History YMMV / FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld

* HilariousInHindsight: While playing Freddy in Space you can hear Scott talking about sequels. One is these sequels is "Fnaf 61: Freddy vs Bonnie" which he declares to be the start of the Freddy cinematic universe. A bit more than 7 years later and we get [[Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023 an actual movie]], and not only is the game count (including spinoffs) nowhere near the number 61, but there is no fight between Freddy and Bonnie.

* TakeThatScrappy: [[spoiler: Despite its immense difficulty, seeing Chica's Magic Rainbow whine and scream like a child after you humiliated it and destroyed it for good is rather rewarding]].

* TheScrappy: Chica's Magic Rainbow in Update 2. The minigame is pure NintendoHard, it taunts you in that annoying voice and even kills you if you die too many times or [[BerserkButton turn the voices off]]. [[spoiler: And that's not getting into how it's the True Final Boss that's under a [[TimedMission time limit]] that is really hard to beat, even with the new characters you get]].

** The Update 2 characters are much more powerful than the other characters, so playing launch content is much easier. [[spoiler:Scott and Chipper are still hard to get because of the minigame you need to play to beat, though, and even with Update 2 characters, their boss versions are still hard to kill.]]

* DummiedOut: There is a poison attack "Toxic Song" that goes unused in-game, as well as a chip "Curse: Haunting" which has no coding associated with it but would presumably enact the "Haunting" attack upon entering battle or at random intervals.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Soon after the game was released, it was criticized for character stats, levels, and the moves not being immediately clear (or even present) to the player. [[http://steamcommunity.com/games/427920/announcements/detail/72423209271710908 Scott later admitted that he released the game too early, and updated the game to include such features]]. A few days later, he removed it from Steam and offered refunds, and announced that he was going to be re-releasing the game for free once the game's issues were fixed. At this point, it's now up on [=GameJolt=], with Update 2 adding some post-game content.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lolbit. They're an orange-and-purple PaletteSwap of Funtime Foxy with GlowingEyesOfDoom like Marionette and Golden Freddy. Their only role is to sell items to the player, and yet they seem ''just'' as popular to draw as the original Foxy! Plus, being a recolor of [[AmbiguousGender Mangle]] and all, they've been drawn as both genders. This may be why they became an AscendedExtra and were included in [[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation two of the foll]][[Videogame/UltimateCustomNight owing games]]

* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** The fact that you can play as the crying child (who, mind you, is a ''dead kid's ghost'') along with all the more light-hearted and colorful cast of characters.
** In a meta example, fans are not above making a team of the Crying Child, Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare, and another random Nightmare animatronic of their choice for kicks.
** The teaser for Update 2 informs that we can actually play as [[spoiler:the Purple Guy AND Scott Cawthon.]] Let that sink in for a moment.
** The ending with two Fredbears [[spoiler:glitching out and exploding because of a time paradox, which wipes out the universe shortly after]] is mildly disturbing and funny, and your "reward" for doing this is a shiny, silvery trophy of [[spoiler:''Fredbear's lower half'']].

* HarsherInHindsight: At the end of Hard Mode, [[spoiler:[[GodIsEvil Scott himself]] appears as the FinalBoss, angry that people will never be satisfied with his work, no matter how much effort he puts into it.]] Given [[{{Sequelitis}} the game's reception when it was released at the time]] and how [[CreatorBacklash Scott admitted he rushed the game a day later after it was up]], that made it really disheartening...
** Especially if one takes into consideration the lyrics of the fan-made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmdxOPltLiQ I WILL NOT BE MOVED]] music video. The lyrics really could torture those that didn't appreciate the game before. [[spoiler:Given the creators were basing this on Scott Cawthon's rant before and after fighting him, it sure makes things harsher, huh?]]
** In the minigame FNAF 57: Freddy In Space, one of the mock sequels Scott is making is called FNAF 61: Freddy vs. Bonnie, and he also said that the game will begin the Freddy Cinematic Universe. It's obviously a shout-out to Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice, and considering how critics panned both the game and the movie, you could actually feel sorry for both Creator/ScottCawthon and Creator/BenAffleck.

[[http://steamcommunity.com/games/427920/announcements/detail/72423209271710908 Scott later admitted that he released the game too early, and updated the game to include such features]]. A few days later he removed it from Steam and offered refunds, and announced that he was going to be re-releasing the game for free once the game's issues were fixed. At this point, it's now up on [=GameJolt=] with Update 2 adding some post game content.
* CriticalDissonance: Probably the biggest example of this for [=FNAF=] at the time. The reception of the game regarding this trope was ''bad'' when it was new on Steam, although this is again because Scott released the game a bit too early. That being said, by the time Scott pulled it, the game's rating was ([[ArcNumber oddly enough]]) 87%. By this point, Update 2 changed the overall game, and reception was much better.

* DemonicSpiders: The glitch plane enemies, which are so powerful they could even give level 30 characters a run for their money. _>>>>>> (a hybrid of Boxbyte and Graveweed) is probably the worst, as it spams ''Alarm'', an extremely powerful attack that is used by the DiscOneFinalBoss. Likewise, the Prototypes from Blacktomb Yard which use Hot Cheese rather continuously as a way to drain the party members health.

* FanNickname:
** The cartoony animatronics in the game are called either Toon Animatronics, Chibi Animatronics, Kawaii Animatronics or World Animatronics. Scott himself prefers calling them the Adventure Animatronics.
** When it was announced that the game is going to be revamped to replace the 8-Bit overworld, fans called the original version "[=FNaF World=] 1.0" while the new version is called "[=FNaF World=] 2.0" to differentiate it. This was apparently dropped when the freeware version of game was called "Update 1", and the new one would be Update 2, and so on.

* UncannyValley: While a good deal of the robots translate well into the SuperDeformed style, others, not so much. Case in point: the Phantom Puppet, which inexplicably gained small, sharp-looking ''teeth'' during the transition to adorableness, Toy Chica, whose eyes look like they're bulging out of their head... and Shadow Freddy, who actually looks fairly normal. Outside of having, of course, what appears to be ''[[NestedMouths another set of teeth underneath his mask.]]''

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While you're free to play as any animatronic (and then some!), some may be disappointed that they don't have any real dialogue or personality in cutscenes, excluding Fredbear, who acts as MrExposition half the time anyway.
** This is even worse gameplay-wise, the early characters get outclassed by later ones with better moves and stats. You want to play as Freddy for the rest of the adventure for instance? You'll have a hard time using him later down the line then! It's even more apparent with the new area in Update 2, in which the enemies are so strong and your health is drained so rapidly you need the newer characters just to get through.

* ParanoiaFuel: {{Parodied}} with the last line from [[spoiler:[[TheScrappy Chica's]] [[TrueFinalBoss Magic]] Rainbow]]:
-->'''[[spoiler:Chica's Magic Rainbow]]''':''The next time you see a rainbow in the sky it is me, going to your house!''.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Is Fredbear (the NPC one) [[spoiler:a slave to Scott Cawthon or just his controllable creation?]]
** [[spoiler:Is Chipper the real mastermind of the entire story, as evidenced by a music parody, or just a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere with a planned revenge?]]
** The playable animatronics in general. [[spoiler:Are they mindless murderers who go out on a killing spree while viewing everything as a SugarBowl, or just random adventurers who aren't aware of their actions?]] If the former is true, then [[spoiler:Rainbow's]] actions and attitude take on a whole new meaning...
** [[spoiler:Did Scott create the entire game just to get back at the fanbase? And, on that note, was he mistaken in assuming the fans were continually harrasing him?]]

* NightmareRetardant: The [[DrivenToSuicide "Hanging Mangle"]] image is a lot less disturbing when you realize the "noose" has no loop or knot, and Mangle doesn't appear to have a broken neck. That, and, of course, robots don't even breathe... And upon closer inspection, it looks like the ball from the paddle ball is in their mouth.
