The Last Poster Wins! [v17]

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah, even MatPat said he was suspicious. My theory is, he was this was the end of the original series. Due to recent updates on his site, I think we're getting a sequel series around Fredbear and Friends.

[Chakramaster]

Yup, that's along the same lines I was thinking. This series is done, but not the games. There's easily more he could go into now. He could even go on to make one for the movie as well or to lead into it. Scott's already rich from all this now so he's keeping it going pretty strong. I did hear that he tried (or did after the charity donation page was fixed) donating $30k to the charity event Markiplier was hosting recently.

There's still some unanswered questions. So I don't think the story as a whole is over, but this particular series is. Like MatPat said it clearly says it on the steam page for it. The final chapter of the original series. Would look it up, but my laptop still hasn't returned....oh well xD

Well, and here’s the thing, lots have not been answered in the original series alone. For the first game we still don’t know why Freddy has handprints on his face or why Foxy was out of order. Who is Mike Schmidt and how was he related? Who killed the Phone Guy? Who was the Phone Guy? Was Golden Freddy truly a hallucination or was he so possessed by a child that he moved paranormally? What went on in that kitchen? What suit was used to kill the five kids? What about the whole endoskeleton in backstage?
Second game, who was the pink guy? Who was the purple guy? What happened at that first restaurant? Who was the puppet? Who was the perpetrator of the bite of 87?Who was the victim? Why were the original four scrapped for parts? Who were the shadows? Who was Balloon boy? Who was JJ? Who was Jeremy Fitzgerald and what happened to him? Who was Fritz Smith and did he come before or after Jeremy? And the endoskeleton here too?
Third game, who was the security guard? Why are there phantoms? What about that purple golden freddy? What was the purpose of the good and bad endings? When did the Atari games take place?
Fourth game, who was the crying child? who did he become? Who was the freddy plushie? Who was this kid’s dad? who was this kid’s brother? Why was the purple guy there? What happened that scarred this kid for life? Why was he bullied so much by everyone? When did it take place? Was this the Bite of 87 or was this the springlock failure mentioned in game 3?

EDIT: Scott's site was updated! JJ, the balloon boy hallucination, has arrived behind FNAF1 Freddy's legs!

In one of Matt's theory videos Scott did mention that it wasn't the bite of 87 in FNAF 4 (I hate being unable to link things easily on mobile...that and research).

Each game released seemed to explain something, but left more questions on top of those answers. I'll try and piece down what I seems to have concluded so far.

Starting with the earliest being the FNAF 4. The crying child is the one that becomes the Puppet later supposedly because of the way the puppet and him both are seen with the tear marks on their face. In one of the games in FNAF 3 you even see a figure in the same position as the child with the same marks. Even their clothing matches from the black and grey colors and stripes.

Now it's still not proven yet, but this kid may not have been the first like many theorize. Mainly because in one of the sequences in fnaf4 when he's trapped in the spare parts room. It looks like either wiring or hair coming out from one (or more) of the animatronics.

It's still theorized that the phone guy is purple guy because of the shape in the hand, but that's not standalone proof. It's still not really proven who it is. We just know the purple guy becomes Springtrap due to the moisture that gets into the suit while he's inside it. So the springlock failure was shown in the 3rd game for sure, even mentioned on one of the tapes.

Pink guy? May need a refresher or something on that. Never heard or seen anything on a pink guy. The reason they started taking the original ones apart was to make new animatronics because they wanted to make more kid friendly animatronics as the old ones were too frightening for younger kids. So they just used some parts while making the new ones. It's still unknown what happened at the first restaurant. Even the 4th game takes place at the 2nd restaurant and not the first. It's still assumed that the first guard in FNAF 2 was the one that got bit during the bite of 87, since the bite took place during the day while he was replaced for the night shift. It's still assumed to be cause by Mangled at that since it was never fully complete and had many issues.

Golden Freddy is predicted to be that of the first victim. We still know very little about it, what it can do, and where the suit itself is.

I'll have to look back over my post. It's getting a bit lengthy to scroll up on this small screen lol.

Okay I'm going to delve into the issues with your theories that I see issues with:

1) According to 8-bit gaming, Scott has confirmed that the purple guy and phone guy are NOT the same person. Which makes sense because if the crying child's dad is the phone guy and then phone guy is purple guy then why wasn't the dad's pixels purple? They're two separate people and definitely not the same person.

2) In one of the FNAF2 mini games (Foxy's go go one I believe it was) there's a man made of pink pixels on the third run. This can't be the purple guy because of the color difference between the two and therefore he had to be someone else.

3) Never was confirmed that the older ones were too frightening for kids, it's assumed something malfunctioned with one of them at a previous location that caused the new ones to replace them. Phone Guy hints at this heavily in FNAF2.

4) No, fourth game takes place at the sister location mentioned in FNAF3 that had multiple spring lock failures. It was not the FNAF2 location. It was four years prior as well but they are not the same location.

Woo now to respond again (didn't even get a chance to recheck my last post lol). Got busy sorry haha.

1. Oh no, I didn't mean it as the crying child's dad was purple guy (if that's how it looked from the way I put it). They are definitely 2 separate people. Then again don't expect Scott to always shade the real purple guy purple. Sometimes the real culprit behind murders or event are right in the open not trying to hide.

2. I'll have to re run FNAF 2 because I don't remember any pink figure. I only remember the purple guy in that mini game.

3. Again, another one I may need refreshing on through a playthrough. Coulda swore I remember hearing they were frightening to some children in this were remade for the new location.

4. (Lol yeah I shoulda rechecked before I got too busy) yeah it was a different location from the second game. The events in the 4th were definately at another location. Also taking place in 83 and not in 87. Two separate places and two different years. Ironically though, both have a similar event take place.

[Noblejanobii]

1. No you misunderstand. The common theory is that this kid is related to an employee or owner of a fazbear entertainment establishment, hence why he is there so often. Thus, we only know of two confirmed employees, purple guy and phone guy. The theory is the kid's father is one of these two, and I'm saying that Scott has confirmed that purple guy and phone guy aren't the same person. Thus, since Scott is very particular about his games and attention to details, I don't think the father would be purple guy since we seen the father twice and he isn't purple. I think the kid's father is phone guy.

2) Guy on the right. Some people argue its young purple man and others say it's an entirely different individual.

3. Well it's possible that was mentioned but it's also mentioned that there was a malfunction with the originals and then of course there's the whole corpse stuffing thing that is mentioned in FNAF1.

4. Right. That we agree upon.

[Chakramaster]

Hmm it's an interesting theory. I haven't done any research since FNAF3 since my computer went down. Only post research I've done since 4 released was the Gane Theory for it. So new information is still out there for me to read up on.

Honestly it makes sense, but when I think about it. Since this is supposed to be the "series finale" to this particular chapters. I feel like it would've shown somehow that phone he is the kid's father specifically. Unless of course it's hidden in the game and everyone has missed it so far.

Yeah I'm definately gonna have to look more into that. It's the first I've heard of a "pink guy" theory, but yeah the do share similar, though different color shades. It would have to be different people. I wouldn't see Scott making him look younger just by making him a lighter shade.

The corpse stuffing is still a mystery that hasn't been explained too well. I'm still curious to hear more on it. People still think it may have happened in (or before 83) from images seen in FNAF 4. More review will be needed for it later.

There's just so much in gonna have to refresh on once my laptop gets back. I'll probably replay all the games just to do a little refresher.

Also, just a note, the murders probably began in the 60's or 70's, since Phone Guy mentions the suits not being cleaned in over 20 years, and it's almost unanimously agreed that the first murder occured before the suits were in use and were the reason for Fredbear's Diner's collapse.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah but there's still the extension for Halloween, the movie, and the box. That could clue us in on some things.
