has characters that originated from a PS2 game cameo in it. | |

Body-Count Competition | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_253be057 | comment |
Body-Count Competition: Reiji and Uni had one before the start of Black/Matrix II. Technically, Uni won. Due to him being Axe-Crazy, half his kills were those of his own allies. Reiji wasn't abstaining from ally kills either, though he had fewer and would've won if those kills were discounted. | |

Power Gives You Wings: The wingless humans are relatively weak compared to the angels and devils. Since there are only three races in the games, this naturally leads to Puny Humans. An early plot point in Zero is Cain getting a pair of wings. | |

You All Meet in a Cell: In the first game, Abel meets the majority of the plot-centric player characters after he's imprisoned and sentenced to death. | |

Static Role, Exchangeable Character | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_af6e7d83 | comment |
Static Role, Exchangeable Character: The master role in the original Black/Matrix functions in this way. The player chooses Abel's master from several available characters, mostly women representing various character archetypes (but with a secret male character available that made the game a bit of a sensation.) The player's choice of master does not have much impact on how the game proceeds, especially in the Saturn version where this trope overlaps with Schrödinger's Player Character. Among the additions in the the remakes are roles for the non-selected masters in scenarios throughout the game. | |

REmake | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_b224d4c6 | comment |
Remake Displacement: Black/Matrix 00, referred to as the TV version while Black/Matrix Zero was the movie version. The former has eclipsed the latter in popularity and has become the definitive version of the game. | |

Wings Do Nothing: Wings are a sign of power. They grant flight in cut-scenes and other plot related events. Just don't count on it in actual gameplay. | |

Religion is Magic | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_d0309fad | comment |
Religion is Magic: Only the priestly class of black-wings are able to use magic freely; they are different from other black-wings in that they have horns on their heads. Some characters outside this group have spell sets, but can only cast spells when equipped with horn accessories. | |

Only Mostly Dead | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_dd5faec5 | comment |
Only Mostly Dead: In every game but Black/Matrix 00, most units that would take lethal damage first 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. | |

Sliding Scale of Turn Realism | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_e12307f0 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Turn Realism: The games work on a hybrid system of action count and either "Action by Action" or "Turn by Turn". The former is important when grading your progress in story battles. | |

The Power of Blood | |
| Black/Matrix (Video Game) / int_e235202a | comment |
The Power of Blood: It's used to upgrade weapons and also a stand-in for Mana in spellcasting, which unlike other games does not replenish at the end of a battle. Naturally, you earn blood by killing stuff. | |

Expy: Syria and Beir from the Zero games to Sapphael and Elrazak from the second game. Both are a younger sister and older brother pair of blond angels, with the younger sister leaning towards All-Loving Hero and older brother leaning towards The Dragon. | |
