History WhatCouldHaveBeen / FiveNightsAtFreddys

* Shown in Scott's Voices.com feedback, some of the actors auditioned as different animatronics before being given their final roles. Zach Hoffman, Eric D. Ward, Matthew Curtis and Darbi Logan (Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare, Nightmare BB/Music Man and Withered Chica) also auditioned for Nightmarionne before Creator/AleksLe was chosen. Tim Simmons (Nightmare Freddy) and Stephanie Belinda Quinn auditioned for Classic Freddy and Toy Bonnie before being recast, so these two animatronics do not speak. Tim Simmons would finally voice Freddy in ''Special Delivery''.

* According to Kane Carter, even characters from the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative such as VideoGame/{{Popgoes}} and [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandy's Candy]] [[https://twitter.com/POPGOESdev/status/1679613730189967362 were considered to appear]] in the game.

** Glamrock Chica originally walked more livid like the other Glamrocks, before her ZombieGait was added in the State of Play trailer and the final game. The scene where she plays her guitar as Gregory walks by her green room also had her stand in a different position than in the final game.

** One shot of the trailer shows a clear elevator with Vanessa staring right at Gregory from outside it as it descends. This particular elevator in-game is found in the prize area near the fire escape, but is never used as it is part of the MortonsFork route where Vanessa catches Gregory before he can take an alternate exit. Through hacking to fly beneath the floor, it is shown the elevator would've descended down to the main lobby, where currently in-game, construction obstructs Gregory from being able to call the elevator.

* A few unintended glitches and fans datamining revealed that the Showtime button was meant to trigger a scene where the hub stage's curtains open and Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy would talk, sing, and move, Christoper [=McCullough=] reprising his role as Foxy and Creator/KellenGoff reprising Freddy, while Joe Gaudet and Creator/AmberLeeConnors voiced Bonnie, and Chica for the first time. Unfortunately, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/bwiw7g/concerning_showtime_and_the_secret_images/ Scott Cawthon posted on Reddit]] explaining that the original, complete animation was finished, but he had ultimately "made the call to leave it out" as it was "one of those things that needs to feel 110% to me". He later clarified that he was not fully satisfied with Freddy's singing voice. [=HandUnit=]'s introduction to the song was still accessible within normal gameplay, the original soundfile for the introduction, as shown in initial builds, plays in the Pizza Party level when [[spoiler:the player gets stuffed into Freddy by Glitchtrap]], but in the final version, [=HandUnit=] glitches out at the end. The instrumental is also accessible by playing the credits from the main menu, and three remixes of the tune appear in the game, these being the theme for the Blacklight hub, the theme from the Blacklight version of Bonnie's Parts and Services level, and the Pizza Party level. Christopher [=McCullough=] would still get to reprise Foxy in ''Curse of Dreadbear'''s Pirate Ride level, however. Said introduction would be [[RefittedForSequel officially used]] in the intro of ''Security Breach''.

* The same [=PS4=] pre-release build also showcased unused animatons for Vanny, including an idle animation, multiple walk and run cycles, her crawling on the floor, and, for unknown reasons, her [[NarmCharm doing a cartwheel]].

* Chica was originally going to have a ValleyGirl voice, and some of her lines with said voice were found in the pre-release version of the game's code. However, this was scrapped for unknown reasons and replaced with her current lines.
