The Afton ending basically says “Nothing mattered”. The children are still suffering. NONE of them were set free. Afton had returned in a physical form. Security Breach literally undoes the ENTIRE franchise. I’ve never realized how much I hate that until now.
Didn't Help Wanted retcon the franches by saying they were games in universe? I understand you anger the burntrap ending, but things have been changed since then.
@@eristhechaosspirit9707 They may be games in universe, but that doesn't mean the stories they told were untrue. I'm pretty sure they were made into games as a cover up
@@nonsensicalhumanoid the thing is, while that line is spoken it shows fnaf 4, of all games. A game that was supposed to be a nightmare. How would Fazbear Entertainment even know that those nightmares took place if we are supposed to believe the Afton family actually existed in this universe? What, did they ask the crying child about the Nightmare animatronics in his hospital bed? It makes no sense. I'm still very skeptical that Security Breach was even written by Scott at all. Help Wanted was supposed to be a reboot, in another universe where none of the Afton story happened. It's clear that it was Scott's intent. Trying to make it a sequel makes absolutely no logical sense and it seems to me like Scott ditched the development of Security Breach with the whole retirement thing and someone else tried to rewrite the story into a sequel, and failed.
I'm well aware of how many fnaf games there are and how long it's been since the original released but man, actually hearing the phrase "fnaf 1 through 9" makes it hit home how big this series has gotten
@@thebananagamer56 I'm just quoting when they said "fnaf 1 through 9" in the video, I don't think fnaf vr is considered a mainline title but I've been wrong before
I adore Henry's monologue because it's just so raw with emotion. You can feel everything he's gone through and his pain in how he now knows what William did. You can feel the sheer anger and sorrow in his voice while he still manages to sound monotone. It really gives you insight to not just his character but how deeply he's been affected by his "old friend's" actions. The betrayal he conveys while wishing William the absolute worst while simultaneously seeming to understand that none of this was Michael's fault (and that, if anything, Michael was another victim, too) really makes me like Henry.
“Although for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole. So don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend.” Damn, that has to be one of my favorite lines of all time. What a satisfying ending
The Burntrap ending sums up Security Breach in its entirety. It's abrupt, anticlimactic, brings up a ton of questions, explains absolutely nothing, is unfinished, wastes a ton of potential that should've been used elsewhere and only looks pretty to compensate. Out of all the endings in the series, this is the only one that I wholeheartedly believe flat-out shouldn't exist.
@@captaincrystal3705 FNaF 1's ending is exactly as what was advertised. You finish your week and get paid the exact amount you were told you were going to get. Nothing wrong here.
@@MountainMemelord The Princess Quest ending is just as disappointing. Not only does Glitchtrap never show up (PQ1 doesn't count since it's just the minigame from the Help Wanted port), but Gregory _in-universe_ happens to stop in his tracks to play an arcade game while he's running for his life and that happens to free Vanessa. The ending cutscene shows him using the arcade game, so that's actually what happens. No convincing Vanessa to fight against Glitchtrap's influence. Just play an arcade game and she's free to go. On top of this, because Afton's presence was so underutilized the quote-on-quote "best ending" never even acknowledges him hanging out in the basement, meaning he gets away completely unscathed.
Nowhere to Run is the best theme in the game, I'll say it again. It's the perfect backdrop for Henry's sorrowful monologue. The build up of each note and chord, the violent pummeling hitting your ears in the background, the sounds of harsh metallic slams combined with sirens in the background. It perfectly encapsulates everything the FNAF6 ending stands for. Henry made sure that there's nowhere to run, and not a single place for even the crafty William Afton to hide. Nobody is escaping the building on his watch. It's the perfect theme song for Henry.
I know its not of significance to any ending but Venta Black is also a very good song its from the Sister location custom night when you have all the animatronics on the hardest difficulty. Watch your 6 is also very good its the song that plays when you go to the secret room and have to defend against Ennard. To me i feel like Venta Black would be a good theme for William Afton in general its a song that plays when you are witnessing all of his creations at their worst when they want to kill you the most (20/20/20/20 mode) its the perfect song to be playing as your dealing with the results of the crimes he has committed.
Meh, that isn't an example of "getting out of hand". There are mmultiple franchises and more and more are leaning in to giving multiple endings, specially RPG's. From the top of my head and not having yet seeing any ending as to not spoil myslef, the Dark Souls series have 7 endings without Elden Ring, for example.
@@henryboianimations4869 Yes,the pretty much confirmed way that the Funtimes,or at least Molten Freddy,became haunted. I.e,William melted parts from the og 5 animatronics endos into remnant and injected them into the Funtimes,causing them to have fragments of the 5 missing children's souls. It's heavily implied it needs Follow Me to happen,so Sister Location should happen after Follow Me,wich can only happen after fnaf 2.
This franchise has some of the best endings I have ever seen, hands down. FNAF 3's ending is so good and emotionally driven and it always gives me chills whenever I hear Henry's monologue... but then security breach completely undermined it :(
@@kobehope501 I know people have issues with the artstyle and gameplay but I'm honestly in it for the lore. Fnaf 2 was my first game I played and I've been here since 2015. Fnaf 2 imo is the best but FFPS is the most emotional and best experience
I really like when ennard slides into the room because it's basically the first time an animatronic is outside of a location and it's unsettling and shocking. And it's helped by all the tv show cutscenes that build up the house as relatively safe.
Yeah, seeing Ennard slowly crawl towards you is terrifying since you've never seen an animatronic outside of its location before, and Ennard is so desperate to use your body to escape that Ennard crawls out to stop you from escaping from them.
@somedragonbastard That’s my favorite interpretation of that ending. Michael straight up gave the middle finger to the company and took the animatronic home with him and I find it hilarious.
26:17 " there is no such thing as a perfect ending". Happiest day and Henry monologue were moments that were full of emotion, even if they are short the music is amazing, and there is nit a nitpick I can think of when I watch them.
@@Clonedge well they kinda didn't, with the reveal of the mimic and realizing that burntrap is only an unoffical name its kinda obvious who burntrap is
Would never put the Cassidy ending from UCN so low. It's so perfectly made to see that Cassidy is still alive and trapped in the suit that can't move. The simularities to fnaf3's trailer of Springtrap twitching in the suit as it zooms in and here it's the same but it zooms out while this creepy but somber music plays and gets more quiet as Cassidy fates into eternity, its just so chilling. It's the bittersweet ending I always wanted to see that Aftons actions did leave something behind that can never be fixed and he will forever be tortured and killed by his own creations at the hand of the character that has been so legendary since 2014. In my opinion this ending is easily top 5.
UCN ending kinda sucks tbh. Torturing afton is alright but why keeping him Alive? If Cassidy would have let go then glitchtrap Wouldn't have existed and afton would be in ACTUAL HELL.
@@GOD69_69 if you take security breach into the view yea its way less cool. I always thought that Afton is basically dead but he got denied his afterlife by Cassidy and is now in some kind of "limbo". Really sucks that they had to ruin my personal favourite ending by bringing back Afton again..
I mean I hate Cassidy. Instead of letting go so William will go to actual hell,she tortured him and he got out... Security breach wouldn't have been possible if motherf*cking Cassidy b*tch just leave William Afton to his own hell alone and let go just. like. everyone. else! I want to see a game where Cassidy is the one being endlessly tortured by William instead
Anyone else feeling sorry for the Aftons? I meant most of them were nice people and they got screwed over by Williams wickedness. Truly awful man and flipping love him as a character and SW completely destroyed him in SB. Edit : Nowhere to Run is underrated
True, I mean Evan (CC), and Elizabeth dying because of their father's creations, and Evan being tortured for an entire week, then dying on his birthday. Not to mention his wife, who I feel so bad for, and obviously Michael, who had to help Henry, and try to undo what William had done, and along the way, dying, but not, being burned, put through so much pressure and fear, etc.
That's my current theory as well. If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing going directly against it. Seeing as Steel Wool didn't forget about GF, thanks to the princess being named Cassidy.
"Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened up to swallow you whole. Don't keep the devil waiting, old friend" is one of the rawest, most hardcore lines in all of history. It's so effective that's its almost hard to believe it came from a FNAF game. It's the perfect ending for the franchise
The FNAF pizzeria simulator ending where it gets burned down is where it should have ended. The voice acting the chilling vibe and the frames showing the animatronics burning is just so deep What I mean is, there should be the ending thing at the end where it says the job may have not been completely honest with you. It should have just ended with the “beep”
bro William even knew it was a trap and it's a fact William is damn smart, he can't just die like that, I'm not gonna lie if it ended there I woldn't like but I also wouldn't say anything but saying what help wanted made I remember how bid this universe is and in my opinion help wanted creatted a new era a good era
I agree with all of these for the most part, although SL's real ending would probably be higher on my list since what happens is just so disturbing and I love it. Also, for a video idea: I'd love to hear your thoughts on Old Man Consequences as a character. From lore relevance to who he might be and stuff, I think it'd be quite interesting. (He's also one of the most underrated characters in my opinion.)
i don't think there's too much to talk about him honestly, besides the little that's already commonly known by anyone who's been following the series for at least two weeks
@@Moonshine_Victory Considering Scott's beliefs, the incorporation of hell/purgatory, and his role, my guess would be that OMC is Jesus, or an apparition through which god speaks to Cassidy. He wants her to move on from her anger towards her killer in UCN, and appears in PQ as the King, with Cassidy being the princess at least in SB, which gives him the status of a ruler, as well as potentially hinting at God as the holy father. This isn't unprecedented either, C. S. Lewis did a very similar thing after all.
Yeah, the animatronics pull a robotic version of Silence of the Lambs and wear you as a suit. Still weird so many parents let their young children get into FNaF (probably cuz of how tame they appear on the surface).
I am honestly going to disagree with the "saving Freddy with the car battery" ending being so low *not* based on anything specific that really happens in the ending, but instead because it gives the middle finger the "wait, but he could have done X to save Y" trope I get so frustrated at so many stories for lazilly ignoring, and, like, that alone is at least worth it being above the check endings, even by your self prescribed cold heart to this ending. Like, I get that a lot of that ending is stupid, but the fact they actually both acknowledged there was an obvious way to save Freddy, then fucking did it, is at least above the endings that are just checks, and definitely above SB princess quest.
Honestly yeah. The first time I heard that he can't leave because his battery would run out is "so fucking charge him" so it's good to see they at least acknowledged that
I honestly really like the Gregory and Freddy car ending. I’ve had a couple deaths in the family in the past few weeks, and seeing them being wholesome and alive makes me happy. I understand that I’m biased tho.
Help wanted should have been the start of a new era, which would have made sense, no more afton, time for freddy fazbear to re open without the threat of murder. And then maybe a new story arc begins.
i always thought it was odd how u were so harsh on SB but after this list. man the older games had so much complexity to them. The FNAF:PS ending is the true ending of FNAF. It has to be. Loved the vid!
@@GreatRaijin nah i joined around the time fnaf 2 was being teased. MatPat got me into it. And it's just unfortunate that the biggest game has had such disappointing lore.
it's funny that the fans were literally trowing bricks because SB wasn't done and when it got out everyone was hating it and even with the updates and new DLC coming those brainless still uses the old arguments like it was usefull
@@b.a.r.f1004 The game certainly didn't get enough time in the oven but with how ambitious the game was with the multiple endings and everything it's just a silly decision to have such a bizarre story in the first place
Great list! I would have ranked SL's scooper a bit higher, since the betrayal from Baby was a big moment and then the words "real ending" telling us that this is the real story and not just the bad ending we got by doing something wrong were very chilling. Pizzeria Simulator has the best ending, 100% agree. The endings that address the people in the story are my favorites.
Top 5 endings 1. Fnaf 6 canon: do I really need to explain? 2. Sl Scoop: The fact the animatronics not only took themselves apart and combined, tricked you all the five nights but scoop your insides out and wears your skin as a suit is badass 3. Happiest day: The music is great and would have been a great ending if fnaf ended after fnaf3 4. Sl location fake ending: Seeing Ennard unnervingly crawling towards you is just brilliant. 5. Pizza Party: Becoming freddy on stage while springtrap is dancing is so unnerving. Worst ending Afton ending: Do i need to explai- actually you know what I am going to explain. I absolutely despise the fact that springtrap is back again love the memes, hate the practice of it. How many times is he going to die and then come back again. I didn’t mind him as glitch trap because it didn’t really interpret him as the real William afton but thanks to security breach I don’t think that anymore and I hate it I was excited for a new era of Fnaf hey I was even one of the people that believe there was gonna be a new era of Fnaf but too bad security bridge slaps you in the face with this absolutely atrocious ending oh and not only that not only is spring trap back but also Ennard?! Actually I’m not pissed off about that Ennard fun time Freddy, Funtime foxy and ballora because I wish we had more of Ennard what I am pissed off about is that it’s implied that old spirits that were put to rest before or a part of it….. Why. I don’t hate security breach but I do hate this ending.
@@qwerty5684 That’s because it was the first time and then it let up to an actually really good ending. Instead of it happening again with a really bad ending.
@@titanuskolasaurus2050 Ok, but they still brought back Afton after he died in a fire, the exact same thing happened, but people only hate the new one for some reason
@@tomate1971 You are right you. Fnaf 2 is a prequel to fnaf 1 even though the Animatronics are Wither, It was made before the fnaf 1 location. There was another Pizza Place open before but was closed down. I guess is the place Willaim killed the kids.
I think fnaf 6 was definitely the game that should’ve ended it with custom night as a sort of epilogue as most people treat it, any game after should be totally unrelated with at most easter eggs to previous games with entirely different characters and inciting incident, afton/springtrap coming back over and over drags his character through the dirt and I just think his torture in ultimate custom night should be the last thing anyone hears of him
@@AzuzazazavI agree. fnaf 1-6 is just the first part of the lore, The most confusing but also the most easy to figure out. Help Wanted to anything after it is just a second saga of the story.
It would of been interesting if Cassidy had become the next antagonist in the series instead of rehashing Afton, Cassidy should’ve of been the soul that never found peace, never came to terms with dying and being robbed of his childhood and his chance of growing up, he’s already set up as the vengeful spirit, maybe his anger got the better of him, and instead of moving on, he decided to inflict that pain on others because he found it unfair that they grew up and survived unlike him
Why do people think that Afton is alive? He's dead. He's burning in hell. Glitchtrap and Burntrap are just a copy of his consciousness. And for "the soul that never found peace", I think it possesses The Blob.
@@gasterthemaster6490 Burntrap is literally found beneath the remains of the Fnaf 6 location, he isn't a copy of Afton's consciousness, Steel Wool legitimately retconned the Fnaf 6 ending to make Henry's Plan fail
@@gasterthemaster6490 That still doesn’t address the fact that Burntrap is found beneath the ruins of the Fnaf 6 Location and that his very name suggests he was burned in a fire, tell me, where do you think the “burn” in Burntrap came from
It's the way to this day i can still hear Michael say "father..." like that moment truly shaped a whole community, because not only did it introduce us properly to Michael, it also implied an actual storyline to the games. This monologue and Henry's That Monologue are probably the only two times i genuinely thought to myself "wow, maybe these lines do slap" I think no one i surprised that Henry's ending is the best one, like at this point I am so close to memorizing it just by hearing the monologue from videos.
Great video! In my opinion, much of FNAF’s narrative concerns itself with the overarching mystery and attempts to cram everything into a timeline of events. In doing so, I think it often neglects its characters. It doesn’t give them a lot in the way of actual characterization or substance outside of their functional role in the plot. The reason why I love that Pizzeria Simulator ending so much is because the characters feel like people, especially Henry. They feel like they’re driving the story and not the other way around. So I completely agree with you ranking that ending as your number one! Thanks for making and sharing this video with us! I’m always happy to see an upload from this channel in my subscriptions feed. 😁
I feel like on a meta-level the old man consequences ending is kind of a way of saying that the series is over and that there’s really nothing left. The children besides Evan/Joseph are free and Afton is rotting in hell like he deserves. There’s really no way for the series to go forward, so it’s for the best you just leave the souls of the characters to rest and accept the series has ended. It kind of reminds me of how the pacifist ending in undertale feels so satisfying that you really don’t want to reset it Of course this makes it kinda worse that the series did continue onwards, especially after the satisfying conclusion of both, as well as Steel Wool’s mishandling of the games. They should’ve just let the demon to his demons
I’m glad the series did continue,but what I’m not glad about is that steel wool decided to add lore to hw and sb,I’m glad hw happened but why did they add glitch trap!? AND BURNTRAP!?!?!?!?
I came into this video already knowing that the FNaF 6 Nowhere To Run ending was gonna be number one, such a prefect impactful conclusion to this story (which has now been retconned in security breach)
I know this sounds a bit... Strange, but uh can you rank/review the FNAF 1 - 3 phonecalls? Just a funni idea I had. Also your content is really good, I recently found it.
@@zaidalkhatib3918and that it was likely tied to the hints Scott laid for Game Theory, during a notable live stream, that more or less backfired for Scott.
The superstar ending is one of the funniest endings ive ever seen in a game, freddy got absolutely battered no difficulty. Powers down looking goofy as hell and says "youre my superstar..." bro i died laughing at that shit
the callout of golden freddy's head not being in the fnaf 3 good ending actually meaning that the spirit hasn't moved on is super interesitng, i've never really thought of it before also, in the happiest day cutscene, the balloon for golden freddys spirit doesn't actually disappear, also showing the spirit is still here
PS seems to still be a devicive title for some people (though personally its my favorite). But im glad that even the people who dislike where the story went, the gameplay, and the art direction of PS, can still agree it had an amazing ending
DEFINITELY has the best atmosphere in the franchise the way is shifts from a happy tycoon into a dreadful office with 2 oversized pitch black vents right next to you is chilling, and then once you lower your guard on the first night after realising nothing was with you it switches tone COMPLETELY to being face to face with molten freddy is amazing
I’d love for you to dive into the “robot kid” theory, and even though it sucks in relation to the whole lore, I wanna know more about it from a different point of view, why it does or doesn’t work, why it’s good/bad…
i like to think security breach has nothing to do with the usual fnaf series and its just a spinoff and steel wool did the same thing afton did in sister location of using henry's animatronics for his gain
VR and AR had the purpose of starting a new chapter in the FNaF storyline. They serve a purpose and are considered fun games by many. However, SB ruined FNaF's chance at telling a new story. Therefore, those games are, lorewise, useless.
You should do every character explained video. You can do it in parts of videos for different games, or all in one. Just a fun idea. Also I love your content, keep it up! 💖🎥
Henry: *A poetic biblical ending for William and His roots of Darkness* Security Breach: *William afton got chased by a spaghetti and sucked over* See the difference? That's why Security Breach lost it's charm. The Endings were really unsatisfying.
I just realised, in the happiest day minigame. The spirit possesing Golden Freddy's balloon never fully floats off, the static comes up on screen before it can...
I'd put the FNAF2 paycheque a bit higher because it's the reveal that the game is not only a prequel, but also takes place right before the fabled bite of 87
idk something about a small child driving a car is just very funny to me so I would rank the car escape ending higher. It's dumb, yes, but that's exactly why I kinda love it
I like how the Monologue Ending is perfect, in also my opinion, and I still laugh when he’s done, it just beeps after a very emotional moment in the series, if not, the most emotional moment ever in the series, and then it just ends with a beep
I think ultimate custom night was a great final game, because while PS was closure, seeing William's eternal purgatory and having both the satisfaction and sadness of knowing it's Golden Freddy worked for me, and also the fun of seeing every character in a game that I can play against was fun, and it worked because UCN's lore was explaining it's own lore, not a greater theme, on a different note, while I think FNAF VR is a good game, I think it would've worked better if Glitchtrap wasn't 'freed' and we instead just got that haunting scene of being a dead child, and FNAF VR was originally a "this is a new start with Vanny, these are original characters, the old ones present are simply a means of bringing FNAF to VR but they hold no lore", but then SB showed up and just chucked everything out the window, I don't mind FNAF still going, but ruining the lore of the entire series over a shitty boss fight and just a more fucked up character model wasn't worth it, and I'm just banking on Scott announcing it non-canon to the franchise and having Steelwool fix it up and resend it out, because a free-roam game is simply new territory, and I don't like the childishness, but I would handle it if the lore and gameplay were good, but there not, the only thing I enjoyed about SB was the Roxanne boss fight, and the only reason I like it is because it was the only part of SB that held even a small amount of genuine terror for me, everything else was just stress or agitation
I can get why they decided to keep the series going but having the Afton Ending in Security Breach basically undo everything from the FNaF 6 ending is so unsatisfying. They should’ve just stuck with Gitchtrap being a “new” Version of Afton and make Vanny the new antagonist. But nope, Vanny barely appears in SB and when she does she does do much
Another fab video! I agree with your take on the box ending. I think it's awesome and weird and abstract and so different. I also think personally my #1 is the pizza party from help wanted. Made me feel nauseous the first time I saw it. The idea of being one of the missing child...so freaky. So well done.
I personally enjoy the fnaf 6 true ending because it has lots of lore in it, as well as well as telling us who the puppet truly is. Also, the 'beep' connection terminated sound to this day give me goosebumps, even though the game's been out for like 4 and a half years
Fnaf 6 was where my interest of the franchise peaked. It was like a poem of everything that had came before. The ending would have been a perfect sum up to the franchise (before the dark times)
I’ve always considered the happiest day ending of FNAF 3 to be the best one, purely because it ends the story so neat and perfectly and just seeing those empty masks with the piano in the back genuinely stays emotional to me. The true ending of pizzeria simulator is absolutely fantastic, but to me that’s a case of it being the absolute best ending that they can have after the absolute mess of a story spawned off sister location and the lore that’s still a nightmare to sort.
“Although for one of you. The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole. Don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend” is the HARDEST line in FNAF history and noone will prove me wrong
I just got to the point where you mentioned the pizza ending in help wanted. I haven't listened to you actually talk about it yet, but I listen to your first sentence and I can't help but agree. I feel like I could literally talk for at least 10 minutes about how scary that ending is. Firstly, the level you have to get through is an amazing finale and very creative. In my opinion. It truly is amazed, but it doesn't really feel like one. It feels like every door you go through could literally have anything on the other side. Every time I opened a door, I was half expecting to find myself on a conveyor belt leading straight to my doom. Nevertheless, you finally find the hidden door that leads you to the ending, with you going into event and then having to climb up. You then finding yourself in a lonely but small room with some cake and pizza, before giant bunny man comes out of nowhere from behind the curtain and gently motions at you to follow him. It then phased a black and you find yourself trapped in animatronic suit with the Bunny man. Stretching his arms out like he's flying, and doesn't give the slightest crap in the world, is the most metal thing I've seen.
My hope is that the Steel Wool games really dig into the meta of "remakes, legacy and Fandom interpretation" a la FFVII remake. With that in mind, I see glitchtrap as a representation of Afton's legacy and how the Fandom may have perceived him, not literally William Afton being brought back to life. Also like another commenter said, it's the kids that Vanny killed haunting the Blob, and not the other ones, and the real William Afton is still very much in hell. But I do agree that the game needs to outright say this or allude to it, instead of being convoluted and cryptic for no reason, like the series has a history of doing. And I also realize It might "not be that deep" and I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because I like meta stories.
I really like these kinds of videos that you make. When you just talk about you thoughts on the game. I like to listen to it when I’m cleaning or just chilling out. I really like your tone and tbh you’re funny. Please keep making these kinds of videos. It feels like a trip down memory lane and your opinions are very interesting.
i like to imagine that fnaf ended when everyone burnt at the end of fnaf 6. this ending (as well as the happiest day ending from fnaf 3) perfectly concludes the story, finally letting the souls rest, ending fazbear entertainment's reign, all with an absolutely (revealing and) badass monologue from Henry himself. and although i think everygame after fnaf 6 is unnecessary, i do think that UCN is fine, if you think of it more like a spinoff game, as an epilogue to William Afton suffering after "getting swalled whole by the darkest pit of hell". (and also concludes Cassidy/Golden Freddy's story with the old man consequences ending.) Help Wanted? unnecessary. needlessly complicated the story, and brought William Afton back (WHEN HE"S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD ALREADY, fuck me). and dont even get me started on Security Breach; although i dont think i have to, since you (rightfully) shat on it enough in this video alone but yes, just like you (at 30:30), i too, have also come to pretend that the completion ending of pizzeria sim is the true ending of fnaf, and just pretend like the other games either didnt happen or are just some continuation in an alternate timeline. great video, Th3Badd3st. - TL:DR i like to pretend that fnaf truly ended once Henry burnt everyone and everything at the end of fnaf 6. the other games just kinda ruined this really epic ending, and so ive just come to imagine that the games post pizzeria sim are just part of some alternate timeline lol
In 6 William literally says “I always come back” and in the picture of scrap trap in the fire, it doesn’t look like it’s being burned unlike the other 2 which I thought was pretty interesting, so I mean yea it should’ve ended, but SB was tied in super well with HW
What is hilarious about pizzeria simulator is that the entire community had such low expectations for the game since they expected to have a sequel to sister location and thought it would be a ‘spinoff’. However the fnaf developers worked hard and proved everyone wrong by making a fun ,quick but canon tycoon type game. I remember that every was complaining saying “Where is the lore?” If only they had known…
Remember this next time you play, watch a movie or read a book: "the story starts and ends with the artist". . Scott barely worked on all games after UCN. This is why the story breaks from there. . Halo ended in Reach Dragon ball ended in Z And FNAF ended in UCN
I just thought that maybe the one talking to the crying child in fnaf 4 is the spirit of Cassidy, knowing there are a lot of people saying that Golden Freddy may have 2 spirits inside of it and also knowing the Golden Freddy plush is in front of the crying child during the cutscene
What makes the Completion ending in FFPS so satisfying is the sense of finality during the cutscene. Time and time again we’ve felt that the series was coming to an end, but then we get a whole new game. The monologue didn’t feel like we were ending a chapter, we have reached the end of the book at long last. Really sucks that it wasn’t stopped there, or at least keep everything afterward non-canon. Oh well.
Ever heard of Fnaf Afterefect DX? A nice naritive game focussing on the origin of vanny and giving it a non canon take. You can finish it in a day but hey nothing is perfect.
25:14 You are so right! This is where I saw all the lost potential in the series. The children, the spirits, the people… How did they cope with such a uniquely tragic situation? We almost hear nothing about it, much less anything about William’s true motivations which started all of this! I actually began writing a security breach fanfic that will explore some of it because I was so upset with how little story wise we got… (The fic is called Into The Breach if anyone is interested…) Self insert main character, but because of sheer coincidence she gets glimpses into the other major characters via the spirits and Glitchtrap messing with her head. Speaking of Afton… To me, nothing he does in the story ever makes sense, because we have no idea what his emotions are. William is played like a prop more than a character and he is one of the most human characters we get. He is just cruel murderer villain stand in and it sucks. I wanted to actually understand why he suddenly decided to put so much time and effort into making pristine robots for children he killed to possess. This process is clearly somehow almost sacred to him, to the point he literally put his two youngest kids through it!!! There is so much more in this story that it dragged me back into the community just to do it justice, and I hope I do…
I honestly thought the bite of ‘83 was the best ending… until i thought about it, and it really wasnt an ending in the sense that it put one’s story to rest, it actually initiated another sequence that should be theorized and explained, unlike the happiest day which clearly showed what happened at the end of the events. But after all, the completion ending was such an amazing rest to the game that i consider sb not to be cannon, not even 1 ending made sense or even relate to anything that happened during the previous 8 installments
The unmasked ending comets in my mind that security breach is just a fnaf branded Scooby doo thing (IT even has the main plot escalation like gang talks to person that is the culprit at the start )
what makes the bite of '83 so sad is the fact that if you look at Mike and his friends they're laughing at crying child, but when he gets biten they stop laughing, they really where just pranking him, not intending to do any harm, just that they didn't realize they were going so far and had to live on with the guilt of a life being taken away because of their irresponsibility
I really wish security breach would have darker endings like one ending could be where gregory finds a room with all the missing kids with the heads of the dismantled animatronics and vanny siting in the front seat dead and glitchtrap on a tv speaking to gregory before glitchtrap hacking glamrock freddy and makes him kill gregory and a cutscene with gregory sitting in a chair with a destroyed glamrock freddy head on him with the start up screen music playing as the camera pans out
I hate the Fire/Unmasked Ending as much as the Afton ending for a few reasons. Using fire as a way to destroy a place just feels redundant now, and FNAF 6 just did it better coupled with Henry's cold-hearted speech. Another reason is the comic style of the whole damn thing just made it underwhelming. Also, how dare they shoehorn Vanny in an ending when she has done nothing in the games so far :/ Just disappointing really
Happiest day makes sense to me because there are 2 souls in GF so happiest day sets free the crying child while Cassidy is still angry and vengeful What I don’t get is The puppet also seems to be set free at the happiest day so I don’t get why Charlie is still there by the time FNAF 6 happens
I just realised something... in the happiest day minigame, at the end there are 5 balloons on the left and 1 balloon on the right. As the masks fall, all of the balloons go above the screen... exept for the one on the right. was Scott hinting at 2 souls being in golden Freddy SINCE THE THIRD GAME!?
I have been thinking about the Markiplier fnaf 4 flinch since the day it happened, it’s so telling how well crafted that cutscene is if it even caught Mark by surprise. He was so desensitized to the game at that point bc of how many times he had to redo the night, it’s just sooooo I love it so much.
27:56 don’t understand why everyone one says that gf isn’t here. In the bad ending he is behind everyone, and can be seen only by the lights. In this scene, the light are off. So he is still there, but can’t be seen. I think if it was like he is the only who wasn’t freed, then I think he would be the only with the lights like in bad ending. And by the way, in the minigame nothing also shows that gf has a some different fate than others, his mask falling down with the same speed as others, only puppet’s mask falls slower. So I think there’s nothing special to him, his mask is also lying in the shadow behind others
personally i want the MAIN series to end, but spinoff plot and lore building games would be kinda cool imo, as long as they don't pull a FNAF world or something 😭 Also honestly SB was a letdown but mostly bc it was released entirely unfinished. the scrapped plots, voice lines, events, etc were all INFINITELY more intriguing than what we got. I wish it would've focused on Vanny- there's definitely something there and that's what was originally intended :/
If you do another ranking, rank which jumpscare is the scariest for you tier list or worst to best, you can do all games if you want or by game. Rank by the ones that actually scare you the most or give a reaction.
Hey, those weird unidentifiable things in the fnaf plus teaser vid you made, I think they are supposed to be foxys teeth. They match in shape and layout and would make sense to be seen by the child stuffed into foxy
The Afton ending basically says “Nothing mattered”.
The children are still suffering. NONE of them were set free. Afton had returned in a physical form.
Security Breach literally undoes the ENTIRE franchise. I’ve never realized how much I hate that until now.
That is so wrong, I don't know where to start.
Didn't Help Wanted retcon the franches by saying they were games in universe? I understand you anger the burntrap ending, but things have been changed since then.
@@eristhechaosspirit9707 They may be games in universe, but that doesn't mean the stories they told were untrue. I'm pretty sure they were made into games as a cover up
@@nonsensicalhumanoid the thing is, while that line is spoken it shows fnaf 4, of all games. A game that was supposed to be a nightmare. How would Fazbear Entertainment even know that those nightmares took place if we are supposed to believe the Afton family actually existed in this universe?
What, did they ask the crying child about the Nightmare animatronics in his hospital bed? It makes no sense.
I'm still very skeptical that Security Breach was even written by Scott at all. Help Wanted was supposed to be a reboot, in another universe where none of the Afton story happened. It's clear that it was Scott's intent.
Trying to make it a sequel makes absolutely no logical sense and it seems to me like Scott ditched the development of Security Breach with the whole retirement thing and someone else tried to rewrite the story into a sequel, and failed.
1- the children are at peace, vanny is just killing more
2-that isn't Afton, that's glitchtrap in a physical form.
I'm well aware of how many fnaf games there are and how long it's been since the original released but man, actually hearing the phrase "fnaf 1 through 9" makes it hit home how big this series has gotten

I adore Henry's monologue because it's just so raw with emotion. You can feel everything he's gone through and his pain in how he now knows what William did. You can feel the sheer anger and sorrow in his voice while he still manages to sound monotone. It really gives you insight to not just his character but how deeply he's been affected by his "old friend's" actions. The betrayal he conveys while wishing William the absolute worst while simultaneously seeming to understand that none of this was Michael's fault (and that, if anything, Michael was another victim, too) really makes me like Henry.

The Burntrap ending sums up Security Breach in its entirety. It's abrupt, anticlimactic, brings up a ton of questions, explains absolutely nothing, is unfinished, wastes a ton of potential that should've been used elsewhere and only looks pretty to compensate. Out of all the endings in the series, this is the only one that I wholeheartedly believe flat-out shouldn't exist.
Fnaf 1’s ending:Am I a joke to you?
@@captaincrystal3705 FNaF 1's ending is exactly as what was advertised. You finish your week and get paid the exact amount you were told you were going to get. Nothing wrong here.
@@slenderminion2229 exactly. You're just a guard there. You get your pay, and you get the heck outta there.
I believe the PQ ending is canon.
@@MountainMemelord The Princess Quest ending is just as disappointing. Not only does Glitchtrap never show up (PQ1 doesn't count since it's just the minigame from the Help Wanted port), but Gregory _in-universe_ happens to stop in his tracks to play an arcade game while he's running for his life and that happens to free Vanessa. The ending cutscene shows him using the arcade game, so that's actually what happens.
No convincing Vanessa to fight against Glitchtrap's influence. Just play an arcade game and she's free to go. On top of this, because Afton's presence was so underutilized the quote-on-quote "best ending" never even acknowledges him hanging out in the basement, meaning he gets away completely unscathed.
Nowhere to Run is the best theme in the game, I'll say it again.
It's the perfect backdrop for Henry's sorrowful monologue. The build up of each note and chord, the violent pummeling hitting your ears in the background, the sounds of harsh metallic slams combined with sirens in the background.
It perfectly encapsulates everything the FNAF6 ending stands for. Henry made sure that there's nowhere to run, and not a single place for even the crafty William Afton to hide. Nobody is escaping the building on his watch.
It's the perfect theme song for Henry.
Nah man, the happiest day song is undoubtedly the best in the game, albeit quite simplistic
I also love how the song near it's end uses some notes from sister location's theme
@@cxthednalien It also uses motifs from FNAF World's Flipside.
I know its not of significance to any ending but Venta Black is also a very good song its from the Sister location custom night when you have all the animatronics on the hardest difficulty. Watch your 6 is also very good its the song that plays when you go to the secret room and have to defend against Ennard. To me i feel like Venta Black would be a good theme for William Afton in general its a song that plays when you are witnessing all of his creations at their worst when they want to kill you the most (20/20/20/20 mode) its the perfect song to be playing as your dealing with the results of the crimes he has committed.

Meh, that isn't an example of "getting out of hand". There are mmultiple franchises and more and more are leaning in to giving multiple endings, specially RPG's.

@@TheJoviLovi true
@Lucian TUDOS I was talking about both fnaf 3 and 6's ending but sorry for somewhat unclear wording
I really like when ennard slides into the room because it's basically the first time an animatronic is outside of a location and it's unsettling and shocking. And it's helped by all the tv show cutscenes that build up the house as relatively safe.
Yeah, seeing Ennard slowly crawl towards you is terrifying since you've never seen an animatronic outside of its location before, and Ennard is so desperate to use your body to escape that Ennard crawls out to stop you from escaping from them.
It terrified me for that reason
Am I the only one who just saw that as ennard being your new roommate or smth
@@somedragonbastardsame tbh I thought it was funny
@somedragonbastard That’s my favorite interpretation of that ending. Michael straight up gave the middle finger to the company and took the animatronic home with him and I find it hilarious.

@@Clonedge well they kinda didn't, with the reveal of the mimic and realizing that burntrap is only an unoffical name its kinda obvious who burntrap is
Would never put the Cassidy ending from UCN so low. It's so perfectly made to see that Cassidy is still alive and trapped in the suit that can't move. The simularities to fnaf3's trailer of Springtrap twitching in the suit as it zooms in and here it's the same but it zooms out while this creepy but somber music plays and gets more quiet as Cassidy fates into eternity, its just so chilling. It's the bittersweet ending I always wanted to see that Aftons actions did leave something behind that can never be fixed and he will forever be tortured and killed by his own creations at the hand of the character that has been so legendary since 2014. In my opinion this ending is easily top 5.
UCN ending kinda sucks tbh. Torturing afton is alright but why keeping him Alive? If Cassidy would have let go then glitchtrap Wouldn't have existed and afton would be in
ACTUAL HELL.
@@GOD69_69 if you take security breach into the view yea its way less cool. I always thought that Afton is basically dead but he got denied his afterlife by Cassidy and is now in some kind of "limbo". Really sucks that they had to ruin my personal favourite ending by bringing back Afton again..

Anyone else feeling sorry for the Aftons?
I meant most of them were nice people and they got screwed over by Williams wickedness. Truly awful man and flipping love him as a character and SW completely destroyed him in SB.
Edit : Nowhere to Run is underrated
True, I mean Evan (CC), and Elizabeth dying because of their father's creations, and Evan being tortured for an entire week, then dying on his birthday. Not to mention his wife, who I feel so bad for, and obviously Michael, who had to help Henry, and try to undo what William had done, and along the way, dying, but not, being burned, put through so much pressure and fear, etc.
SB ruined him as much as SL
I definitely agree with you!
Personally I'm just head canoning that The Blob is the spirit of Golden Freddy because it makes it feel slightly better to me
That's my current theory as well. If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing going directly against it. Seeing as Steel Wool didn't forget about GF, thanks to the princess being named Cassidy.
Same
Forget
"Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of hell has opened up to swallow you whole. Don't keep the devil waiting, old friend" is one of the rawest, most hardcore lines in all of history. It's so effective that's its almost hard to believe it came from a FNAF game. It's the perfect ending for the franchise
The FNAF pizzeria simulator ending where it gets burned down is where it should have ended. The voice acting the chilling vibe and the frames showing the animatronics burning is just so deep
What I mean is, there should be the ending thing at the end where it says the job may have not been completely honest with you. It should have just ended with the “beep”
I dislike it because it’s basically Henry trying to make himself feel good about himself before dying

I agree with all of these for the most part, although SL's real ending would probably be higher on my list since what happens is just so disturbing and I love it.
Also, for a video idea: I'd love to hear your thoughts on Old Man Consequences as a character. From lore relevance to who he might be and stuff, I think it'd be quite interesting. (He's also one of the most underrated characters in my opinion.)
i don't think there's too much to talk about him honestly, besides the little that's already commonly known by anyone who's been following the series for at least two weeks
@@patoivan6222 It's just an idea and I thought it'd be interesting to theorise who that guy is
@@Moonshine_Victory Considering Scott's beliefs, the incorporation of hell/purgatory, and his role, my guess would be that OMC is Jesus, or an apparition through which god speaks to Cassidy. He wants her to move on from her anger towards her killer in UCN, and appears in PQ as the King, with Cassidy being the princess at least in SB, which gives him the status of a ruler, as well as potentially hinting at God as the holy father.
This isn't unprecedented either, C. S. Lewis did a very similar thing after all.
@@ZenoDovahkiin Yeah, that makes sense tbh
Yeah, the animatronics pull a robotic version of Silence of the Lambs and wear you as a suit. Still weird so many parents let their young children get into FNaF (probably cuz of how tame they appear on the surface).

I am honestly going to disagree with the "saving Freddy with the car battery" ending being so low *not* based on anything specific that really happens in the ending, but instead because it gives the middle finger the "wait, but he could have done X to save Y" trope I get so frustrated at so many stories for lazilly ignoring, and, like, that alone is at least worth it being above the check endings, even by your self prescribed cold heart to this ending.
Like, I get that a lot of that ending is stupid, but the fact they actually both acknowledged there was an obvious way to save Freddy, then fucking did it, is at least above the endings that are just checks, and definitely above SB princess quest.
Honestly yeah. The first time I heard that he can't leave because his battery would run out is "so fucking charge him" so it's good to see they at least acknowledged that
I cannot add onto this. I completely agree.

Pizzeria Simulator has the best ending, 100% agree. The endings that address the people in the story are my favorites.
Top 5 endings
1. Fnaf 6 canon: do I really need to explain?
2. Sl Scoop: The fact the animatronics not only took themselves apart and combined, tricked you all the five nights but scoop your insides out and wears your skin as a suit is badass
3. Happiest day: The music is great and would have been a great ending if fnaf ended after fnaf3
4. Sl location fake ending: Seeing Ennard unnervingly crawling towards you is just brilliant.
5. Pizza Party: Becoming freddy on stage while springtrap is dancing is so unnerving.
Worst ending
Afton ending: Do i need to explai- actually you know what I am going to explain. I absolutely despise the fact that springtrap is back again love the memes, hate the practice of it. How many times is he going to die and then come back again. I didn’t mind him as glitch trap because it didn’t really interpret him as the real William afton but thanks to security breach I don’t think that anymore and I hate it I was excited for a new era of Fnaf hey I was even one of the people that believe there was gonna be a new era of Fnaf but too bad security bridge slaps you in the face with this absolutely atrocious ending oh and not only that not only is spring trap back but also Ennard?!

I think fnaf 6 was definitely the game that should’ve ended it with custom night as a sort of epilogue as most people treat it, any game after should be totally unrelated with at most easter eggs to previous games with entirely different characters and inciting incident, afton/springtrap coming back over and over drags his character through the dirt and I just think his torture in ultimate custom night should be the last thing anyone hears of him
Ig we can count as 1-7 games is first part of story or something like "chapter" 1, and from 8 and on is second one
@@AzuzazazavI agree. fnaf 1-6 is just the first part of the lore, The most confusing but also the most easy to figure out. Help Wanted to anything after it is just a second saga of the story.
It would of been interesting if Cassidy had become the next antagonist in the series instead of rehashing Afton, Cassidy should’ve of been the soul that never found peace, never came to terms with dying and being robbed of his childhood and his chance of growing up, he’s already set up as the vengeful spirit, maybe his anger got the better of him, and instead of moving on, he decided to inflict that pain on others because he found it unfair that they grew up and survived unlike him

I think no one i surprised that Henry's ending is the best one, like at this point I am so close to memorizing it just by hearing the monologue from videos.
Great video! In my opinion, much of FNAF’s narrative concerns itself with the overarching mystery and attempts to cram everything into a timeline of events. In doing so, I think it often neglects its characters. It doesn’t give them a lot in the way of actual characterization or substance outside of their functional role in the plot. The reason why I love that Pizzeria Simulator ending so much is because the characters feel like people, especially Henry. They feel like they’re driving the story and not the other way around. So I completely agree with you ranking that ending as your number one!
Thanks for making and sharing this video with us! I’m always happy to see an upload from this channel in my subscriptions feed. 😁
I did not expect to hear Baby’s voice being compared to a cam girl but it was funny
I feel like on a meta-level the old man consequences ending is kind of a way of saying that the series is over and that there’s really nothing left. The children besides Evan/Joseph are free and Afton is rotting in hell like he deserves. There’s really no way for the series to go forward, so it’s for the best you just leave the souls of the characters to rest and accept the series has ended. It kind of reminds me of how the pacifist ending in undertale feels so satisfying that you really don’t want to reset it
Of course this makes it kinda worse that the series did continue onwards, especially after the satisfying conclusion of both, as well as Steel Wool’s mishandling of the games. They should’ve just let the demon to his demons
you’re confusing freddy and golden freddy. joseph is free and cassidy is the one torturing afton
I’m glad the series did continue,but what I’m not glad about is that steel wool decided to add lore to hw and sb,I’m glad hw happened but why did they add glitch trap!? AND BURNTRAP!?!?!?!?
“It’s still a little on the goofy side”
*insert Vanny getting fucking torn to shreds*
I came into this video already knowing that the FNaF 6 Nowhere To Run ending was gonna be number one, such a prefect impactful conclusion to this story
(which has now been retconned in security breach)
It wasnt retconned
I know this sounds a bit... Strange, but uh can you rank/review the FNAF 1 - 3 phonecalls? Just a funni idea I had.
Also your content is really good, I recently found it.
I think the box ending is in place of something that Scott was going to reveal to us, but decided not to last minute.
He said somewhere that in a Halloween dlc for Fnaf 4 he was going to show what’s inside the box but decided not because “the fans wouldn’t accept it”
@@zaidalkhatib3918and that it was likely tied to the hints Scott laid for Game Theory, during a notable live stream, that more or less backfired for Scott.
Can you imagine making an ending of less quality than a termination notice
security breach moment
The superstar ending is one of the funniest endings ive ever seen in a game, freddy got absolutely battered no difficulty. Powers down looking goofy as hell and says "youre my superstar..." bro i died laughing at that shit
When that happened I literally just thought of the pig from minecraft story mode dying lmaooo
@@vincentbook6691 rubens death is the sadest thing in gaming history
the callout of golden freddy's head not being in the fnaf 3 good ending actually meaning that the spirit hasn't moved on is super interesitng, i've never really thought of it before
also, in the happiest day cutscene, the balloon for golden freddys spirit doesn't actually disappear, also showing the spirit is still here
PS seems to still be a devicive title for some people (though personally its my favorite). But im glad that even the people who dislike where the story went, the gameplay, and the art direction of PS, can still agree it had an amazing ending
DEFINITELY has the best atmosphere in the franchise the way is shifts from a happy tycoon into a dreadful office with 2 oversized pitch black vents right next to you is chilling, and then once you lower your guard on the first night after realising nothing was with you it switches tone COMPLETELY to being face to face with molten freddy is amazing
As dawko said in his teaser tierlist video: “it was technically a troll game” (cuts to him reacting to the reveal of scrap baby)
Pizza Sim would be my favorite but I’m actually so awful at the office segments that I just have never played past night 2 😭💀
I’d love for you to dive into the “robot kid” theory, and even though it sucks in relation to the whole lore, I wanna know more about it from a different point of view, why it does or doesn’t work, why it’s good/bad…
it's probably true and it's bad and i choose to ignore security breach's lore from now on. there are my thoughts.
i like to think security breach has nothing to do with the usual fnaf series and its just a spinoff and steel wool did the same thing afton did in sister location of using henry's animatronics for his gain
@@Th3Badd3st fair enough
FNaF 6 is the Best/True Ending Imo, I feel as if everything after (Besides maybe UCN) is pointless.
everything after UCN is non-canon, i hope
Yeah basically every characters death, they are meaningless
@@LucasN00b apparently its not lol
@@TheJoviLovi unsatisfactory 😢
VR and AR had the purpose of starting a new chapter in the FNaF storyline. They serve a purpose and are considered fun games by many. However, SB ruined FNaF's chance at telling a new story. Therefore, those games are, lorewise, useless.
You should do every character explained video. You can do it in parts of videos for different games, or all in one. Just a fun idea. Also I love your content, keep it up! 💖🎥
Yes
Henry: *A poetic biblical ending for William and His roots of Darkness*
Security Breach: *William afton got chased by a spaghetti and sucked over*
See the difference? That's why Security Breach lost it's charm. The Endings were really unsatisfying.
I just realised, in the happiest day minigame. The spirit possesing Golden Freddy's balloon never fully floats off, the static comes up on screen before it can...
I'd put the FNAF2 paycheque a bit higher because it's the reveal that the game is not only a prequel, but also takes place right before the fabled bite of 87
idk something about a small child driving a car is just very funny to me so I would rank the car escape ending higher. It's dumb, yes, but that's exactly why I kinda love it
Yeah, I just find it fun and hilarious even though it’s a tonal whiplash
I like how the Monologue Ending is perfect, in also my opinion, and I still laugh when he’s done, it just beeps after a very emotional moment in the series, if not, the most emotional moment ever in the series, and then it just ends with a beep
I think ultimate custom night was a great final game, because while PS was closure, seeing William's eternal purgatory and having both the satisfaction and sadness of knowing it's Golden Freddy worked for me, and also the fun of seeing every character in a game that I can play against was fun, and it worked because UCN's lore was explaining it's own lore, not a greater theme, on a different note, while I think FNAF VR is a good game, I think it would've worked better if Glitchtrap wasn't 'freed' and we instead just got that haunting scene of being a dead child, and FNAF VR was originally a "this is a new start with Vanny, these are original characters, the old ones present are simply a means of bringing FNAF to VR but they hold no lore", but then SB showed up and just chucked everything out the window, I don't mind FNAF still going, but ruining the lore of the entire series over a shitty boss fight and just a more fucked up character model wasn't worth it, and I'm just banking on Scott announcing it non-canon to the franchise and having Steelwool fix it up and resend it out, because a free-roam game is simply new territory, and I don't like the childishness, but I would handle it if the lore and gameplay were good, but there not, the only thing I enjoyed about SB was the Roxanne boss fight, and the only reason I like it is because it was the only part of SB that held even a small amount of genuine terror for me, everything else was just stress or agitation
I can get why they decided to keep the series going but having the Afton Ending in Security Breach basically undo everything from the FNaF 6 ending is so unsatisfying. They should’ve just stuck with Gitchtrap being a “new”
Version of Afton and make Vanny the new antagonist. But nope, Vanny barely appears in SB and when she does she does do much
I do think that the princess quest ending will become more tolerable as we get more clarity on what exactly happened in an around security breach.
Another fab video! I agree with your take on the box ending. I think it's awesome and weird and abstract and so different. I also think personally my #1 is the pizza party from help wanted. Made me feel nauseous the first time I saw it. The idea of being one of the missing child...so freaky. So well done.
I personally enjoy the fnaf 6 true ending because it has lots of lore in it, as well as well as telling us who the puppet truly is. Also, the 'beep' connection terminated sound to this day give me goosebumps, even though the game's been out for like 4 and a half years
Fnaf 6 was where my interest of the franchise peaked. It was like a poem of everything that had came before. The ending would have been a perfect sum up to the franchise (before the dark times)
I’ve always considered the happiest day ending of FNAF 3 to be the best one, purely because it ends the story so neat and perfectly and just seeing those empty masks with the piano in the back genuinely stays emotional to me. The true ending of pizzeria simulator is absolutely fantastic, but to me that’s a case of it being the absolute best ending that they can have after the absolute mess of a story spawned off sister location and the lore that’s still a nightmare to sort.
“Although for one of you. The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole. Don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend”
is the HARDEST line in FNAF history and noone will prove me wrong
Oh boy I wonder what the baddist thinks about fnafsb and it's great conclusion, I sure hope it's ranked high :)
I just got to the point where you mentioned the pizza ending in help wanted. I haven't listened to you actually talk about it yet, but I listen to your first sentence and I can't help but agree.
I feel like I could literally talk for at least 10 minutes about how scary that ending is. Firstly, the level you have to get through is an amazing finale and very creative. In my opinion. It truly is amazed, but it doesn't really feel like one. It feels like every door you go through could literally have anything on the other side. Every time I opened a door, I was half expecting to find myself on a conveyor belt leading straight to my doom.
Nevertheless, you finally find the hidden door that leads you to the ending, with you going into event and then having to climb up. You then finding yourself in a lonely but small room with some cake and pizza, before giant bunny man comes out of nowhere from behind the curtain and gently motions at you to follow him. It then phased a black and you find yourself trapped in animatronic suit with the Bunny man. Stretching his arms out like he's flying, and doesn't give the slightest crap in the world, is the most metal thing I've seen.
My hope is that the Steel Wool games really dig into the meta of "remakes, legacy and Fandom interpretation" a la FFVII remake.
With that in mind, I see glitchtrap as a representation of Afton's legacy and how the Fandom may have perceived him, not literally William Afton being brought back to life. Also like another commenter said, it's the kids that Vanny killed haunting the Blob, and not the other ones, and the real William Afton is still very much in hell.
But I do agree that the game needs to outright say this or allude to it, instead of being convoluted and cryptic for no reason, like the series has a history of doing. And I also realize It might "not be that deep" and I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because I like meta stories.
I really like these kinds of videos that you make. When you just talk about you thoughts on the game. I like to listen to it when I’m cleaning or just chilling out. I really like your tone and tbh you’re funny. Please keep making these kinds of videos. It feels like a trip down memory lane and your opinions are very interesting.
i like to imagine that fnaf ended when everyone burnt at the end of fnaf 6. this ending (as well as the happiest day ending from fnaf 3) perfectly concludes the story, finally letting the souls rest, ending fazbear entertainment's reign, all with an absolutely (revealing and) badass monologue from Henry himself.
and although i think everygame after fnaf 6 is unnecessary, i do think that UCN is fine, if you think of it more like a spinoff game, as an epilogue to William Afton suffering after "getting swalled whole by the darkest pit of hell". (and also concludes Cassidy/Golden Freddy's story with the old man consequences ending.)
Help Wanted? unnecessary. needlessly complicated the story, and brought William Afton back (WHEN HE"S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD ALREADY, fuck me). and dont even get me started on Security Breach; although i dont think i have to, since you (rightfully) shat on it enough in this video alone
but yes, just like you (at 30:30), i too, have also come to pretend that the completion ending of pizzeria sim is the true ending of fnaf, and just pretend like the other games either didnt happen or are just some continuation in an alternate timeline.
great video, Th3Badd3st.
-
TL:DR
i like to pretend that fnaf truly ended once Henry burnt everyone and everything at the end of fnaf 6. the other games just kinda ruined this really epic ending, and so ive just come to imagine that the games post pizzeria sim are just part of some alternate timeline lol
Exactly, that way we can all pretend that FNAF 6 was the real ending all along. Then, UCN can serve as an epilogue, just like you said.
why yall underestimat William so much?
In 6 William literally says “I always come back” and in the picture of scrap trap in the fire, it doesn’t look like it’s being burned unlike the other 2 which I thought was pretty interesting, so I mean yea it should’ve ended, but SB was tied in super well with HW
Best in my opinion: FNaF 6 ending
Worst: FNaF SB (Afton ending)
The darkest pit if hell is my favorite. The fact that Henry accepts his death is blood chilling.
What is hilarious about pizzeria simulator is that the entire community had such low expectations for the game since they expected to have a sequel to sister location and thought it would be a ‘spinoff’. However the fnaf developers worked hard and proved everyone wrong by making a fun ,quick but canon tycoon type game. I remember that every was complaining saying “Where is the lore?” If only they had known…
Remember this next time you play, watch a movie or read a book: "the story starts and ends with the artist".
.
Scott barely worked on all games after UCN. This is why the story breaks from there.
.
Halo ended in Reach
Dragon ball ended in Z
And FNAF ended in UCN
I just thought that maybe the one talking to the crying child in fnaf 4 is the spirit of Cassidy, knowing there are a lot of people saying that Golden Freddy may have 2 spirits inside of it and also knowing the Golden Freddy plush is in front of the crying child during the cutscene
What makes the Completion ending in FFPS so satisfying is the sense of finality during the cutscene. Time and time again we’ve felt that the series was coming to an end, but then we get a whole new game. The monologue didn’t feel like we were ending a chapter, we have reached the end of the book at long last. Really sucks that it wasn’t stopped there, or at least keep everything afterward non-canon. Oh well.
Maybe rank every minigame in Pizzeria Simulator based on how fun they are and how much money they give you (as well as lore reveals when applicable)
Ever heard of Fnaf Afterefect DX?
A nice naritive game focussing on the origin of vanny and giving it a non canon take. You can finish it in a day but hey nothing is perfect.
i plan to play it on stream at some point
I love that "bitch" you gave after boldly telling me that this was your channel.
25:14 You are so right! This is where I saw all the lost potential in the series. The children, the spirits, the people… How did they cope with such a uniquely tragic situation?
We almost hear nothing about it, much less anything about William’s true motivations which started all of this! I actually began writing a security breach fanfic that will explore some of it because I was so upset with how little story wise we got… (The fic is called Into The Breach if anyone is interested…) Self insert main character, but because of sheer coincidence she gets glimpses into the other major characters via the spirits and Glitchtrap messing with her head.
Speaking of Afton… To me, nothing he does in the story ever makes sense, because we have no idea what his emotions are. William is played like a prop more than a character and he is one of the most human characters we get. He is just cruel murderer villain stand in and it sucks. I wanted to actually understand why he suddenly decided to put so much time and effort into making pristine robots for children he killed to possess.
This process is clearly somehow almost sacred to him, to the point he literally put his two youngest kids through it!!! There is so much more in this story that it dragged me back into the community just to do it justice, and I hope I do…
I love the fact the box ending is like
“There could be something here, I don’t know what though.”
And it makes so many questions too
Please take time out of your day and/or year to cover the BioShock series. It’s such an interesting series with so much happening in it.
13:29
Well. Can’t unhear that. Thanks.
16:31 I love how that is obviously Scott Cawthon just screaming “MIIIIIKE! HELP! MIIIIIIKE! HELP ME!” Into a mic.
You should tierlist the jumpscares from all the characters (not counting ucn or help wanted)
I honestly thought the bite of ‘83 was the best ending… until i thought about it, and it really wasnt an ending in the sense that it put one’s story to rest, it actually initiated another sequence that should be theorized and explained, unlike the happiest day which clearly showed what happened at the end of the events. But after all, the completion ending was such an amazing rest to the game that i consider sb not to be cannon, not even 1 ending made sense or even relate to anything that happened during the previous 8 installments
“Was that the bite of 87?” No, 83
The unmasked ending comets in my mind that security breach is just a fnaf branded Scooby doo thing (IT even has the main plot escalation like gang talks to person that is the culprit at the start )
honestly the golden freddy ucn ending is easily top 5. its really simple but it's such a chilling way to end the franchise
what makes the bite of '83 so sad is the fact that if you look at Mike and his friends they're laughing at crying child, but when he gets biten they stop laughing, they really where just pranking him, not intending to do any harm, just that they didn't realize they were going so far and had to live on with the guilt of a life being taken away because of their irresponsibility
"This moment isn't sad.."
Oh...just me then.
Henry's speech was just too perfect. It's sad, but the hands down the best ending in the whole series
I really wish security breach would have darker endings like one ending could be where gregory finds a room with all the missing kids with the heads of the dismantled animatronics and vanny siting in the front seat dead and glitchtrap on a tv speaking to gregory before glitchtrap hacking glamrock freddy and makes him kill gregory and a cutscene with gregory sitting in a chair with a destroyed glamrock freddy head on him with the start up screen music playing as the camera pans out
That is very specific.
@@lycheesodamusic mhm too specific
@@lycheesodamusic I think he wants Gregory dead
I hate the Fire/Unmasked Ending as much as the Afton ending for a few reasons. Using fire as a way to destroy a place just feels redundant now, and FNAF 6 just did it better coupled with Henry's cold-hearted speech. Another reason is the comic style of the whole damn thing just made it underwhelming. Also, how dare they shoehorn Vanny in an ending when she has done nothing in the games so far :/
Just disappointing really
Happiest day makes sense to me because there are 2 souls in GF so happiest day sets free the crying child while Cassidy is still angry and vengeful
What I don’t get is The puppet also seems to be set free at the happiest day so I don’t get why Charlie is still there by the time FNAF 6 happens
Yo Isaac nice video!
If you ever have the time, you should do a part 2 to your FNaF hot takes, or make a fnaf fan theory video.
Great job as always!
I just realised something...
in the happiest day minigame, at the end there are 5 balloons on the left and 1 balloon on the right. As the masks fall, all of the balloons go above the screen...
exept for the one on the right.
was Scott hinting at 2 souls being in golden Freddy SINCE THE THIRD GAME!?
Uhh no. 1 is above the puppet
Wdym
Gonna be honest, I like your worst to best videos much more then tier list
But it is your channel so do what you like
The burntrap ending before ruin: It's the biggest piece of dogshit
The Burntrap ending after ruin: THE MIMIC
I have been thinking about the Markiplier fnaf 4 flinch since the day it happened, it’s so telling how well crafted that cutscene is if it even caught Mark by surprise. He was so desensitized to the game at that point bc of how many times he had to redo the night, it’s just sooooo I love it so much.
I think we can all agree that fnaf is at it's best when it's just being explicit.
27:56 don’t understand why everyone one says that gf isn’t here. In the bad ending he is behind everyone, and can be seen only by the lights. In this scene, the light are off. So he is still there, but can’t be seen. I think if it was like he is the only who wasn’t freed, then I think he would be the only with the lights like in bad ending. And by the way, in the minigame nothing also shows that gf has a some different fate than others, his mask falling down with the same speed as others, only puppet’s mask falls slower. So I think there’s nothing special to him, his mask is also lying in the shadow behind others
personally i want the MAIN series to end, but spinoff plot and lore building games would be kinda cool imo, as long as they don't pull a FNAF world or something 😭
Also honestly SB was a letdown but mostly bc it was released entirely unfinished. the scrapped plots, voice lines, events, etc were all INFINITELY more intriguing than what we got. I wish it would've focused on Vanny- there's definitely something there and that's what was originally intended :/
If you do another ranking, rank which jumpscare is the scariest for you tier list or worst to best, you can do all games if you want or by game. Rank by the ones that actually scare you the most or give a reaction.
I still get chills when i hear the dialog in the Completion ending of Fnaf 6
Hey, those weird unidentifiable things in the fnaf plus teaser vid you made, I think they are supposed to be foxys teeth. They match in shape and layout and would make sense to be seen by the child stuffed into foxy
