~~FIVE NIGHT'S AT FREDDY'S 2 ENDING EXPLAINED~~
11 years ago
I know a good chunk of you are a bit confused about the ending, but much like the original, the story is VERY subtle and put in that way intentionally by Scott so fans can build their own theories
Being a very huge fan of the series, I'll try to explain it as best as I can. Scott made the story for both games deliberate so theories could be made and let the players make their own version of what took place. The game is obviously a prequel, reasons being the end of night 6 as it being confirmation.
Lets go back to the beginning though. Look at the gameplay itself. Notice that the newer animatronics are the ones that only attack you during the first couple nights, but as the nights progress, the older animatronics come after you. This is because over the week, the murderer who stole the Golden Freddy suit was luring kids one by one and killing them off. You find this out in the 6th night when the phone guy says that the day shift worker stole one of the suits and was luring the kids with it. The 5th night is when the police were pending some sort of investigation.
Notice how Golden Freddy ONLY appears on the 6th night, this is deliberate because on the 5th day, the murderer eventually ended up killing himself in front of the restaurant, which is revealed in the Mini Games you play when you die.
Now the reason why the suits are haunted is because The Puppet, who is believed to have contained the soul of the first killed child, helped bring the souls of the previous murdered children into the animatronics, which is why the older ones come after you as the nights go one. Each time adding a new old animatronic to come kill you.This is only if I'm correct, still need to test this theory myself, but it's more then likely the case. You can tell with this because in the Mini Game where you play as The Puppet, you "Give Life" as the objective, and each time you do, a animatronic head shows up to show that they were, well, given life to an extent.
Now this also builds up to why they want to kill you, the new animatronics were tampered with by a mysterious person, who is believe to be the murderer doing this.
Later, the phone guy tells you he's going to switch you to the day shift as he takes the night shift because there's going to be a family party there and you need to make sure the animatronics don't attack anyone because they've grown to hate adults due to what has happened to them. This is shown when the phone guy tells you that they get along with the kids fine, but not the adults, they just stare at them.
This also leads up to the infamous "Bite of '87". Notice in your check, you get even less money because the time is in 1987. Now, it's believed at the party, Foxy takes notice to you (Jeremy), and bites off your frontal lobe because he is trying to protect the kids as well as get revenge. Why? Because he sees you as a Day Shift Worker, and what killed all those children? A Day Shift Worker. This is shown through Foxy's Mini Game where you make the children happy. Notice how one of the children is sad, and at the end you see the purple man appear smiling as well as all of the children dead, hinting that Foxy probably witnessed one of the children being killed
Now. this leads up to FNAF 1 how? Well, At the very end, you see in the newspaper article that the New Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is shut down because of malfunctions with the animatronics which almost bankrupts the company. The company itself actually started as "Fazbear Family Diner" as mentioned by the phone guy, which is where the original animatronics came from. So since the company was almost bankrupt, they had to have MAJOR budget cuts, meaning the older location will have to be the "new" place to open. So the animatronics look a lot more...older and not as high quality because of the cuts, same with the place being a wreck. This also explains why there is limited power, not to mention the introduction of doors to help keep the night watchmen safe because obviously the previous location didn't have any doors.
That is just my own theory after looking into it~
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them!
~❤️Wonderful people in my life❤️~
Did he get a gun from a cop and shoot himself? Maybe
Did he kill himself in another fashion? Maybe.
It's all shrouded in speculation. Scott Cawthon is a genius in the fact he makes you think, theorize, and dig to come up with the story.
The Puppet is the only one hacked, and it can be speculated that the music box prevents its commands from being sent due to audio frequency being unable to be sent to the robot while the music box is wound and playing.
The hacking gets more and more intense as the nights go on, Golden Freddy is mentioned on the Sixth night and the murders start to happen, thusly warranting the appearance of Golden Freddy,whom the killer used to get to the children. The haunting begins then.
(Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy also show up on Night 6, further confirming the Haunting beginning then.)
Plus, notice how the older animatronics start to attack you as the nights progress, in earlier nights it's just the new ones.
The old parts in the new bodies are communicating with the old bodies, still.
But there are some things still unexplained though
Other than that one thing, I tend to dislike the whole "it's a prequel" theory...well...they pretty much...vaguely, mention the events of what happened at the previous location and that, after attempting to repair the older animatronics,(and the fact that they still smelled) they eventually took them apart for spare parts for the newer animatronics.
I mean...yeah, you can make all the theories and such, but when you have stuff like that right in the game...it's kind of a moot point. lol
In the case of hauntings. It's more likely that moving location and changing the old animatronics disturbed the spirits haunting them even more than they already were.
In most real world cases, a situation like that, someone moving into a home and moving everything around, tends to disturb whatever spirit that was residing there.
In the case of Five Nights at Freddy's...I mean...it's not just a small family moving into house, it's an entire entertainment business, customers and all bustling about.
See I highly disagree with all of that, specially because there's LOT more evidence that proves it's a prequel as opposed to it being a sequel. Just as you said, there's stuff right in the game that proves it.
To be honest, if it was a sequel a LOT wouldn't make any sense. One and most importantly the Phone Guy still being alive when you clearly hear him get killed. Not to mention your pay as well which is $100 which is even less money then it was before which wouldn't make any sense if you worked the same hours. Plus it wouldn't make any sense either when the Phone Guy starts talking about the investigation starting about one of the previous employees and how the restaurant is on lockdown. Plus he also talks about how that previous employee just used a yellow suit in the back. So unless the same murders and same circumstances happened all over again, I doubt that would make this a sequel.
As for a lot more other evidence that proves this is a prequel, aside from all the other reasons I heavily listed in the journal, the core ones I'll focus on here is, one, being your paycheck. Scott made the date deliberate so it could help establish a time frame, specially since you make less money now. Second, again, being the phone guy's phone calls to you. As I've previously stated a few times before, again since he's already supposed to be dead, he talks to you about how the investigation was started on Night 4, Night 5 he says how the building is on lockdown due to one of the previous employees and how he's going to try and find someone to take your shift, Night 6 he says how that employee stole one of the yellow suits in the back and used it for the obvious purposes and how he'll be the one to take over your night shift. Which leads us back up to FNAF 1 where he's the previous security guard to have that shift.
Scott deliberately made the first calls sound like it was taking place after FNAF 1 because that's what helps it be a surprise when you find out it's actually a prequel. The restaurant the Phone Guy talks about is "Fredbears Family Diner" as I mentioned in the journal
That, and I've only seen him operate from the one or two gaming sites.
Most of that you can easily infer and you also left out a lot of big things.

Not to mention a lot of that in the timeline is basically what I said, for the most part anyway, it does stretch it a few times, and a couple of the stuff I don't agree with. :P
Instead of writing a novel about it, I just made a "small" enough summary so it doesn't need to be a project :P
But to really explain everything, really well, it kinda needs to be a novel :p
I don't agree with everything in that link either though, it left out a couple things too.
So yeah, good theory overall.
