The Modern FNAF Timeline

We can all agree that these theories have re-ignited our love for fnaf to some extent

“My friends over at Game Theory” is the hardest flex I’ve ever heard and the most earned one. Love that for you John!!

[@TheScholar13]

Damn I didn't expect him to cover AR this much. I have to say John digs into all the places others don't want to even look at, and pulls out the best lore!

[@darkanddolly16]

It is truly INSANE to me how far FNAF has come from the initial missing children's incident.

[@alliesangalli1757]

It's so cool seeing John's theorycrafting abilities improve with each video. I really like the small connections he points out, even tho some of them might be a bit of a stretch, and I like that he's still including those bits, just making sure to mention that the connections might be a bit loose.

[@SamLabbato]

this was so good. I love the fnaf AR elements, cause no one ever really talks about it anymore, but apparently it had a lot of story in it that I missed

[@CrasherLIX]

I love tge back and forth that Fuhnaf and GameTheory is having with the recent theories, is really endearing to see them call each other on every episode

[@nmm_01]

I do like how big FNaF has become but also I sometimes just miss the days when the lore just used to be "evil man murders kids in animal suit"

[@Banana807]

Yeah but in a way most of this stuff is just an evolution of what was stated before

[@aezito9516]

The blob being made up of the AR animatronics (as in replicas of the originals) would explain why Baby's mask is there and not Scrap-Baby...

[@michaelcarlton1484]

Basically, in FNAF:AR, you either extract remnant from the invited animatronic by taking it down, or you become remnant because it kills you and absorbs your essence. Depending on how far production went, William has dozens of killer robots shipped around getting his soul juice fix.

The blob is most likely Agony or shadow remnant and stole the AR animatronics once they arrived as Matpat said in his video on the blob, using its tentacles to get throughout the pizzaplex.

I love that FuhNaff is a new comer in the fnaf topic and that he is already one of the top theorists

[@skippy9273]

Dang, this is a fantastic breakdown of the AR lore. That lore is so critically misunderstood and underutilized

[@speedster8138]

What if, the blob was supposed to be the Remnant collection BUT Vanny forgot about agony inside it, hence why we see it attacking Afton at the end, it was a revenge 🤔

Cue matpat watching and reaction to this “A GAME THEORYYYYY THANKS FOR WATCHING”

[@KavinCatastrophe]

10:54 I don’t know about Vanny Killing all those people and just saying they all went to a Company Retreat. I would say she found a way to force all those employees to go on a Company Retreat. Each people have their own individual lives and people that care about them. There would be more questions as to why none of them even talk about this company retreat. Plus that a Huge Body count. Vanny would be giving herself away.

[@tomkubus]

The ultimate guide isn't made by Scott but someone else and has many problems so shouldn't be used, but from the emails we know fnaf AR happens between fnaf vr and curse of dreadbear, another candidate for helping william and being the CEO is mike, he's next in line to be a CEO, he always helps William and is confirmed to have escaped the fnaf 6 fire by the Devs of fnaf ar, also remnant of the MCI would still be in the blob, since we know from William himself and Dr Talbert that the fnaf 6 fire would power the remnant, "I was wrong, fire powers remnant" ~ William, and if it was just their agony, then agony decays without remnant, and they are separate things

[@janno7214]

I can't believe you actually managed to make fanf AR fit into the lore lmao, that's impressive

I am abosutely amazed by how fnaf theorists can piece together such confusing and messy lore into a proper timeline. Props to John for not losing his sanity yet 👏👏

[@laurenskye5420]

One thing i never see mentioned is the floating orbs in certain areas of the pizzaplex. they almost all hover in places adjacent to the raceway, underground and closest to afton and the blob. They could be dust motes but all of these rooms are undisturbed until Gregory comes in so that doesn't seem likely. It looks and behaves more like the remnant from FNAF AR.

[@NobleKos]

what if we are Vanessa in 'Help Wanted' and tape girl is a separate character all together? no one has ever questioned who we are in that game.

[@TheHuskyK9]

The ending was the cherry on top. Great video and great observation skills

[@sachiy2893]

[@savrajxd9236]

In the beginning of FNAF security breach when Freddy takes Gregory to the first aid station Vanessa says to keep an eye out for Gregory and that she already informed the other anatronics. Perhaps at that point vannesa spread the virus to the others

[@twistedjosh14]

The lore got so meta and I love it

[@sirfazbear4993]

Facts

[@Songal18]

I think that everything is stretched in Security Breach and everyone is trying to find the stretched pieces and pull them back in shape, so the foxy plush and endo head are possibly one of those pieces. This was a very good video, and theory.

[@ankitnanda9421]

Thank you so much for making this, FNAF can be nice again.

[@Superstrike_11]

The Jeremy face cutting off thing always seemed to me like him defending the world against Glitchtrap, turning himself into an unsuitable host. If the name Jeremy holds the significance we think it does, then he probably knew what was going to happen, and likely had little time to act.

The tapes have always been a confusing point to me. If gathering the tapes causes Glitchtrap to take over than how did Tape Girl become possessed? Since it is implied she made the tapes.

[@jiyojiy6202]

She said he attached himself to the tapes after she made it. So she hid all the tapes, until she suddenly changed and told you to collect them

[@Master5522111]

@@jiyojiy6202 but if that is the case, why not just change all of them?

[@jiyojiy6202]

@@Master5522111 I meant the girl changed the goal of the tapes. She first said you shouldn't assemble the tapes, but once you have most of it, you're too deep into the trap.

[@Master5522111]

@@jiyojiy6202 I understand that part, finding and gathering the tapes causes Glitchtrap to take over. But the part that doesn’t make sense is how the tapes were made. Why would she be hiding video logs in the video game and how could she become possessed if the tapes are what is needed to be assembled for Glitchtrap to take over? Either Glitchtrap has her record over the last two tapes, in which case why didn’t he write over all of them, or she was possessed before all of the tapes were assembled. My only thought is that maybe we have been making too many assumptions with how the tape’s works because the evidence we have on them are very conflicting

[@jiyojiy6202]

@@Master5522111 You made a good point. Glitchtrap was in the VR game codes, and somehow got to her tapes, so her recordings must’ve been made inside the game? I feel like it’s just a justification to hide lore in collectible tapes though.

[@WilczycaCzarownica]

I knew that collecting remnant is somehow connected to William. There's no way that people playing game collected remnant that they never heard of.

[@ARobotIsMe]

The fnaf timeline be like spaghetti, it’s messy and tangled

[@michaelvought4433]

I really enjoy your lore videos and i think you do an excellent job with them! While I haven't read the Ultimate Lore guide myself, it seems odd they would phrase it "The Aftons seem to believe that Remnant is the key to power" instead of just saying William. It kinda feels like more than one Afton would be hunting for Remnant the way it's written.

[@robbieg6838]

After I heard the original game music (for security breach) was available I looked at noticed one song with the title “Happy (true) ending” along with all the endings, I think you should hear it because I think the princess quest ending is the true ending… not the Burntrap ending

[@AlejandraLopez-nb2yj]

Somehow i still believe that Mrs. Afton is behind the shadows doing something like John's Kramer wife. In the Spanish translation of Spooky Mansion minigame from DLC Dread Bear, is named: Esposa Mansion, that means Wife's Mansion. the fact that they need a lot (A LOT!) of money to do this things (building a mega pizza plex, for example!) so, i think Mrs. Afton is really rich and doing everything so she can have their kids back.

Fazbear Entertainment: the peak of unprofessionalism. Some random guy drops off an unmarked box of circuit boards claiming they'll help speed up progress on the VR game. Well heck fellas: you heard the man! Let's do it! Sounds smart. That is no different than some random guy in a rabbit costume leading a bunch of kids into an unmarked backroom promising them free candy or something. Tragic story, yes, but I must be blunt: I was not that stupid as a toddler. Anyway, been loving the theories, and I think you're spot on for the most part.

Can’t lie Why is the vanny mask different in security breach to the one in the trailer Also in the curce of dread bear the masks black spot is on the right side but the one in the security breach is on the left side. Could this be the twin theory and help us understand the fire ending?

[@gl1tch_f0xy_wrkrsideGT19]

Okay hell yes, I kinda agree with some of the things you've said 👍. I also think there's a certain way springlocks work but I'm waiting for the right time to work on it 👍

[@anubis8984]

I have a theory on why Cassidy is always in a sitting position and why the gf suit is always shaking it's because the suit she's in weighs to much. In the books afton (Dave) captures one of the friends and puts them in a spring lock suit that kills them if they move. I suppose that he did with Cassidy maybe that is why she is always shaking trying to get out or maybe it's because the same thing that happened to afton where he didn't die at first but died later happened to her. It could be why she's always shaking because the suit is to heavy. The suit might have come after fredbear (FNAF 4) but before Freddy( FNAF 1) or it was a transition suit between a real bear to the spring lock suits. She was probably the last one taken and put in the suit the afton would have put her in the (secret room) where people who were in spring Lock accidents were taken to. I also have another theory but this one sounds stupider than the first though The crying child can talk to ghosts. That's why his toys talk and why he is scared of the animatronics because William afton as spring Bonnie killed the kids. The fredbear plush could be anyone maybe even his mom or any other ghost. In the end it says "we" are "still" you're friends meaning that there's more than one it also means that he is very much dead because they are still his friends even after he dies. Also FNAF 4 is most likely to be a dream the ghost giving closure or leading him to the Afterlife. In the game you can see medical items. He could just be crazy because you can also see pills. Maybe that was what the story was at the time of release or something. But hey that's just a theory a gaaaaaammmmmmmeeeeee theory thanks for reading.
