The achievement for helping Roxy is called "Number One Fan". In ''Ruin'', [[spoiler:not only is Roxy revealed to be Cassie's favorite, but Roxy actually ''calls'' the girl "Number One (Twice)", and is indeed helped by being redeemed]].

* "Freddy and Friends: On Tour!" is a series of cartoons taking heavy inspiration from Creator/HannaBarbera animation released to promote ''Security Breach''. In December 2022, it was announced that Creator/MatthewLillard, who is famous for playing [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]] in the [[Film/ScoobyDoo2002 live action]] [[Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed movies]] and is his current voice actor, would be playing William Afton in the [=FNAF=] film adaptation.

* During a play of the game', {{LetsPlay/Achievement Hunter}}s Creator/GavinFree and Creator/MichaelJones wonder about what Purple Guy is after beating the third night (and getting Chica killed). Michael says he looks like "a purple mummy". This, as it turns out, is really not that far off the mark ''at all'', now that ''Sister Location'' is out (although the cutscene itself was a RedHerring, as [[spoiler:it was Michael Afton that ended up a living mummy, rather than his father]]).

!!''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'':
* Quite a lot of fans have commented on or joked about how Glamrock Freddy sounds like [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], but then Glamrock Freddy's voice actor (Kellen Goff) would reveal later on that he actually ''has'' voiced Optimus Prime [[https://twitter.com/kellengoff/status/1477451548288454657 before at Universal Studios Hollywood]].
* One of the scrapped movie scripts was a "pawn shop" story, in which a child forms a bond with an animatronic they found with the other robots trying to bring them back to Freddy's. ''Security Breach'' is an actual mainline game with a [[ABoyAndHisX "boy and his animatronic"]] storyline, this time with the child trying to escape the [=PizzaPlex=] with Glamrock Freddy's assistance.

* On April Fools Day, Foxy's (fake) mechanic was to help you out when things were looking dire, referencing the theory of Foxy being a good guy. Come later, and Rockstar Foxy gets a similar mechanic (though he's not entirely good in this case).

!!''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'':
* Now that everyone knows that this game is ''[=FNaF=] 6'', if Scott wants to keep up the facade of ''Pizzeria Simulator'' being a mere spin-off, he needs to actually cancel the "real" ''[=FNaF=] 6''.
* One of the fan nicknames for Springtrap in ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Five Nights at Freddy's 3]]'' was "Salvage". Guess which part of the game Springtrap shows up in this time....
* In ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFuckboys Five Nights at Fuckboy's 3]]'', there is a running joke with several {{Superboss}}es, revealing that Fazbear Entertainment was creating "budget buddies" — basically low-budget animatronics, including using bare endoskeletons as animatronics. Come this game, and with characters such as "Pan Stan" and "No. 1 Crate" (which are just a random junk with attached limbs and drawn faces[=/=]googly eyes), it seems that Fazbear Entertainment really is that lazy.
* Since it appears that this game takes place during the opening hours, it really is your [[VisualNovel/DayshiftAtFreddys day shift at Freddy's]]. [[spoiler:It even has its own Orange Man in one particular minigame.]]
* One of the purchasable animatronics, El Chip, is a blatant call back to Scott's previous game ''Chipper and Sons Lumber Co.'', whose critics accusing the characters looking like creepy animatronics was what inspired him to develop the first ''[=FNaF=]'' game.

!!''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'':
* Back during the development of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'', people postulated that Springtrap was a hybrid of other animatronics. [[spoiler:Ennard in this game actually ''is'' a conglomerate of the other ''Sister Location'' animatronics.]]
* The initial confusion over [[spoiler:whether or not William was Springtrap]] in the final Custom Night cutscene now seems rather quaint, considering Scott went above and beyond clarifying the issue; not only by [[spoiler:having a returning Springtrap [[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames credited as William Afton]]]] in ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'', but also ''copyrighting'' that particular instance of the character under the same name.

!!''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'':
* ''Typhoon Cinema'' made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN3gBepo2ls video]] including a small Springtrap plushie. Come the [[http://i.imgur.com/trzR16r.jpg seventh teaser]], there's a small Springtrap named Plushtrap; he's even sitting on a chair, just like in the video.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf63MUmL7m0 These]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09rc7eQa1Hk&index=18&list=PLlD9jSJ1xSBYeDUtTuwP_q6EO1UOxhO27 videos]] are even more hilarious as [[spoiler:the cupcake can now jumpscare you. Bonus points as the cupcake in the video has teeth like its nightmare design]]
* Way back in the first game's Custom Night, players would set the animatronics to 1-9-8-7 in hopes of finding out more information about the Bite of '87, or even play ''during'' the day/night of the event, [[spoiler:only to have it trigger Golden Freddy's jumpscare before crashing the game. At the time, people just assumed Scott was acting as a TrollingCreator, but since this game shows that Fredbear/Golden Freddy actually ''was'' the cause of the Bite of '8[[ThereIsAnother 3]],]] perhaps fans actually did get a clue about the event they were hoping for.
* People loved to make joke theories about how the cupcake was actually a persisting threat in the games. Now it ''really'' is.
* The subtitle of this game is "The Final Chapter", presumably named after the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' film with the same name, which was decidedly '''not''' the final chapter in that franchise. Come ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'', and the game's subtitle is parallel with the film's.

* This isn't Like Foxy's jumpscare in the first game, people thought Balloon Boy wasn't that scary in his first appearance.

* Springtrap's pre-release nicknames "Hybrid" and "Salvage" are still accurate post-release, as the game provided different contexts. [[spoiler:Springtrap ''is'' a hybrid, not of combined suits, but of a costume and an animatronic, and he wasn't salvaged from parts at Freddy's, but rather, appears to have been salvaged from the Fazbear's Fright fire.]]
** Not
only series with that, but he's also [[spoiler:part animatronic, part human]].
* The initial assumption prior to ''3''[='=]s release of Springtrap [[spoiler:being several animatronics combined into one]] is amusingly accurate in hindsight, given what the FinalBoss of ''[[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Sister Location]]'' is.

!!''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'':
* The newspaper in the game's opening, Scott mentions getting a job as a sack boy, a cashier or a warehouse worker is both better and more dignified than working at Freddy's. A year after the game's release, he claimed that he was working as a cashier at the time he made the game.

!!''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'':

* A common FridgeLogic question in the original game was, "Why couldn't Mike just wear a Freddy Fazbear suit to fool the animatronics?" You can do that in the second game; the trade-off is that you can't use the cameras or flashlight while wearing it, you don't have any doors, you have ''three'' entrances to your office instead of two, and it doesn't affect Foxy, Mangle,[[note]]only while it's in your office[[/note]] or the Puppet at all.
* The difficulty of protecting yourself from four killer animatronics with only two doors and limited power was lampshaded by the fandom over and over again. But seeing as how [[spoiler:this is a prequel]], who could've guessed that the infamous ''[=FNaF 1=]'' guard Mike Schmidt actually got it 'easier' than his [[spoiler:predecessors]]?

[[spoiler:Turns out that ''2'' is a prequel and this image is an awful lot like what happens in the game's ending, with the new animatronics set to be scrapped and the old ones due to be refurbished and used for [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys the next Freddy's location]].]]
* When Toy Bonnie was first revealed, the fanbase [[ReplacementScrappy hated him for replacing the original Bonnie.]] Now, he's an [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorse]], getting the most affection out of all the Toys.
* Balloon Boy is a small robot whose body consists mainly of a sphere, and his initials are "BB". An entire year later, the world was introduced to [[Film/TheForceAwakens BB-8]].
* This isn't the only series with a [[MarvelUniverse Purple Man]].
