Added DiffLines:

* FranchiseKiller: The negative reception of both ''VideoGame/DawnOfMana'' and ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMana'' as well as series creator Koichi Ishii's departure from Square-Enix resulted in the series being put in hiatus for years, aside for a few mobile games. However, the series was brought back in 2016 with a remake of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyAdventure the first game]].

* {{Vaporware}}: ''Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur'' was a Famicom Disk System game that started development in 1987. Its goals were too big for its britches, and the game collapsed under its own weight. A completely unrelated title named ''Gemma Knights'' was then renamed and released on the Game Boy as the series-starting game we're all familiar with; the creators thought the name Seiken Densetsu was too slick of a trademark to lose.

* WordOfGod: The reason why the ''[[CompilationRerelease Collection of Mana]]'' is exclusive to the ''UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch''? Because Nintendo had the source code for all three games, according to Masaru Oyamada, the current producer of the series.
