* Sun never seriously attacks Gregory. Unlike the other named animatronics, including Freddy, the game doesn't contain any "death" screens featuring Sun. The worst Sun does is return Gregory to a particular spot when the latter wanders off, yell at him, and ban him from the daycare. As the fun Day Attendant to small children who may still be having violent temper tantrums, Sun was likely never programmed to be aggressive under any circumstances, especially in retaliation, and probably has several extra safeguards built-in to keep it from attacking children. [[AmbiguousDisorder It does, however, seem to have an obsession with cleaning and doing certain "fun" activities, is overly friendly, is pushy to the point of being overbearing, and tends to stay way too close to Gregory.]] Sun also seems to yell a lot, but the yelling mainly starts after Gregory [[BerserkButton breaks the daycare's one rule and turns off the lights]]. These negative traits might be the result of Vanny trying to make Sun attack children. Instead, Sun might be doing all it can to resist being violent towards children and protect them, which would also help explain its [[PainfulTransformation pained reaction to the lights being off]]. [[EvilMeScaresMe Sun probably knows that Moon has traumatized at least one child and is trying to keep Moon away from them, despite Sun likely being altered itself.]]

* The Roxy Raceway being closed for refurbishment is more than just the same in-universe reason of the sinkhole, it’s because Roxy is kind of a variant of Foxy, and in the first game, Foxy’s attraction, Pirate’s Cove, was out of order.

** Though ''Help Wanted 2'' suggests that Cassie was actually ''meant'' to get the mask...



** Developing an InferioritySuperiorityComplex, destructive rage fits, and binge-eating are all common symptoms of ongoing emotional pain in real life. Since Vanny was tampering with them, it's possible the animatronics recognize that they are [[NotHimself not acting the way they should]] and, like a human would in such a situation, react in maladaptive ways based on their programmed personalities. Roxanne, a confident and competitive tomboy, becomes more self-centered and prone to constantly reminding herself of her own worth. Monty, TheBigGuy, lashes out and destroys his surroundings. Chica, a comedic BigEater, [[PostStressOvereating tries to numb her pain with food.]]
** On another note, this also makes the fact that Gregory eventually mutilates the other animatronics even ''more'' horrifying in hindsight. While they had it coming for trying to kill him, the fact that their pain is very real makes it ultra unnerving, especially since they don't have any real say in their mission to get Gregory.

**** Even worse, this isn't necessarily restricted to just Monty. ''Any one of the Glamrocks at any location'' can potentially turn murderous of their own free will, if only towards each other. For all we know, each member of the original Glamrock Band (including Bonnie) has at least one EvilCounterpart at another Pizzaplex who may have also killed one or more of their colleagues for any number of reasons!

* Gregory has every reason to dislike the Mr. Hippo magnet even aside from considering Mr. Hippo "lame". As an apparent homeless child, he has no fridge, so without so much as a character he likes, it's totally useless.

* Chica is the only one of the original 4 to not be replaced, whether it be for unknown reasons like Foxy, or if broken or lost like Freddy or Bonnie. She's the least problematic PR-wise: Freddy is the mascot of the disasterous Fazbear Entertainment and Fredbear bit into the head of a child, killing him. Bonnie is the suit used by the serial killer who tarnished the franchise's image. Foxy is the one animatronic who always seemed to be broken, and him and his iterations like Mangle are suspects of the Bite of '87. That leaves Chica, who has not played a role in any of the deaths or murders in the franchise's history.

* The pizzaplex seems to have been undergoing a restoration, but from the faded and wrecked looks of the construction equipment and maintenance banners, there haven't been any workers at the building for a while. Then you notice a message scrawled on a dead monitor: "DON'T GO IN ALONE..." After this, as you travel through the ruined attractions and tunnels, you notice things that wouldn't be part of the rebuilding: boarded up doors, painted warnings of the ruined animatronics, and more. What happened to stop the repairs of the pizzaplex?

In the GoldenEnding, Freddy's a head and they have Vanny/Vanessa with them, and in the TrueEnding, it's just Freddy and Gregory because they never free or rescue Vanny.

* In the collectables menu, you can see "frozen treats", which are ice cream that are shaped like the animatronics' heads, with candy or gumballs in place of eyes. Mimicking how these kinds of ice cream look like in real life, the candy-eyes are misaligned on all of the "treats" except for Roxy's, whose eyes are placed in the right place. This makes sense, given how much Roxy cares about her looks- she wouldn't let anything that has her face on it make it look silly or bad! It might also be a reference to the fact that she loses her eyes, which means that she ends up eyeless anyway.

*** Any and all recharge stations seen in the Ruin DLC appear to be damaged, but still functional. A recharge station lying on the ground in front of the Cupcake Shoppe and heavily leaking battery acid was still capable of recharging Chica sufficiently for prolonged pursuits and searches, as prior to this, she was only capable of traveling short distances before entering rest mode to conserve power, and is first seen in the Cupcake Shoppe in a deactivated state, likely due to exhausting her already-depleted battery while searching for Cassie on M.X.E.S.'s orders.

** If Monty really did murder Bonnie, then that leaves a whole lot of other disturbing implications; namely, that Freddy, Chica, and Roxy have been performing onstage with a ''murderer'' for who knows how long, and that Chica and Roxy both live ''next door'' to said murderer, which is a very, '''very''' [[RealismInducedHorror real fear]], even if they are robots in an entertainment complex. It gets worse; while Monty is implied to be an in-universe ReplacementScrappy for Bonnie, there have to have been at least a ''few'' kids — especially older ones — who liked Monty; he is, after all, [[KidsLoveDinosaurs a big, ferocious reptile with sharp teeth]]. Any children — however few — who liked Monty, played golf with him, drew pictures of him, got his autograph, bought merchandise of him and took it home, possibly even clinging to their Monty plushies in bed to feel safe, and may have even wanted to be like him when they grow up and even preferred him over Bonnie. They were idolizing and playing with a murderer. All the people who cheered for Monty onstage, especially during the intro cutscene. They were cheering for a murderer. All the posters and cutouts of Monty around the Pizzaplex along with the other Glamrocks. His face plastered around the Superstar Daycare, above the front-door exit, and especially on the logo for the Pizzaplex itself. All of this iconography, merchandise, and the like is (possibly) in dedication to a '''MURDERER!!!''' A murderer who has been living at the Pizzaplex and hanging around ''children!'' All of this was originally Bonnie's, but he's long gone now. And if Monty really is responsible, then that means he took what was rightfully Bonnie's, just to get famous. It's like [[WesternAnimation/{{Coco}} Ernesto De La Cruz]] if he was a robotic rock musician. On the plus side, this would also mean that Gregory [[LaserGuidedKarma actually did the right thing]] by decommissioning Monty, [[RightForTheWrongReasons even if he didn't know beforehand]].

* Why does Gregory wait to betray Cassie until she's successfully escaped the Mimic and is in the elevator up, even going so far as to guide her away to safety before sending her plummeting to her potential death in the normal ending? Look again at the Mimic's kill screen: It's raising its hand in a way that suggests it's either going to dismember or pummel Cassie to death, and she's still awake to watch it happen. And considering even just what Gregory and Cassie know about and experience firsthand in the Pizzaplex, it's not impossible that the Mimic would do something [FateWorseThanDeath even worse] to Cassie afterwards. A death caused by plummeting several dozen feet to the bottom of an elevator shaft would still be terrifying, but it's much likelier that Cassie would either die on impact or be rendered mercifully unconscious, making [[CruelToBeKind Gregory's betrayal]] more of a MercyKill.
