History Headscratchers / FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator

*** It's unlikely that their beef would just end so easily. Besides, even though they '''somehow''' wanted to help Scrap Baby, she's dedicated to Scraptrap anyway–a.k.a., '''''THEIR CREATOR AND THE REASON WHY THEY EXIST AND HAVE THE PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES TO KILL CHILDREN THAT THEY ADORE, AND THE REASON WHY THEY HAVE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG'''''. Why on God's green earth would they want to help '''''[[WouldHurtAChild WILLIAM]] [[SerialKiller AFTON]]!?'''''
* So what was the deal with the whole freak show thing anyway? These guys are all scraps, and as far as I know did not come from some freakshow. Everything seems to indicate that you're trying to run a legit kid friendly Fazbears restaurant and not another 'Fazbear Fright'.

** Consdiering that he got scooped... He more than likely has the "sound-illusion" disks implanted inside of him. These were mentioned in the books, and you can see one blinking red inside of Baby.

* Does Cassette guy really think he can [[spoiler:kill Springtrap in a fire? The same Springtrap who already survived one]]? He clearly knows enough about [[spoiler:Springtrap to lure him into a trap and tell him he's going to hell]], so he must know about the incident at Fazbear's Fright.

** Each time you complete it out of three times, her mood turns much sadder as the game glitches. By the third play, she's visibly crying and after the game ends, you get to clearly see the reflection of [[spoiler:her and what seems to be Spring-Bonnie behind her. Who tells her that "He's not dead yet" and to "Follow me"]].

* So, what do the animatronics do when they catch you in this game? For most of them, they probably just kill you, but there is one in particular for whom it really isn't clear: [[spoiler:Lefty/The Puppet]]. According to Cassette Guy's monologue in the ending, [[spoiler:his daughter, who is possessing the Puppet, [[DarkIsNotEvil really does have good intentions]]]]. So why does she attack(?) you? Yeah, the player character is presumably an adult, and [[spoiler:The Puppet]] seems to have a disdain for adults, but it still seems strange. Does she simply not know about her father's plans?
** If it's true that you're playing as [[spoiler:Mike Afton]], she might still mistake him for William Afton.

** Honestly, the way I see it is that she does have good intentions. For '''Children'''. Any adults, regardless of reason, are the enemy — making it entirely possible she would even attack [[spoiler:her own father]] if she ever found him.
** [[spoiler:Some Blueprints from the Insane Ending seem to indicate that Lefty was designed the same way the Circus Baby Animatronics were — to lure and kidnap children. If that's the case, then the Puppet might have claimed Lefty not only as a disguise to get into the Pizzeria, but also in order to counteract Lefty's malevolent purpose. This would also explain why Lefty attacks you — the Puppet is thoroughly good this time, but is locked in a struggle for control with Lefty, who could very well kill you even with the Puppet fighting it.]]

** I'm pretty sure that it's the latter. Although knowing Scott, I wouldn't be surprised if putting a certain combination of toppings triggered the [[spoiler:Insane ending]]. Who would ever put X in a pizza?!

** With the implications that Cassette Guy possibly being [[spoiler:the game universe's Henry (who died by suicide before the 1990's in the Silver Eyes)]], [[spoiler:the logical conclusion is that the Puppet's inhabitant is the Games' counterpart to Charlotte, who outlived her old man in the books]].

** Alright, then, I'll admit my mistake. I was under the heavy impression that all of the animatronics prior, by which I mean the first incarnations of the Fazfour (whom were implied to be upgraded between ''2'' and ''1'') and possibly the Toys were mostly designed and programmed by Henry. Especially considering that I highly doubt Willy A would feel comfortable with a criminal database in robots he helped design on the (unlikely) chance he already has a criminal record.

** Simple. It was all a lie. The company was that ONE restaurant after so long, and so many deaths. There were no additional companies, as there was no reason to keep them around. They were just bad news to run, but a Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria would be a surefire way to attract animatronics to your door. Henry and HAND-Unit (whom could have been programmed by Henry to give the story he wants) needed someone to help them without being aware of why, so why not lie? Making a situation seemed more grand to attract more willing workers, to lure and capture animatronics.

* What purpose do the two vents serve in the office? Could Henry/Cassette Man seriously have not just equipped the room with ventalation that ''didn't'' run through his maze of death? Surely there was another way, he stated there was an escape route there if the pizzeria manager chose to utilize it to escape the fire.

** It should also be noted that, in the case of the Fazbear's Fright fire, there was minimal to no control over its effectiveness. If it was an accident, then nobody was controlling it and Springtrap could easily escape. If it ''was'' a planned arson by the Night Guard to destroy him, keep in mind that the Night Guard would have to simultaneously commit the arson AND deal with surviving Springtrap at the same time. That kind of stress could easily throw off one's mental state rather severely, and without any proper planning to trap him Springtrap wouldn't have a hard time escaping that either. Cassette Guy, on the other hand, kept Springtrap in a thoroughly sealed and trapped location where there would be no escape from the fire.
** Considering that it seems that the restaurant and the area you are in aren't connected; Fright was ment to be an attraction, a place you could evacuate. As others have said, the new place was designed for one purpose only. And besides, he might have just gotten lucky the first time, it's not like managing to survive certain death makes you invulnerable or anything.
* The girl playing the arcade- What was the meaning behind her being happy the first time you play it and sad the second time?

** It might just be playing along. Unlikely yes, but if any of the other animatronics got suspicious and realized it's true purpose, Cassette Guy's entire plan would be in jeopardy.
** Honestly the way i see it is that she does have good intentions. For '''Children'''. Any adults regardless of reason are the enemy. Making it entirely possibly she would even attack [[spoiler: her own father]] if she ever found him.

If that's the case, then the Puppet might have claimed Lefty not only as a disguise to get into the Pizzeria, but also in order to counteract Lefty's malevolent purpose.

*** Lefty wasn't made to kidnap children, it was made specifically to get the Marionette. Henry knew his daughter was possessing it and wanted to give her the same peace and freedom. FridgeBrilliance also kicks in when you realize how spindly and physically weak the Puppet probably is compared to the rest of the malevolent animatronics - he wanted to give his daughter some way to fight back if she ever encountered someone like, say, Springtrap by accident.

*** Throughout the series, the majority of animatronics don't seem to move when you're looking at them. Even in this game, during the tests they will only move when your vision is obstructed by something (sans the opening, which may not be canon). Haunted or not, the animatronics seem limited by their programming to some extent, so maybe there's something in that programming about not moving in someone's line of sight outside of normal operating hours. If that's the case, you could safely throw them out as long as you maintain eye contact the whole time.

* What kind of cosmetics is Micheal using to hide the fact hes a rotted corpse?? If he really was Mike then management would probably remember the decayed man working for them.

*** Ironic, isn't it? - Baby nearly saves all the Ennard animatronics by being thrown out! Baby is William Afton's daughter, Elizabeth, so if she ''had'' stayed in charge and they'd all come to the simulator Pizzeria all as one, there'd be ''one less animatronic'' around and it'd be easier to kill them off. By being a controlling control freak who was "a bit of a bother", she made it less likely that they'd all die and that at least ''one'' of them would live...
** I think the bigger question is why neither of them are trying to tear each others robotic equivalent of a throat from being in the same building.
*** Who says they weren't? Mike just got in the way - once he's dead, ''then'' they can rip the shit out of each other.
*** And who's to say that their beef with Baby didn't end the moment they kicked her out of their combined consciousness. It's hinted that Molten Freddy isn't just there to fulfill his(/their?) programming of being child killing machines - but that Springtrap and Baby might actually be using him(/them?) as a soul jar for the souls of the original five kids... or other children's souls. The Golden Ending includes Molten Freddy in his rant about giving up the souls that "don't belong to them" so he(/they?) have got something inside them they shouldn't.

** The Animatronics look the way the do because of what can be theorized that they rebuilt themselves with spare parts, its also Pretty much stated they are found in the alleyway outside. (How they got there is another question in itself)

** With the implications that Cassette Guy possibly being [[spoiler:the game universes Henry (Whom Died by suicide before the 1990's in the Silver Eyes)]] [[spoiler: The logical conclusion is that The puppet's inhabitant is the Game's counterpart to Charlotte Whom outlived her old man in the books.]]
* I am no fire fighter, but HOW would a fire burn a bunch of animatronics? Considering that one of them survived a fire before.
** The heat was reaching nearly 200 degrees. Plus we can assume that the maze is pretty much comprised of only Metal passageways. Heat conducts metal so 200 Degrees in such a closed off metallic space and your basically looking at a Huge Oven. Unlike Fazbears fright which could easily be escaped.
*** Also keep in mind that near 200 degree heat... that was what the temperature gauge in your office was reading. The one place where there was supposed to be an escape route from, the place that would be the slowest to burn/heat up when Cassette Guy put his plan in action. It is possible that outside your office things are getting even hotter.
** While that in of itself might not be enough to destroy any significant part of the animatronics, Cassette Guy ''intended'' for the place to burn down, so there could very well be a mix of accelerants and other chemicals in the walls that keep the fire burning at much higher temperatures, specifically so [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill there'd be nothing left of the animatronics he was trying to destroy.]]
** The blueprints also indicate that there was something implanted into the robots called 'remnant' that kept souls bound to them. And that 'remnant' broke down under intense heat. If the robots weren't fully destroyed then the remnant certainly was.
* So after all is said and done... we know the majority of the animatronics were haunted by several kids, and one even by their own murderer, but does that leave Ballora, Funtime Freddy and Ennard.. and possibly the Toy animatronics to just be... random evil AI? I mean I know it's a game, but at least a vengeful spirit controlling what would be a normal animatronic makes more sense than Afton creating evil sentient machine
** The toys were implied to be tampered with As well as supposedly having a glitch in their face recognition software. As for thd funtimes they were specifcially designed to be killers only their advanced AI supposedly made them aware enough to break programming and im pretty sure none of the robots comply to the 3 laws.

** I was moreso talking about all the other animatronics. I.e the ones intended to entertain and not kill. Aftons lot are a no brainer on weather they comply or not
*** They're ''all'' Afton's lot, with possible the exceptions of the Marionette, which we now know existed before the first murder, and the original Fredbear. The rest were either made by Afton or altered by him (Or made by his creations, ie Ennard). It's never made explicitly clear what the actual effect of having a soul does for the AI, but the Funtime generation were deliberately designed to kidnap children by Afton himself. Keep in mind that up until Sister Location, the animatronics were exactly that: animatronics, simple robots that have (admittedly very sophisticated) simple abilities. They can follow sound, move within a pre-rendered map space that limits them to the property, and they sure as shit can get violent, but of all the actual animatronics (ie, not Springtrap, who had a human mind the entire time, and the Marionette, whose programming limitations were different and discontinued), the only ones that have true artificial intelligence are the ones introduced in Sister Location and Pizzeria Simulator. The rest are basically just given human motivation while still being limited by their programming. The easiest way to tell them apart is that except for Springtrap (human) and the Marionette (not limited to a map), only the animatronics with full artificial intelligence are capable of leaving their home building under their own power, and they're the only ones who can actually speak beyond one or two pre-recorded phrases.
** Alright then I'll admit my mistake. I was under the heavy impression that all of the animatronic's prior by which i mean the first incarnations of the Fazfour (whom were implied to be upgraded between 2 and 1) and possibly the Toy's were mostly designed and programmed by Henry. Especially considering that I highly doubt Willy A would feel comfortable with a criminal database in robots hes helped design on the (Unlikely) chance he already has a criminal record.
*** Chances are, Henry ''did'' design the first few generations, but Afton altered them. It's never made clear (because it's FNAF, practically nothing is clear) but I always figured the tampering came with the disappearance of the day shift guard to disable the criminal database. After all, it never says what ''kind'' of database it is, it's not necessarily limited to convicts. It wouldn't surprise me to find out they were using a database of mugshots and wanted posters.

** Afton's case is possibly due to the fact he died when Spring Bonnie was in suit mode. Meaning IF Spring Bonnie had a vocal system in the first place it wouldn't be active (and might even be beyond repair at this point) Baby's case seems to be pointing towards a common theory that A soul and an animatronic's soul intertwine when together for an undisclosed amount of time. It's quite possible that Baby's inhabitant has gone insane from everything thats happened.
* If you are playing as Micheal Afton, how come Springtrap and Baby want to kill you? Doesn't William realize that's his own son? Even he must have some kind of restraint! Plus, Baby technically has no use for Micheal now that she's out of the Sister Location place. So why is she trying to kill her own brother? Is that the Aftons are that messed up?
** They must be too far gone mentally, especially if this game is supposed to take place after FNAF 3 and all that time has past. They're just vengeful spirits out to kill children and any adult witness that might stand in their way.
** It would be very suspicious as to why Michael is not only alive but present at this establishment. Assuming he is also 3's protagonist then he knows alot about both of them he even hindered and messed with springtrap. To them it cannot be a coincidence Michael is present.

** Simple. It was all a lie. The company was that ONE restaurant after so long, and so many deaths. There were no additional companies, as there was no reason to keep them around. They were just bad news to run, but a Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria would be a surefire way to attract animatronics to your door.

Making a situation seemed more grand to attract more willing workers, to lure and capture animatronics.

* If Henry and William are both coworkers, why does the former sound so young in his speech in the ending? Shouldn’t he be at least 80 years old already?

* It would be very suspicious as to why Michael is not only alive but present at this establishment. Assuming he is also 3's protagonist then he knows alot about both of them and even hindered and messed with springtrap. To them it xannot be a coincidence Michael is present.
