Kingdom Hearts the animated series almost happened
When Kingdom Hearts released in 2002 it was immediately clear to Square and Disney that they had a hit on their hands. In that same year Disney started work on a pilot based off the first game that would hopefully lead to a television series. While this project had been heavily rumored for over ten years it was Seth Kearsley who was heavily involved with this project that proved it's existence when he uploaded a story board he drew for the pilot on his Deviantart page. This story board is from an episode that would feature Sora, Donald, and Goofy visiting Agrabah. Riku is also visiting this world at the same time on a mission for Maleficent. Seth played through the entire first game when he started the project and his love for the game really shows in these few boards he drew. Also since he was working with Disney at the time he was allowed to use the original art used in the movie Aladdin for backgrounds. While the pilot tested extremely well, the project was cancelled before anything else could come from it. This was due to the fact Square had already started planning more titles in the Kingdom Hearts series

Why Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a distraction and not a gift for fans
Square Enix had a great E3 in 2013 with the announcement of Final Fantasy XV along with many other great titles releasing soon. Ever since then Square has been doing its best job to keep fans of the series content until they were ready to show  more with other titles such as Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy X|X-2. Naturally most people assumed they were waiting for E3 2014 since no major news for Final Fantasy XV had appeared since its reveal last June, but a few days before the event started we got word that the game would remain silent for some time longer. While many fans were extremely disappointed to hear this, it must have been a real surprise to Square Enix just how little they had to show without it at E3 this year. Die hard Final Fantasy fans did glimpse a glimmer of hope, however, with the announcement of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - although ultimately it ended up coming off as a real afterthought as it was "officially" announced at the end of a trailer for the iOS and Android game Final Fantasy Agito, a free to play companion
