* DiedDuringProduction: Due to Monty's untimely death in February 2015, the series won't be coming out of hiatus.
* OrphanedSeries: Even prior to Monty's death, with his move to working on ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}'' he had basically lost any interest in continuing this fan project. Since Monty did not own any stake in ''Final Fantasy '' nor ''Dead or Alive'', he could not really turn a profit on the episodes, aside from notoriety which is what helped get him the opportunity to make his own original content in the first place. That coupled with the toxic and demanding fanbase and it was unlikely ''Dead Fantasy'' was ever going to get a proper Episode 6 or beyond.
* ScheduleSlip: The first five episodes came out within a three-year time space (not counting the three-minute preview of part six). That was in 2009. Due to his death in February 2015, the series will forever be unfinished.
* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Monty used to be more active on the Facebook fan group, from posting previews to commenting on general conceptions, and even asking to hear the fans' speculation on the series. However, he would also get ''at least'' one comment about ''Dead Fantasy'' on every status and photo he posted, regardless of the relevancy. This ranged from simply asking for a release date to people demanding that he "get off his lazy ass" and finish the series. This apparently reached the breaking point when someone made a comment regarding the series in a photo he was tagged in. The photo? '''''Him and his family standing in front of his recently deceased mother's wake.''''' Shortly afterward, Monty converted his profile into a like page that he rarely used. Twitter was the only social media outlet that he updated regularly until his death.
