It’s crazy that Scott quickly produced a second game in only a month and it is arguably one of the greatest horror games of all time.

[@unrealomida1]

And he didn’t even have a second game planned his original plan was it to be one-way horror that could be replayed it’s crazy he came up with a backstory too

[@gaysonorthotdaughta]

aw, it was like you were raised with it! i remember first finding fnaf in 2016 (when rumors of sister location were around). as a giant fan of creepy stuff, robots, and animals… a videogame about creepy robot animals seemed like a miracle sent from heaven for my 8 year old self. i never played any of the games, (except for security breach which i enjoyed SO much despite it’s reputation) but i definitely lingered in the community since that year. i’m proud to say i was one of those kids who literally fangirled over foxy, made my own “fnaf show stage” out of a cardboard box, and i always loved roleplaying as the security guard on the playground with friends. im in highschool as of now, and i will always have a special place in my heart for the fnaf series. so yes! although i thought i finally grew out of the fandom, here i am ranting about it all over again :’)

[@bamstrz]

@@gaysonorthotdaughta I was 6 when FNAF was released. Me and my cousin, who I grew up playing console games and a variety of video games with, went crazy. I watched a shit ton of gameplays, fell into the illimitable world of theories and lore enthusiasts, and even discovered the many fan music works. It did scare me a bit.. Since I was a little kid. I used to be afraid of my teddy bear that usually sat on the top shelf of my open closet. But honestly, that feeling was the most fun I had as a kid. Growing up around parents that weren't always around and not very many friends due to my differences from other kids (autism), it was a comforting thing to get into. I genuinely think FNAF is a special interest of mine, and has been since I was so little. I've played FNAF 1, FNAF 2, FNAF 3, a bit of FNAF 4, FNAF AR, Ultimate Custom Night, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator but not SL, Help Wanted or Security Breach (though I've watched many MANY gameplays and pretty much know how to play them). I used to do FNAF RPs on Minecraft and ROBLOX too! I've been a nerd for the lore and the history for so long. Even with Scott not developing FNAF games anymore, he's still always to thank.

I still remember the day Markiplier played this. I was 14 years old. I fell in love with the games almost immediately. I started to lose interest around the time sister location came out and moved onto other interests. I'm 23 now. I just got back into it before the movie comes out later this year. It's insane to see how much it's grown, to see how much more lore has been added. It's insane to me it's slowly getting close to being ten fucking years old.

[@LunaticTrumpet]

Same I had just turned 14 when Markiplier uploaded his let’s play of FNAF 1. When I first saw FNAF it made me have trouble sleeping. That stuck with me and the lore sucked me into the series. I remember making fan art of the characters and talking about the games with friends in class.

My Girlfriend and I started watching some Markiplier videos to pass the time and we just finished watching his Security Breach videos. I'd only ever heard of FNAF before, but after watching that series, I was hooked. There was very clearly a lot more there than simply just an open world horror game and I loved that. I quickly found your channel after trying to understand what really happened in that game and now I'm finding this. Great video, this really sums up my suspicions in that this is all started as a small indy game that blew up and while the game play isn't exactly triple A, the story telling more than makes up for it. Knowing the history now makes the games that much richer.

[@HyperDroid]

[@arminnurkovic836]

Wait what happened to him? Can anyone explain pls. ^^

[@LangkeeLongkee]

@@ShuTheIdiot Thats a gross misrepresentation of what happened and you know that. What happened was he did not just vote, he donated thousands of dollars to political figures that wanted to push anti LGBT legislation and FNAF has always had a huge LGBT fanbase. For what particular reason? I do not know, Sonic also has a huge LGBT fanbase though nothing in early sonic was overtly LGBT. And when he was called out about he still danced around whether or not he thought LGBT people deserved our rights with "he's a Christian" and blah blah blah. Personally I was not hurt because I stopped caring about FNAF very early on and certainly never cared abot Scott but people are perfectly valid in being upset by that. How dare people of a marginalized group be upset that they supported someone financially and literally built his empire only for him to turn around and use that money to directly harm them. Shame on them. 🙄

Great writeup. I haven't played a single FNAF game (not my kind of game), but I'm entranced by the lore and now I know essentially the whole story though other videos. This is a great supplement to all those by providing a little more historical context. If lore is the frosting, this is the cake. Good work.

[@UseMoreLensFlare]

Also it's so wild that people thought that Springtrap in the FNAF 3 teaser images was Golden Freddie. It doesn't look like a bear at all. It very clearly looks like a rabbit in the reversed/high contrast image. It really shows that people want to connect the dots with minimal information right away, without thinking that there's any possibility that it's new, and they really don't know what's coming next. It's just like when Marill showed up in media pre-GSC and fans came up with ways to evolve Pikachu into "Pikablu."

[@UseMoreLensFlare]

Also I don't know who is at 1:21:50, but he sucks. Also, Scott also sucks, having donated to the political campaigns of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. He's potentially worse than the Harry Potter author.

FNAF has been in my life since 2016 and I loved this series ever since. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since it’s inception and I can’t wait for this series grow even more than it already is! Thank you FNAF, thank you for being in my childhood. ❤️

[@SpitefulPixieee]

The absolute nostalgia in that first minute. I had just graduated high school when fnaf came out, and now im pushing 30 and my little niece whom i have shared my love of fnaf with is 13. This was a nice walk down memory lane for me!

[@KingChiggy]

I think the coolest thing about FNAF will always be how involved the community is with the state of the games and the franchise in general. I dont think there has been another successful massive game franchise in history where the creator worked so closely with the community and actually responded to feedback in such a positive way. You'll never look at something like Halo or Pokemon and see a part of their franchise history revolving around youtubers.

[@quirkyviper]

I know this wasn't a lore video but it actually cleared up a few questions I had! Aww, what a legacy!

[@nick_ath_]

I’m so proud of you johnny. The video is incredible and it shows how much you care for this franchise alongside its community

FNAF and Markiplier literally saved my family. 2014 and early 2015 were hell for us. My dad had stage 4 cancer and was rapidly declining and passed in January of 2015. My family basically crumbled after that. My mom, sister, and I barely spoke to each other despite living in the same house. We just sort of existed in a fog of depression. My mom basically just worked and slept. I was in college and worked part time and threw myself completely into those without really doing anything else. Well, my sister happened to come across Mark's FNAF videos not long before the 3rd game came out and made me watch them with her. It was just enough to pull me out of my funk and start actually interacting with my family again. My sister and I got closer than we had literally ever been before and gradually we were able to start pulling my mom out of her haze as well.

U can already see how much hard work and effort that went into this and it was all worth it, It was absolutely a masterpiece and entertaining to watch, we are all proud of you man. I've been with community since 2014 and It was really great to look back at the 8 years history of FNAF.

[@bsutter04]

Well worth the wait and delay. This was really well thought out and I enjoyed every second of it. Keep up the amazing videos and I look forward to what FNAF has in store for us in the future!

[@xMimikyuuu]

Oh god that little intro literally brought tears to my eyes, I've been following FNAF since it started and I just can't explain how deeply I love it, thank you for making this monster of a video as a huge homage to these games ❤

[@toomuchmate]

This is actually kinda emotional, fnaf was my childhood and if I showed my younger self Security Breach I’d think it’s fake. Love this

[@thelazygamer2195]

The nostalgia of this video is REAL! I was so excited to see this man!

[@gaberobison680]

This is one of the best recaps I’ve seen. I enjoy the effort to actually tell the story as a narrative and not just a bunch of bullet points

[@ohsugarsnapsx]

this video was so amazing, totally worth the wait! you can really tell how much love and work was put into this, and it was such a nice time reliving these big moments in the fandom, it really makes me remember just why i love this franchise so much

[@menacingpotatoleaf]

I almost cried watching the end. I've been running with this franchise since I was 11 in Markiplier's first video on it. Now I'm 19 and engaged, it feels like Five Nights At Freddy's has been with me my entire life. I've had a very horrible life sadly, and I could never thank Scott enough for giving child me something to look forward to for so many many years. I don't know if Scott will ever see this message but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing story, games, and memories you have given all of us.

[@LiaHaruki]

I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS VIDEO WASN’T 30MIN LONG BUT 1H AND 30MINS HOLY GREAT VIDEO:)

[@sagirasalutesyou8033]

Well done John. A well made video. Loved reliving our collective journey of this franchise with the KZbinrs that made it what it is today. 😻

[@barple367]

Man this entire summary of the last 8 years is really mind boggling to me. I remember being 12 when the first game dropped. watching CoryxKenshin flip out when he was playing it. Even today, it still feels like UCN released not too long ago despite being over 4 years ago. It's just so jarring to realize this game was around during all of my teenage years. Really brings back some memories seeing all of those teasers and hearing the bizarre theories of FNaF 3 of Golden Bonnie and "The Salvage". Great stuff, bro.

[@TheSecondBestOwen]

I love how objective this all is, it simply states what Scott put out there and everything beyond basic speculation is kept to a minimum, its nice to step back and simply look at things from a real standpointq

[@brookie_pooh]

Sobbing and screaming. Such an emotional and wonderful game series. If this truly ends the FNAF series, I'm glad to be a part of the community forever. Thank you John, and most importantly thank you Scott

[@jvcw2005]

I got unbelievably emotional while watching this. I would not be here if this game didn't exist, due to my mental and physical health. Best franchise ever made, I cannot wait for what the future holds ❤❤❤

[@averagefnaffan819]

This was just such an amazing video, bringing back all my old memories. Thank you! 😁

[@wuffleroo]

Gosh, the amount of work that went into this is insane. Really well presented, lovely summary

[@emdd14]

Five Nights at Freddy’s is and will always be in our hearts. I can’t wait to see what is next in the franchise. Happy Birthday Fnaf!!!!

[@Eliz_Creates]

This is such a nice nostalgic video… when fnaf 3 came out. I remember sitting in my room. I saw markiplier’s play through video recommended and gasping so loudly. I proceeded to run to my brother’s room and been like “FNAF 3 CAME OUT!!”. He was like “that’s gatta be fake, it isn’t supposed to come out yet” we went and watch it together in my small mini iPad and everything- good innocent times man

[@kinggbread]

This video has the exact passion for the games so many people have, myself included! Very well made and overall an amazing video!! its crazy to think about how much has happened within the span of 8 years, and more to come /pos

[@sierra6778]

Thank you for taking the time and care to make this video. this honestly recovered my hate that I had for the community and the newer games. thank you, very well done

[@fl4me_on]

*A LITTLE MESSAGE;* I honestly cried while watching this, it was so emotional going through the years of the FNAF Community. I'm very happy that Scott Cawfon made this game and the franchise, I'm sure people are grateful of the games and the hard work that Scott and his team has made. As I'm saying this in 3 days is the 9th Anniversary of the first Five Nights At Freddy's game, hope you guys are as happy as I am for the FNAF Community. -The FNAF Fan (Me)

[@klaitonyoung5707]

It always blows my mind to think that Scott was on the verge of giving up game development and has now shaped and built so many great memories for people to grow with over the 9 years it’s been a franchise. And just thinking about the fact it’s almost been a decade is absolute insanity, I remember watching matpats first game theory like it was yesterday.. just so many good memories man❤️

[@coles1773]

Five Nights At Freddys is just absolutely amazing. I’m looking forward to the future of the franchise! Thanks for spending so much time and effort on this video FuhNaff!

[@JSProductions02]

Video was so well made John! Alot of the moments made me feel so nostalgic and reminding me why i love FNAF in the first place! This video was incredible! Well done! So proud!

[@chaotic_mood]

I had only just barely turned 10 when FNAF one was released, but that game and it's gameplays got me through so much shit I was going through at home. I was there for every trailer, every theory and piece of fanart, comic dub, fan song, and every analyzed bit and piece of a teaser, and it was phenomenal. I grew up with FNAF, and it shaped my childhood, and got me through every bad moment. This video was such a nostalgia trip for me, thanks for making this video, gave me a nice case of whiplash. (In a good way)

[@AJAXinurface]

This is absolutely the best FNAF video I’ve seen in years after coming back to the community. I’ve been in the FNAF community for around 7 to 8 years. The memories I have about the FNAF community is watching Game Theory, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and especially Fusionzgamer. I’ve watched a lot of fnaf KZbinrs but I’m not gonna mention them all because I don’t want to fill this whole comment with KZbinrs I’ve watched. I remember being hyped for FNAF 6 and especially Sister Location. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing at that era but seeing this game evolve to one of the biggest horror games ever is crazy. I gladly thank Scott for making such an amazing horror franchise. Thank You Scott…

[@manofpasta75]

I didn't think this video would be anywhere near as amazing as it was, i loved seeing everything that has happened over this 8 year long journey and all the memories that this video has brought back. I seriously hope that this game series can keep moving in the right direction rather than take the same path other games take. thank you for this amazing video and experience that i will be sure to rewatch years from now.

[@Aracelex]

This video auto played after watching your new SB theories and I had no idea it was as long as it is. You kept me interested the whole time I didn't even notice how much time was passing!

[@Mitriscool]

This video was a roller coaster full of emotions So much nostalgia from this one franchise that wasn't supposed to happen This video was definitely worth the delays

[@sam_3rror238]

While I haven’t been a fan since 2014, I’ve been a fan since 2018! this game and the fandom has brightened my life so much, watching matpat videos and markiplier playthroughs. I can’t wait to finish this video, as I’m watching it while typing this. Here’s to 8 more years!

This was an absolutely phenomenal video. I can’t imagine how much time you put into gathering the information and editing all the clips but I can promise you that it did not go unnoticed. I’ve been following the franchise since the first game came out and yet here I am still learning new things.
