I think the Golden Freddy cutscene is like "How do you keep winning" since you need to beat a lot of nights to get 9800 points, it's gotta be infuriating for the vengeful spirit to keep losing.

[@migmogthekittycat]

I know this game was meant to be 'goofy', but Old Man Consequences is the scariest moment of the series, hands down. There is something bone chilling about that part - 'leave the demon to his demons. There is nothing else.' It's terrifying and heartbreaking in equal measure.

[@sptflcrw8583]

It’s not really scary as much as it is unsettling

*sigh*, it seems that you have met a horrible demise, my friend. But uh, you know, these...these things happen and...and life...life goes on. N-not for you, obviously, uh, you're dead, but uh, it reminds me of a time I was having a conversation with my friend Orville. We were, uh, where were we? We were by the...the river, we were sitting by the river and watching the fish leap over the falls and uh, I said to Orville "You know, sometimes I feel like a fish leaping over and over again, always trying to get somewhere. Though, I don't know where, only to find myself in the jaws of a beast." He, of course, looked at me surprised, you know? "Have you been in the jaws of a beast, friend?" To which I said, "No, of course not Orville". I said, 'No no no, I...I simply meant that life can seem like a relentless endeavor to overcome meaningless obstacles, only to meet an equally meaningless fate regardless of your efforts, regardless of the obstacles you've passed. And, uh, Orville he...he stood and proceeded to drape me with a picnic cloth, to which I...I asked him, I said, "Friend, what...what are ya doin?" He looked at me very concerned really. "I feel like you've gotten too much sun". Indeed, heh, indeed I had. He proceeded to pour me a glass of just...ice cold lemonade. Ooh, you ever mix it with iced tea? Ya do, like...half lemonade ha...ooh, you should try it so--well, you can't, because you're dead, but, anyways, so you may be asking yourself, "How did I go from sitting by the falls and drinking lemonade to being wedged in the air duct, not only with Orville, but with an entire assortment of fruity-colored friends?" Well, there's uh...there's really no good answer to that, but...perhaps I met a demise of my own at some point and...this is my afterlife or my dream, whatever it might mean, I...I honestly don't know. Or...maybe it doesn't mean anything at all. Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all...

[@ephemeraldream73]

Yeah, I see it as it never being able to let go of the hate, despite what old man suggests. This would make the story even more tragic, since it would mean William's soul is never let go of so he can die for good, which is perhaps what allowed him to be eventually resurrected in the newer games. All because the vengeful spirit was too blinded to let him die.

In my opinion this is the FNAFs equivalent to Dooms Plutonia Experiment. It’s a game where it’s less about the story and the seriousness but more about the skill involved being the main center of the gameplay a game built for the most extreme fans who thought any of the Blank/20 modes were too easy. And I gotta say I respect Scott for making the game borderline impossible it’s a good play on his part I respect it. Also Mr.Hippo is a god tier developer troll and I love Scott for putting it in it’s a good burn for dying one of the easiest enemy’s in the game.

[@thewrathofrevan5999]

As much as I did enjoy the retrospective for this one, I'll have to agree that maybe the sped-up montage of all the enemies in the game was a bit taxing. If this video could be done differently, I probably would have suggested that either the notable aspects of gameplay get mentioned, like changes from older characters that introduce new elements, or just speed up the montage faster and faster as a joke to ply that there's so much to go through. Otherwise, this was a really solid ending to an era of FNAF retrospectives. Looking forward to Containment Breach, loved that game.

I wonder of the themes of "This is Hell" in this game is a reference to FNAF 1, where one of the first theories of what was going on was that you were in hell, being punished for killing the first 5 children.

[@brandongordon4019]

Man, this whole series has been a crazy walk through memory lane. I remember getting into everything as soon as the second game's teasers. My favorite will always be the first game because that game just had the most charm to it. The many many secret screens, and character design and overall just creepiness and mystery wasn't ever met again in the series. While other games excelled in certain aspects, none of them got the perfect balance in my eyes. I've been wanting to go back for a long while now and recompile everything about the whole series in like a KZbin playlist or something just to look back on and this is a good inspiration for that. This series was like an appetizer to the whole deep delve I've been meaning to get into

This whole series has been really good, and very fun to watch! I got into FNAF when it came out, while I was fresh out of high school, and I’m now in my mid-twenties. It’s surreal to think this series has been here for such a big chunk of my life when it started as one simple little horror game. Thank you for these well-written and informative videos! They’ve made it much easier for me to revisit the series and look back at how far it’s come. And to soapbox for a moment- The ending segment of this video made me nostalgic for those earlier days of the fandom. A convention I went to (god, does anyone remember those?) had a FNAF tent set up in the game room with a computer loaded up with 1-3, and a projector projecting the gameplay onto the outside of the tent. People could sit outside and watch the player’s struggles, and youd hear screams echoing thru the hall every time they died, haha. A Puppet cosplayer and a fully suited Bonnie cosplayer would swing by every few minutes to stand ominously behind the player inside the tent, so if they turned to ask their friend something they’d get the shit scared out of them LMAO. It was legitimately a lot of fun to play with an audience, and to /be/ a part of an audience in a setting like that, and I think that’s my fondest memory of the series as a whole- playing FNAF with a Puppet hovering behind me in this little corner of a bustling convention. I sat there giving tips to newer players who stepped in (that I’d memorized from watching others play, lol) and watching with awe as veterans stepped up and owned it. The series has always been very easy to get into on a surface level, and that ease of access made the dark lore and deeper secrets all the more enticing, I feel, especially when everything was new and exciting! But I’ve rambled enough, lol. Thank you for reminding me why I love this series and this community. I’ll be looking forward to your next upload, whatever it may be :>

[@georginabarras7936]

Loved this series so much, I’ve genuinely watched each of these videos more times than I could count. The living tombstone piano cover somehow even got me a lil emotional there. Super looking forward to what you make in the future !!

[@jude8175]

thank you so much for this incredible series, i'm sad to see it go but it's been so good to see it happen in real time. i'm also glad you brought up the problems with the artists scott has hired because i feel like it's a problem rarely addressed by the community, though hopefully one day that'll change. just thank you for covering everything that you could with this series, i'm excited for more stuff from you in the future and i'll gladly binge this series over and over and over again... forever

[@somenerd710]

Fury’s rage retrospective when?

[@raelogan]

I came to your channel for the Crow 64 information, and honestly stayed when I saw the backlog of creepypasta and creepy game videos, so it's been great to watch your retrospectives when they came out.

[@trick1172]

This series was amazing. I loved every bit of it. Can't wait to see what else you bring in the future!

[@spacegnome2476]

I have absolutely LOVED THESE. Please continue doing retrospectives like this for horror games. You have an amazing style and intruiging way to catch viewers attention.

[@mischiefnight7516]

Man, what a series Thanks to you and many other people for actually getting me back into the series as a whole after a few years I didn't even know about most of the series after 2 until now

[@fievelmouser8682]

Like an hour ago, I was looking for your channel. Thanks for uploading! Lol

[@deeeenisttv]

For me ucn is the best fnaf game. Yes it doesn't really deliver on the story or horror aspects but the gameplay aspect is so well delivered that it shoots it up to number 1 for me. As of right now I have 100 hours in the game

[@CGKey]

Thank you for this series Sagan. The first video I found from you was a the FNAF 3 Retrospect, and I've been a subscriber ever since. Your content is truly amazing and I hope you keep getting the success you're experiencing right now. I'd love yo watch your retrospect on the novels, but in the meantime, your Creepy Files have been great to listen to while I work. Good stuff all around.

[@megan1785]

i've loved these videos so much!! particularly admire that you actually follow up on stuff when you say "we'll talk about that later" haha, these vids are SO well-structured

[@raidenvakarian9362]

I've loved these retrospectives so far, so it pains me to critique one of them, but wasting 10 minutes of a 30-minute video on reading a Steam walkthrough which is so sped up that it's nearly impossible to absorb any of that information was not a good call.

[@michaelburleson2687]

Yeah seemed like an unfunny joke that should’ve been scrapped

[@thewrathofrevan5999]

Makes me wonder if some of that space could've been used for more in-depth highlights of new mechanics, as well as talking about other features like Mr Hippo's whole schtick.

[@ripwitch9833]

Yep totally agree

[@LunaWitcher]

I mean, these videos have a formula to them. He was just being consistent. He has explained the mechanics of the animatronics in past retrospectives.

[@leedlelel2373]

Yeah, he shouldve at least in all seriousness talked about the mechanics of the important ones

[@8johh]

HYPEDDDDDDDDDD been here since the first retrospective

[@objectiveobscene]

thank you so much for this series, it's so nice to see a game ive loved since its release be explained in depth. this has helped me through some extremely tough times. i love your work.

[@cube6842]

Thank you for making these videos it’s been fun! I’ll probably rewatch these in the future so long

[@worldssynchronized370]

I don’t want to add fuel to the fire since I like matpat but I just want to say this old phrase “no one likes a know it all” so god forbid he gets something wrong and everyone is on his case like they never got stiff wrong Keep pushing on Mr Hawks I look forward to what you have in store

[@bluesoda6379]

I mean, i thought everyone was aware the "know it all" persona was just that, a persona. I thought people just disliked the fact that some theories we're a bit outlandish. Now i understand the why a bit better, but still doesn't excuse the overblowm hate he sometimes get imo.

[@nocturnalnyxxx]

IMO this game was where the story ended and the vr story and ar app lore leading to sb never happened, this feels like a more proper ending

[@afaxmachine5045]

Honestly better to separate the two stories. Fnaf 1-6 and the new ones.

[@codyhoward7640]

Wonderful series Sagan. Was a highlight of my feed whenever it came up. Excited to see what you do next.

[@aphantomthief1416]

I love this series so much! Thank you for making them, I really enjoyed it^^

[@Impalingthorn]

Genuine criticism: I would have loved to just hear the full Gameplay section instead of the sped up dialogue we got. I like listening to your stuff while I work and in the midst of that, it just became a bunch of unintelligible jargon that went on for way too long.

[@casperaaron5530]

Yes. It annoys the hell out of me. If it’s a joke, end it in a few seconds. If it’s not, let us actually listen to it

[@chazcliffhanger8744]

You can still hear and understand it. Maybe make the video speed lower

[@casperaaron5530]

@@chazcliffhanger8744 I can’t understand it, actually. And changing the video speed is annoying. If he wanted us to listen to it, he should have had it at normal speed like he did in the combo version of the series

[@Impalingthorn]

@@chazcliffhanger8744 I largely can't because I have these videos playing while I am at work doing other things. For one, I have to wear rubber gloves because I'm working with contaminated materials. But the other thing is I use Brave, and their App's version of KZbin isn't as fancy so even if I wanted to it's not the same as playing it off a PC.

[@Cyynapse]

as an artist i like the art in the game, although i def agree it doesnt fit. i dont blame scott tho hes like 50 he doesnt know this shit 10 years ago man was making robot abortion games and jesus bible quest hes a wholesome dad

[@MiggetyMattR]

ayy i follow you on twitter

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

I think it's decent. It's not really supposed to be good. It's a quasi-furry horror series for casual players. This guy in the video pushes his stupid politics and drama, though.

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

@@kaz-um5gr 1. Accusing people of being """transphobes,""" as if enabling a mental illness is a good thing. 2. Politics is the relations of people with each other. Using his newfound clout to demonize and defame people he doesn't like is a form of politicking.

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

@@kaz-um5gr No one can be "cancelled." It's very easy to ignore 14-year-olds with family issues. The video further attacks someone who as you say has already been targeted. That's even worse.

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

@@kaz-um5gr Yes, you did. You just said he was cancelled in the past for his beliefs. Doing what? Not enabling a mental illness? Oh, no. How horrible. Please let more people slowly kill themselves.

[@pixx3461]

Great work. These retrospectives helped spark my dive back into the FNaF fandom. I've always considered myself a fan, since the very beginning of the series, but I kinda moved on from the series after Sister Location, and stopped actively following it. But now I'm back! And it's wonderful. I've been playing Help Wanted, and I love it. Probably gonna be replaying Pizzeria Simulator and UCN soon. It's sad to see this retrospective series go for now, but it's been amazing. Thank you.

[@Crystal_959]

William being the player of UCN has basically been confirmed through the Fazbear Frights books, where Golden Freddy’s equivalent holds William back and tortures him instead of letting him die and pass on in pretty much the exact same manner as UCN. But it’s not hell, it’s some never ending nightmare, like several characters say in the game itself. Because of this, this is pretty much how he gets into Help Wanted. _Because_ Golden Freddy chose to stick behind and get the last laugh, William’s soul was still around to get scanned out. Maybe that’s what the final Golden Freddy cutscene was. William being taken away and Golden Freddy left there, still angry, still not satisfied.

[@lonegalaxy9158]

It's been incredible to see this series grow and evolve its whole way through, and I think its magnificent how its ended.

[@rielmarqz]

That’s one hell of an ending, Sagan. Congratulations on the series!

[@winterruwu]

Thank you so much for this series. This was a wonderful take back to one of my favorite game series and a look back at my childhood. Thanks so much for your amazing effort put into this, I can't thank you enough

[@thecrusader3604]

this series singlehandedly introduced you to me and made you one of my favorite youtubers today, and i only hopped on shortly before the 4th retrospective came out

[@isaacfoley6728]

This feels like the end of a saga

[@shinymk6562]

YES! I absolutely love this retrospective series so its bittersweet to see it end. (Unless you review help wanted in a few years lol)

[@chillyis9333]

This has been one of my favorite fnaf series type things and I would just like to thank you for the amazing work you have done

[@fluffcake]

Had a blast, this whole series was really good. You really did outdo yourself this time!
