So did we learn anything new? It just validated the books.

We now know Henry did jack shit, Edwin built all the animatronics

>>712753887 (OP)
>It just validated the books.
*Invalidated
It decanonized the books by making a bunch of huge changes. Also we learned that Edwin and his wife created springlocks, the classic animatronic designs, the FNAF 1 Pizzeria, Chica and Foxy in general, the Mediocre Melodies, basically everything aside from the Funtimes, Toys and Withereds. Also there are two Mimics, one of them becomes MXES and the other becomes Ruin Mimic. Also William is responsible for ruining Edwin's life via stealing his business and all of his employees. And the FNAF 4 house used to belong to Edwin, and the setting of SoTM got turned into the Sister Location bunker.

>>712753887 (OP)
Robot sex is canon

>>712754387
FNAF4 house thing is retarded, because that room in SotM doesn't have 2 pairs of doors. Let's not even mention how the corridors you see in FNAF4 wouldn't make sens specially.
It's not the same house

>>712753887 (OP)
i dont know can we fuck the blonde fem security guard?

>>712755050
She's not in the game
MXES isn't in it either
Everything is a waste of time

>>712753887 (OP)
>>712754227
>>712754387
you read books about this shit?

Faggots! Bwhahaha!

>>712754868
So it's just a near identical room in another house that's on a near identical hill that also just so happens to be owned by William and both just so happen to be connected to separate giant underground bunkers? That sounds even more retarded

>>712754868
There can only be one house with the ajar closet doors like that.

>>712755126
>MXES isn't in it either
Lol. Finish the fucking game nigga

5 hours at freddy's games have been a mistake

>>712753887 (OP)
wait its already out?

>>712755312
On friday, Anon.

>>712755172
You literally like Repo Room

>>712755191
>So it's just a near identical room
The room is compleatly different asside from a few mass produced toys and a walk in closet doors.

And you see FNAF 4 house in the FNAF 4 menu. It's a different house

>>712754387

I really don't understand why game devs do this shit. Why not make new characters with new stories rather than "Oh, you see my brand new OC? it was actually part of ALL old lore and uhhh he interacted with ALL previous characters and uhh ACTUALLY HE CREATED EVERYTHING"

>>712755790
Because when they make new stories people go "WHERE'S PURPLE GUY WHERE'S SPINKO THE THUNDER BUNNY FROM FNAF 24" so why not just rehash everything over and over

EVERYBODY

>>712758831
she was a cowgirl?

>>712754387
I like that Edwin and his wife are the origin of Helpy and the reason we keep getting different variations of him are because the mimic self inserts as him.

My name is Edwin

I made the MIMIC

It was difficult to put the pieces together

did they added more purple guy crazy ass lore? I haven't played fnaf in almost a decade but that stuff would go so insane
what the FUCK was his deal

so essentially, Henry stole Edwin's designs and claimed them as his own?

>>712759712
No they paid Edwin to construct shit for them, because he has a robot factory and they have a pizzeria.
Fiona designed Chica, but that was for a different reststaurant then unrelated to Fredbear

>>712759613
>fucks over a guy with making short deadlines and canceling orders to get him bankrupt and stuck with unsold prototypes
>once the guy goes under Willy takes the prototypes, the workshop and the guy's house for free

>>712759613
He likes to fuck over people of all age groups in his free time.

I'm starting to think that this "Willy M. Afton" guy is kinda rude

>>712759613
>slimy businessman who ran the entire Freddy's company
>was also a mad scientist who killed children in order to melt their souls into Immortality Juice
>ran a former friend's company to the ground so he could buy it out and steal all of its assets (including the robotic clones of the man's wife and son)
>built robots for the sole purpose of child murder
>had three children
>one accidentally got killed by one of his murder robots
>another had his head chomped by one of his non-murder robots
>intentionally sacrificed the last one in order to free his murder robots/ghost daughter so they could murder more people
>gets killed by the faulty design in his own robot suit but also survives this somehow
>spends a few years as a cryptid wandering around Utah stabbing people with his sword arm
>gets tricked into getting burned to death
>spends the rest of eternity playing FNAF in hell with one of his victims
>except the robotic clones of that one guy's wife and son had been watching the entire time and turn themselves into clones of purple guy instead
>clones keep his legacy going by killing people in the triple digits and also brainwashing other people into believing purple guy is their father

>>712760648
I'm starting to think Steel Wool and Scott are turning him into a saturday morning cartoon villain
He's responsible for everything but never shows up, you just gotta assume it happened offscreen

>>712761008
See what I mean, he's somehow comically incompetent. tragic and evil at the same time.

>>712753887 (OP)
>caring about FNAF after UCN

>>712761008
The books aren't canon but in those he escapes from hell, gains the power to control the weather, gets the game theory guy pregnant and turns into a 30 foot tall giant trash monster

Threadly reminder this is all Scott's fault. He fucked up the very basic concept of "explainin the plot of Security Breach" and now we have to tie William Afton to a 1970's asspull so it can make sense, even when Ruin ignores everything that's happening and the books are where the main story is happening.

>>712761026
Same with Fazbear Entertainment.

Speaking of them, isn't it weird how we've known about this company for 10+ years but don't really know anyone who works there? The only people we know to have some sort of higher up connection are Phone Guy and Dispatch/Hand Unit.

>>712761205
This.
UCN and Pizz Sim are the perfect ending.
If you absolutely want to touch the following games just see them as non canon shit or alternate universe nonsense.

>>712761008
one of the evilest bastard of vidya, the hell is next

>>712758831
Well at least they;re acknowledging how everyone wants to see more of her, maybe there is hope she didn't job to the Mimic...

>AI and advanced animatronics in the 70s
Ridiculous

>>712753887 (OP)
Just beat this part, I think FNAF is at its best gameplay-wise when you're solving esoteric mechanical puzzles while under pressure. I also loved Vent Repair in Help Wanted so that tracks.

>>712766235
OH LAWD HE COMING

>>712753887 (OP)
The more I learn about the innerworkings of FNAF the less I like it.

Is this a sequel to security breach?

>>712766235
To elaborate on this, FNAF has the unique advantage of having most of its antagonists me machines. So any behavior where they COULD kill you but DON'T can be attributed to "they're malfunctioning (or functioning correctly)".
Few other games you get the chance to be face to face with the thing that could kill you and even do things like operate on it (every single Parts & Service segment in the series)

>>712766569
It's the background story of the monster revealed at the end of the DLC of security breach that ignores everything that happens in the actual game.

>>712766569
Prequel, sort of. It's set in the far past and expands on the twist antagonist of RUIN

>>712766602
Agreed, just a shame everything else surrounding the series is top-cringe.

since edwin basically did everything now, what the hell did Henry make?

>>712766860
Aura farm at the end of UCN.

>>712766901
>>712766860
Meant Pizzeria but really who gives a fuck now, dude is not mentioned at all in the first 5 games and what little he had is now retconned into Edwin's work.

One thing I like about William is that he's objectively a genius of his field and yet his entire career is defined by his jealousy/saltiness targeted at his peers.

The audio log or wall tape or whatever you'd call it where the Mimic mimics Edwin and treats him like his kid while he's dying seemingly from blood loss since it sounds like the Mimic ripped off his legs is something else, man. Like yeah, ol Eddie was a bit of a dick and incredibly short-sighted but he didn't have to go out like that.

>>712774282
>audio logs
>for fnaf

>>712774486
Phone guy calls are basically audio logs thoughever

I can't believe I'm now excited for the movie because at least then Henry and William will remain important characters

Since SOTM released, people have been quick to criticize Edwin's lore for the following reasons:

>Edwin created all FNaF animatronics

>he is shoehorned into previous FNaF lore

>his existence minimizes Henry's genius

However I would like to point out that aside from all of the other counterpoints already discussed in past threads here on /v/ and /vg/ (Edwin being ONLY a contractor, Fredbear's existing prior to the game meaning Henry still made the first springlocks himself...), Edwin's role fills a gap that has been set up ever since FNaF 3.

In FNaF 3, Phone Guy tells us that during the 80's, Freddy's was a franchise. Not a single location, but multiple, sprawling throughout the USA. This is supported by Chica's Part World and the mention of franchise locations in SOTM.

Now, taking this into account with Henry's story, do you REALLY think that Henry made all of the animatronics for ALL locations? Of course not. He would have to make designs, prototypes mayhaps, but then to allow a manufacturer to MASS PRODUCE these. Just like Chuck E Cheese hires Garner Holt to create animatronics based on their designs.

This is supported once again in FNaF 3 by Phone Guy stating that the hand cranks of the springlock suits are 'provided by the manufacturers'.

Who is that manufacturer? Edwin. It's Edwin. And he fills this already existing role in the story.

Henry could have never made ALL the animatronics for all the fazbear locations, and logic tells us that he had to contract someone to do that.

man, they really need to do a hard reboot of the series
i liked FNAF 1-4 and having two different bites was already kinda eh
6 wrapped things nicely enough, I really don't get why they kept going with the same characters

>>712759613
It's heavily implied that Purple guy caused Edwin's MCM to collapse so he could get everything he rents to keep as his own as well as this is how he discovered remnant/returning people from the dead.
If we find out he was the cause of Fiona's death it will confirm that Purple guy caused everything

>>712761261
>gains the power to control the weather, gets the game theory guy pregnant and turns into a 30 foot tall giant trash monster
God William is based

>>712774670
>thoughever

Well howdy, partner

>>712776256
Was Fiona a furry?

>>712759086
No, earliest mentions of her realistically was a joke picture about a fnaf merch game called bears in space which precedded SB. Retroactive versions of characters happen all the time in the series.

>>712761426
It's robots all the way down.

>>712776547
Probably. Pic related

>>712778689
We know Stan (Stan's Budget Tech) was an employee of Edwins who was scalped by Hen and A.W

>>712753887 (OP)
>>712766235
So if mimic is the only animatronic active in the building does that mean the jack in the box robot and the ticket taker guy were just the mimic as well? What about that mail letter robot guy that got smashed? I thought the mimic was just a robot that was skinny enough to wear a costume not some weird flexbot decoy octopus thing that can fit into anything and stretch around over 20 feet.

>>712755790
Because the general public wants the references and appearances from what made them popular. Why do you think Star Wars has dipped into the original trilogy and now prequel trilogy well so much? Why do you think Yakuza is constanly focusing on Kiryu despite Ichiban taking over the reins?

Is there anything that lazy purple fucker and that gay bearded twat ACTUALLY made themselves?

>>712780219
Henry made an elaborate tinderbox to kill himself, William's only remaining son, and all of the remaining robots. And it was based as fuck. He was the only one to go down on his own terms

>>712780219
Balloon boy?

>>712780219
Uhh, Willy created Circus Baby, who killed his own daughter
And uhhh, Henry created Lefty, a machine designed specifically to restrain the berserk ghost of his dead daughter, so he could kill her again, and...
I'm starting to notice a pattern

>>712780349
>all of the remaining robots
Ahem...
MY NAME IS THE FUCKING MIMIC OH YEAH

>>712780349
I thought that was the business partner. Henry was a corpse stalking around the back alleys at that time.

>>712770951
He's a genius, but so is Henry and so is Edwin and that makes him feel like he's not being acknowledged. He has all the business acumen, he is the reason they are successful but he's not treated as their god and that's demeaning

>>712780546
William is purple man, Henry is the other guy

>>712780624
That's right. Did Henry get disemboweled during sister location? Because I imagine torching himself wouldn't be that bad after experiencing that.

>>712761008
It got retconned that Edwin invented the spring locks and just didn't give a fuck about the safety issues because "it's just teenagers wearing them"

>>712780349
>and all of the remaining robots
yeah, about that...

>>712780819
No the was Michael, William's son. He also gets torched by Henry but only because he wants to
>And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job posting, not intended for you
>There was a way out planned for you, but I have a feeling that's not what you want, that you are exactly where you want to be

>>712779883
You're confusing Henry with William.

>>712780886
that boy f. freddy hath grown too large

Secret of Fucking Mimic would've been funny if the creator didn't pretend to be playing it.

>>712780219
Didn't Big Willy more or less achieve a functional immortality? That and a lot of dead kids. He's an accomplished individual.

>>712781145
He was killed in Pizzaria Simulator finally and the ghost of Golden Freddy refuses to let him pass on fully so he's trapped being tortured in hell forever when the devil himself just wants to let him pass

The new game was fun. I really enjoyed it. Roxy making a cameo appearance was something I didn't expect.

>>712753887 (OP)
i stopped following the lore after FNAF 3, does this game still have Springtrap, Freddy and co.? or is it new characters alltogether?

>>712781393
It would be nice to know if Roxy or Cassie survived, at least.

>"lore" behind a zoomer jumpscare game

man
I'm NOT good with chase sequences

What always strikes me as weird is how nobody seemed to give a shit about the games from a gameplay/difficulty perspective. Even on here FNAF1 busted everyone's balls and it did a LOT to keep people talking about it, but nothing after it seemed to have that same effect, 2-4 got "solved" relatively quickly and SL onward are just walking sims, with all the fangames just having arbitrary "has the behavior of this one robot from the official series" copouts. Did Scott just have lightning in a bottle with the first game or what?

>>712783476
have you done 10/20 in fnaf 2?

>>712783476
Well, this chase >>712783015 is kicking my ass right now because it seems to be slightly randomized
Big Top is stomping in different locations every time I run through it so I have to take different doors each time and it disorients me and I end up bumping into a wall and dying like a retard

>>712783015
jesus christ this guy doesn't quit

They still make stuff for this shit? Why?

>>712786334
Because it sells. Don't forget the Dead by Daylight collab later this month, and the new movie in December.

>>712753887 (OP)

To make a story with the expectation the player has read the novels is cause for negative reviews. Legitimately, how many of you have even read The Silver Eyes? The Twisted Ones? The Fourth Closet? Any of the Fazbear Frights books?
It's like when Halo started expecting people to read the novels and most players, understandably, tapped out. Or when Marvel expected movie watchers to watch their terrible tv shows, followed on those characters in movies and it only led to movie goers wondering "who the fuck was that guy?".

So is this series just a thinly veiled Terminator prequel?
The machinery and animatronics seem to be borderline like T-units.

>>>fnaf fan

>>712783551
Fnaf 2 is the runner-up at least but was still figured out very quickly compared to 1 (gif related). I still distinctly recall people on here speculating how each animatronic worked including bullshit claims that Golden Freddy was a punishment for leaving both doors closed for too long, Foxy taking some of your power each time he got blocked, Freddy being able to use either hallway to reach you, etc. That's the kind of thing I want to see, the AI not getting figured out right away and there being an obvious "guaranteed win" pattern you can just do.

>>712755790
I don't understand why pople are upset with this. Why does it matter if Henry wasn't the original creator? If anything, it makes his character more interesting since now it's proven he wasn't a saint and was just as shitty of a person as William and gives more credibility to him turning a blind eye all the shady shit William was doing. One is a con-artist obsessed with profit and the other a psycopath

>>712790947
The difference is that FNAF came out at a time where Randoms explaining lore on youtube was popular and known, and FNAF embodied that kind of content.
So (you) are not expected to read the books, 8 year old's and 20 something's who make lore videos are meant tp.
(you) are expected to be watching the lore on youtube.

So is there a lore explanation as to why David's ghost manifests as a animatronic tiger and tries to kill a random dude being attacked by the Mimic instead of helping him stop it from slaughtering people.

I cannot imagine being 18+ and playing fnaf games not made by Scott Cawthon. They are all aimed at children.

>>712797010
I don't know what to tell you man. The VR games are a blast.

>>712797010

>>712796687
>his character more interesting
How?
>it's proven he wasn't a saint and was just as shitty of a person as William
William killed his daughter after he made the not-kill-my-daughter robot
>credibility to him turning a blind eye all the shady shit William was doing
He killed his daughter and 6 kids on his restaurant

Now he's just a fucking retard that did a cool speech once and then died.

>>712796793
Same lore explanation that makes the 5 kids murder everyone using the animatronics
They're just stupid and aimless

>>712797821
Yeah but it was a pretty cool speech

>Steel Wool retconned William and Henry into being fraud who invented nothing!
How did you anons come to this conclusion? Edwin's just a contracter hired by Fazbear to make more animatronics because Will and Henry can't do it by themselves for every location in America.

>>712796793
We don't know if that thing is David

>>712798486
What other dead kid obsessed with Tiger Rock exists in the 70s, Anon?

>>712753887 (OP)
I was surprised they shadow dropped this. I thought it was another fancy fan game.

>>712798534
The date was announced weeks ago and they've been dropping teasers with the in-game commercials from Edwin's business
No one gives a fuck anymore this franchise is dead

It just strikes me as weird to tell the ‘untold real story’ of FNAF nearly 10 years after the conclusion of the mainline series.

>>712800049
It's fine to make a new villain with the mimic, it's ridiculous that this thing got created before any of the dead kids ever got killed, then it did jack shit for 50 years and now he comes back for Security Breach.

I just made more FNaF lore for you, crazy zoomer retards falls for this easy lore-bait
nothing really matters in this game because they are never going to conclude this money making machine
they are going to keep adding random shit to their """story""" to activate dysfunctional neurons of their brain-dead fans

>>712755191
Are fnaf fans literally blind?

>>712800970
THey've been conditioned to be retarded.
SotM room being FNAF4 room makes sense because FNAF4 room was already the byproduct of schizo hallucination gas in a bunker. The franchise is too retarded to make sense.

Are the fucking FNaF books, especially the Pizzaplex books basically Goosebumps and Goosebumps Horrorland?
>Used to read Goosebumps 24/7 as a kid
>Eventually stopped around 11 or 12

>>712801059
I understand that it would make sense if the mansion is the fnaf 4 house and the sotm bedroom is the fnaf 4 gameplay room but... but look at them. They're different rooms. They're different houses. If the devs wanted to tell us that they're the same, they would have actually made them look the same

>>712801139
Yes, it's goosebumps with a loose FNAF skin

>>712753887 (OP)
>The books
Were an alternate continuity retard
Unless they decided to change that recently.

>>712801208
No, the new game confirms that they're just a parallel

>>712801059
>FNAF4 room was already the byproduct of schizo hallucination gas
Retard you see the floor plan od Afton's FNAF4 house in Sister Location.

Does anyone remember when this series was about some Dead Kids haunting a Pizzaria?

>>712801269
I think that's what they mean. The room isn't a hallucination but used in the hallucination gas experiments

>>712801253
Does it really? Or is just the DBS effect where one canon adapts parts from the other and fans for some reason think theyre the same canon now?

>>712801313
book!Edwin and family live a different life from game!Edwin and family (book!Fiona dies from childbirth, game!Fiona dies during Fall Fest, theré are two mimics in the games compared to the book's one, the factory is different)

Tales of the Pizzaplex is canon to the games
Fazbear Frights is a separate timeline

>>712801425

He probably dropped a 300-page lore bible on them after the game hit shelves like “oh btw this is actually a secret prequel to Help Wanted 2 through an unreliable narrator lens.” No one on the dev team knew what dimension they were in.

MY NAME IS THE FUCKING MIMIC AW YEAH

>>712753887 (OP)
What was with all the alien isolation references in this game? The mimic is like a xenomorph that can turn into any foreign creature by getting inside of it. The data driver was clearly based on the access tuner. The super old time computer interfaces and graphics were inspired by alien isolation's use of them The small time family company MCN getting absorbed by the shadowy megacorp is like Seegson getting absorbed by Weyland Yeutani. The heavy focus on family dynamics and loss is parallel to the ripleys' struggles. And of course there's killer robots everywhere in the video game. There's no way lord/game theory tards would figure out this kind of layered referencing because it's too outside of their knowledge pool, so why even bother?

I WANT SOME ICECREAM. DAVID. THAT IS MY NAME.

>>712805702
Of course they didn't take any of the gameplay mechanics because steel wool sets out to make walking simulators like most indie horror developers.

Dead kids haunting a pizzeria is FNaF1. FNaF2 is faulty super advanced 80s AI + dead kids still haunting shit (but its a prequel). FNaF3 is dead Purple serial killer furry undead inventor psychopath genius necromancer alcoholic conman scammer plagiarist dad haunting a horror attraction in his foreverial fursuit and giving his kid staredowns until he sets his ass on fire.
Such a good franchise.

Let's see

>FNAF 2
Only the Withered, Golden Boy and Puppet
>FNAF 3
Only one balding furry and not even a pizzeria
>FNAF 4
LOL

>>712810917
>Dead kids haunting a pizzeria is FNaF1
They don't say that in that game in a vacuum though, just that they move for some reason because of freeroam mode, and they attack you because they think you're an animatronic without a suit on so they're trying to help you put a suit on, killing you, and there was a BITE OF 87?!?!

>>712811134
FNaF1 has a bunch of clues that there's dead kids haunting shit though. All the rare newspaper clippings about dead kids in the pizzeria, unfound bodies and the weird shit like blood and odor coming from the animatronics. The labored breathing from the animatronics, the occasional childish laughter, the weird semi-aware behavior that couldn't possibly come from a god damn animatronic just set to walk around, fucking Golden Freddy just spawning in the office. It's obvious they're haunted, and there's an obvious indication of what's haunting them. People knew what was up even before FNaF2 cemented the storyline with le man behind the slaughter and the Puppet.

>>712811070
>Only one balding furry and not even a pizzeria
I would say that it still counts as Freddy's since its "Fazbear Frights", its still an establishment themed around Freddy's
>LOL
>LMAO
Nowadays fnaf 4 is in the same underground location that SL is in and both are part of fazbear entertainment and also they are literally the basement of Fredbear's Family Diner. So that counts as "at Freddy's"
>Not even a real pizzeria
Eh, still a Freddy's

>>712811070
Isnt frights just freddy's pizzeria but retrofitted to be a horror location?

I'm 100% sure this was meant to be a VR game, there's just way too much manual labor for it to have been designed as a regular game (like having to manually rotate the puzzle pieces of just being a single button press).
Also the window effects looks absolutely horrendous.

>>712753887 (OP)
>so did we learn anything
security breach could have been kino if scott weren't a hack

>>712812093
VR mode is coming soon.

>>712812326
Figured. But I'm more surprised they didn't released both at the same time, the regular PC version was clearly an afterthought.

>decide to watch playthrough on Youtube
>try several different youtubers
>ManlyBadassHero is the only one who isn't completely retarded or ignore everything that isn't the main path
Anyway, game seems to be pretty shit.

>>712812437
Originally it was supposed to. There first store listings advertised the VR compatibility features. But VR mode was pushed back, more than likely because VR games just don’t sell and they wanted everyone to buy it instead of just watch a streamer react to it in VR.

>>712754227
I can't wait for the next game where they reveal purple guy's uncle manufactured bolts for the robots

>>712811846
No, it was built in some theam park. They found Springtrap in a real Freddy's and bussed him to the new spot

>fnaf
You need to be 18 to post here.

>>712813334
nigger it's a 10 years old franchise, all FNAF zoomers are in their 20s now

>>712813334
NO U. /v/ caught onto FNaF long before MatPat or even PDP. There were FNaF threads within hours of the first game being released. Remember Old /v/ used to have Desolate Hope threads before FNaF was even a thing. There’s always been discussion on here.

>>712755790
Brother. Scott wrote this shit. He has always been. The reason security breach was so fucking vague and a mess is because Scott just told them pieces and vague hits because he didn't want Steel Woole to leak the story. It was so bad he just started actually telling them what's going. It's why every other game sense has been better plot wise. So it's Scott who decided that William and Henry were just some untalented hacks who one MAYBE mad Yellow Rabbit and Fredbear.

>>712813334
>v wasnt the first group to find it
Congrats on your 18!! Congrats!

>>712761426
I just assumed it was a local franchise with a ton of disposable cash. Like, despite the dead kids, they seemed really popular. So now they have a factory of shit they can repurpose for their restaurant and corner the market. Which would kinda make sense because all the shit Edwin made was too unstable given how ahead of it's time it was. Other places couldn't compete. So those two could have just been the only ones at the time directing things. Henry mods the robots, and William deals with the money and logistics. Everyone below them were and best store managers. It's what I assumed with the little info we got.

So in the FNAF universe, when someone goes berserk from being overworked and treated like shit, it's called Going Freddy?

>>712814494
>Like, despite the dead kids, they seemed really popular
This retcon is so funny because they're a small local restaurant in fnaf 1 who is going out of business and then all the sequels have it spend 10 billion dollars on advanced robotics and giant underground bunkers

>>712753887 (OP)
>>712754227
>>712759712
I feel like such a fucking oldtroon, you people actually follow this shit? Cawthon just makes it up as he goes along, every game since 2014 has been some level of a retcon.

>>712815208
I stopped caring for the story after Pizza Sim, it was obvious past that point they were just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, and this game is the perfect example, they've been pushing the Mimic, some random endo from one of the bagillion books, as the antagonist now.
Even in the Ruin DLC, the fucker is a literal 5 seconds antagonist. He talks to you the entire game, and then you encounter him ONCE and it's the end.

>>712815208
I'm almost 30 years old and only got into FNAF last year but I love this franchise to bits now. It's a damn good horror franchise that consistently comes out with games each year on top of other media.

>>712816112

I've followed this series since the first game and even I wouldn't say that-at least not since Pizzeria Simulator.

>>712811070
>FNAF
>All animatronics
Golden Freddy.
The next two games confirmed there were Ghosts in the first games Animatronics.

>>712819226
It's better than Resident Evil which is generic horror slop devoid of any soul.
>>712817452
It works out better this way because the lore is already spelt out for me. I do wish I was there since the beginning.

So, guys, have you heard about Goddavid? the theory is that everything that happens to the crying child and Gregory is because of this incident because of Edwin sperging out moment with the mimic. leading to all the events to the origins of the series?

Goddavid?...

It kinda invalidated them more, it is a "Broad strokes" situation.

But basically:

>Henry did nothing.
>William is a IP/Patent Thief who contracts trolled to get all the shit in his and Henrys hands.
>Edwin created most of the shit (as Contract work, but it is his tech)
>Chica was made by Edwins wife Fiona (Possibly the first Mimic pretending to be her depending on how the timeline lines up.)

>>712820410
Nigga what?

>>712796793
Im going to take it as his ghost siding with the Mimic(s). if we go by the Audio Tape where Edwin dies as the mimic imitates him i think there might been some resentment there. and remember if you end up in the basement where it does its thing you basically "betrayed" the "Good" Mimic by not handing over the Datadiver, who he probably had a better relationship to then his dad by the time of his death.
As for the tiger, it was his favorite toy and he apparently liked to play "hunting" with it, and in the segment he is hunting you.

Ending is basically
>Dude escapes and the mimic kills him
or
>Dude escapes and the mimic kills him but the factory burns to the ground

>>712823785
The endings are:

1: Get back in Car Immedietly at the strat of the game: Nothing happens (Car is presumably repossessed by Freddys)
2: Give up Data Diver: Find out that Dispatch was fake, Killed by Mimic.
3: Parchute.Exe: Killed by Mimic after factory burns to the ground.
4: Happiest Day ending: Put the Mimic to sleep after running a debug program. No further details given.

>>712814621
Maybe.

>>712824068
Yes that's what I said
Getting back in the car and kid mimic are not canon because Ruin can't happen there
2 & 3 are the same shit but the factory burns
We already knew all of this
There's no fucking secret of the mimic

>>712824359
Just clarifying it since you made it sound like there was only two endings at all, not that there was only two ending that can lead to Ruin.

Okay but where is Roxy in all of this?

>>712824592
Completely confirmed to not be "Trans Foxy" but been around from the start as a fellow crewmember of his in their original IP, Edwin owned if i got shit right since i think he uses a Roxy doll that scares BABBY David.

Fiona is voiced by a tranny isn't she

>>712811610

This video has a pretty good dissection of the first game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1trl0YIxVIg

Whoever made the voice of David was really bad at it, it sounds more like a vtuber than a child.

>>712824592
she's a cowgirl and everyone loves her

>>712825264
Nice

>>712825264
>Everyone loves Roxy.
Steel Wool really does know their audience.

what is the fucking point of Arnold dying? why cant a fucking protagonist just survive for once? why cant the mimic jusr get what it wants and let him live. its always all for nothing

I'm kind of glad the games and books are now separate, because they kind of suck. I tried to read them, and they were just such a chore to get through, with the writing quality jumping all over the place and it clearly being made for kids. The fact that they're also just loosely connected really kills my attention span. It's probably also because I never read any Goosebumps books in my childhood and have no nostalgia for them. I think the only one I liked was the first Choose Your Own Adventure book, because it was just about FNaF 1 and really offered some cool insights into the original lore.

>>712826796
Gregory survived

>>712827779
and Cassie is technically in a quantum superposition state where she is and isn't dead until a game comes out that takes place after hers and confirms her status one way or the other

>>712826796
Because he'll tell people about the dangers involved and all the new lore wouldn't happen

ok what are some actually good things in it

>nothing lmao
is not acceptable, scrape the bottom of the barrel.

>>712824592
She's a hand puppet that's missing both her eyes because that's the running joke at Steel Wool Studios.

>>712830303
I'm still near the start I think but so far I'm enjoying it. I've gone through 2 chase sequences so far and died to both so it's not piss easy at least.

>fazfuck and friends cant help themselves making evil robots and fucking fazgoo and birthday gummies
Is William even doing anything anymore?

>>712830907
Im fairly certain they've been trying to veer away from him since the DLC
But my retarded consumer ass wants there to be a plot twist where mimics engame backfires by being access to willy's backup and Willy takes over
No, SB willy wasnt the mimic, fuck off
