Unfortunately as long as FNAF is immortal so is MatPats insanity.

Tbh if fnaf kept going i wouldn’t be bothered. a lot of the lore is pretty interesting and it’s often very entertaining.

I love how devs like him even when their projects explode they still support fan projects and not do everything to try taking them down

A underrated game that Scott made was desolate hope and it was actually a really well put together game

How far has this franchise come man.. so nostalgic

How FNAF became immortal Markiplier: WAS THAT THE BITE OF *87!*

This franchise is on the same level of craziness and ridiculousness as Resident Evil and I absolutely love it.

I can't believe Jack Black just had a Glitchtrap mask lying around the house 💀

Fnaf has been with me for more than half my life, and I’ve always loved the vague and creative storytelling. There’s always something interesting to talk about, there’s always room for lore to be debated and discussed. And because the timeline and story is so vague, the community comes to many different conclusions and nobody knows what is right and what is not and I love that. There’s always fun to be had

In my opinion, the best part of the lore is the underlying tragedy of it all, and how sometimes that can be forgotten in the face of everything else. In FNAF, nobody gets a happy ending, just another nightmare perpetrated by those who have suffered and caused suffering.

This is basically the Golden age of fnaf in my opinion that’s why that make Fnaf so great all because all of Our Friend Scott

I imagine matpat will always come back to keep solving fnaf as long as fnaf is immortal

It would be funny if Scott completely contradicted all of the lore that theorists have theorized and then ditch the series

Good lord, this is great. Amazing editing. I would love to see more of this longer content!

If fnaf gose on for 10 more years I wouldn't really complain because this series is entertaining to me

If the fnaf franchise didn't exist, life would be unnecessary

Personally, I love Fnaf 3. That's my favorite game. I love its ambience, scenery of Fazbear's Fright as well as the fact that in this game there's only 1 threat - Springtrap. Springtrap's design is great too. In my opinion he has the best design in comparison to other animatronics. Additionally, Springtrap's smart and sneaky and sometimes it's easy to loose sign of him. Some people may disagree with me, but I actually like his jumpscare. I also think, it was a good idea that Fnaf 3 has Phantom animatronics that cause the system to malfuntion, so the player has to reboot it, which also gives Springtrap the perfect opportunity to either get close or closer to the office. Btw, wonderful video💓

What I love about Five Nights as with most loved genre projects, is that the developer actually listens and cares about the gamers and fans. I'm impressed with Scott and Company for working around simple cliche storyline and making it so off the wall that we just got more and more obsessed. And I love that!

It’s so sad to see Scott stepping down from the fang franchise after the movie but he did amazingly well

There was a girl's room in fnaf 4 so that could technically prove Afton had a daughter but then again we never saw her until sister location

Making a story ambiguous keeps people talking and interested. Scott said the story was still solvable though, and he knows how confused people are. Who knows.

Best franchise forever.

Now I love Security Breach but seeing again how well Help Wanted was building it up along with Special Delivery just makes me sad that there are so many chunks of SB that didn't get finished that we will probably never see.

If you ask me, Scott didn expect his game to blow up due to past failures, so that led him to scramble an make more stories that he now has no control of anymore. He probably doesn even know how he wants to end it, he may not even know how he wants certain things to connect (like the bite of '83 an '87). I enjoy the franchise but the newer games definitely strayed from the office horror that was so cool in 1-4 with the sprinkle of hell behind it.

It's the Final Fantasy of Horror Games. Literally meant to be the lass game made but became so big now it can leave gaming culture and started a way of new games.

feels like the franchise is still at float because it cultivated a fan base more interested in discovering the story than stop a think if that story is actually good

Say what you want about remnant, but I think it adds to the horror of fnaf. The children being stuck to the endoskeletons of the Animatronics is a terrifying thought to me. Imagine being stuck inside a metal shell... only being allowed to move at night. I'd be pretty angry too Also, I personally like Fnaf 3. Side note: I really hate the idea the Nightmare Animatronics use illusion discs. That's lame asf

The box is still unsolved and that is insane because the way the fnaf community is everything gets solved in like 1 month tops

I am so glad i started knowing fnaf since 2014 so many memories i made i miss them all

fnaf is honestly amazing i wish i was there when it was popular popular but now alot of people are playing games like poppy playtime, roblox, ect, i feel like fnaf should have way more attention again

I think that even If Official FNAF games stop being release, the fans will keep trying to make their own versión of the story or their own universe with fanf games, cómics, songs, etc. FNAF is like a Western Touhou, where fans make a lot of works based on the original source and keep it alive without playing the og games.

Team fortress 2 = Five nights at Freddy's Two immortal franchises with great gameplay and awesome lore

FNAF is essentially the horror genre's equivalent of Kingdom Hearts. It sucked its fans in with its mascots and lore questions, when they were young, and now they're on Mr. Cawthon's crazy thrill ride, until either they or this franchise meets its ultimate end. And so long as there's new lore to discover, it's not unlikely that the franchise will outlast its fans.

I really do hope that for FNAF's 10th anniversary Scott goes back and remasteres the original 7 games.

ive not got near as much nostalgia towards this game series as many others as I was absolutely terrified of it and never wanted anything to do with it when it first came out lmao(i just like watching long documentary style videos on various topics lol). honestly though it really fascinates me how someone just created this entire storyline of plot holes, lore etc out of some chuck e cheese type characters which now has a huge and still growing fanbase. oh and the "no matter how many freddy's you five night" HAD ME ROLLING

FNaF is timeless to put it at that.

It will never be the same without Scott

I know it really doesn't matter, but Help Wanted and Security Breach are FNaF 8 and 9, not 7 and 8. Ultimate Custom Night is FNaF7. This is easily backed up by file names such as teaser image file names and certain internal namings for SB being FNaF9.

The thing you missed with TFTPP is that the attractions in the books were removed before SB because tragedies accrued within them and they shut down

The legendary quote “No matter how many Freddy’s you five night”

Y’know, the fact that people had to argue for so long about how many souls were in golden Freddy is wild with the two eyes bit in the 3rd game. Lore wise it always felt obvious after seeing that screen that golden Freddy had 2 spirits, the only question was which 2 spirits

28:45 its devoid of lore, but it created a clean sheet of lore to add to, introducing a character with missed potential, gregory, he couldve been done much better if they had just taken there time, the consumers wouldnt have mind another delay

If William Afton can't die, neither can FNAF. BTW, I think you should've explained exactly how one of Scott Cawthon's game inspired him to create FNAF in the first place.

someday i will be old and grey and be watching these videos for comforting entertainment as I slowly rot in a mossy dark musty old room at a retirement center, I spend my days trying to finnally solve all of this, despite having Scotts full explanation of the lote because I refuse to believe thats what the story contained originally when I was a kid. I can barely reach for my protein without help anymore and it's too rainy for my family to stop by and say hi and update me on the outside world, but this timeline brings me comfort in this hour a terror, I haven't spoken to a human that talks of anything but trends and memes, and this franchise brings me peace in this hour as the nurses forget to bring me my melatonin tonight.

Bro love your content keep making good stuff

What a fantastic video. You've got a new subscriber. I wish you a great day from Germany! Man, Five Nights at Freddy's truly is my childhood

Super awesome video. I really enjoyed it.

Fnaf always comes back

FNAF is iconic. It is an awesome idea, and although I don’t like ALL of the the lore, I still enjoy the series as a whole. My favorite was Security Breach, for breaking the mold in both game play and theme. The ‘80s throwback theme (especially in the music), Freddy as our ally and with a gently giant “Optimus Prime” charm was a really nice touch. Instead of a dark and dirty environment (for the most part), the place slapped of a Paul Verhoeven futuristic runaway corporate dystopia. Not much of a fan of Ruin, but it had its moments such as with my favorite character Roxanne Wolf, and I hope the series can continue from that story and answer questions about Cassie, Gregory, and perhaps a return of our Papa Bear who is a kind protector and guide to us.

Even if it did die, they said it themselves. “I always come back”

Yes thanks I love your videos❤

I hope FNAF never dies

"Appleton." Amazing.

i remember playing fnaf 2 when i was 4 and now i am 12 it was so nostaligic

Me and my bud, Ther-Bear (yes, I called him that even before knowing he liked FNAF, call me clairvoyant is you like!) can’t wait to see the new film!

Thank you Scott for bringing to our lives such great franchise 👏👏😎

great video - amazing edits

Makes me sad knowing that Fnaf was only supposed to be at least 5 to 3 games now in Fnaf world one of the endings where the man says says he can’t, and what he created so that’s the moment Fnaf became the immortal franchise so I can’t die now

2:01 and next thing, you know your counting Freddys toes💀

Ah yes the his famous catchphrase I always return unexpectedly

Fnaf will never ever die. It’s a franchise that will keep going, Scott made a really good choice

While I’ll admit FNAF has its flaws, I still love it as a whole. I still sometimes think FNAF UCN should have been the last game in the FNAF franchise, because it would have ended with its classic gameplay, and gave a proper ending to William as a villain. Seeing FNAF now, it’s gotten pretty interesting. Sure it made the lore a little more complex, but it’s pretty neat at the same time. While there are people like TheftKing, who are the prime example of what the FNAF community isn’t about, we have FuhNaff, ID’s Fantasy, RyeToast, and other small FNAF content creators that have been a positive influence to the fandom. Help Wanted was a neat way to revive FNAF, and gave us the next generation of FNAF, by using its old gameplay mechanics, but done in VR. Not only was it cool, it was also interesting. Then we got FNAF AR (rest in peace), that gave us FNAF at our hand held devices, and overtime, we got the first official FNAF game that’s free roam. While people will argue Fnaf’s golden age was better, and even I will admit that, but the style of Fnaf’s old gameplay would get old overtime, so introducing a newer generation with new mechanics, as well as the older generation, isn’t a bad thing. Overall, I’d give FNAF a B-, it is t perfect, but it’s done enough to where I still stay hooked to it. To say it won’t die is a bit of a stretch. I’m sure at some point, Scott and Steel Wool will officially end the franchise, and either create a similar franchise to Fnaf, or have a brand new game series with new characters, with no references or callbacks to the original franchise. Either way, I’m excited for Help Wanted 2, and the FNAF Movie. 😀👍

The intro💀💀

9:26 I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT I GOT CHILLS FROM THIS.

*"scott always comes back..."*

Me back then: aw man no one’s gonna like my fnaf story it’s too out there and doesn’t fit the franchise The official fnaf: okay so time travel ballpits and male pregnant with springtrap and robot children

this keeps geting good

Just like it’s main villain Fnaf will always come back

Isn't it ironic fnaf security breach was 80s themed? Even after all those events that happened in the 80s?

was not expecting a lore video but im not complaining

Correction: The FNaF movie is coming out in almost two months (Which is also coming out on the same day as my birthday)

Society if the bite of 83 was The Bite of 87: 👌

this was a great video

because just when you think the hipe of the franchise has died down it comes back it always comes back

fnaf will die sometime in the near future, but we know it will always come back.

This perfectly sums up the lore

27:46 Can we actually get a video on that? That'd be awesome! Also this video was great, keep it up!

Last Time I Checked The Channel Is 20K Last Year But Now As 20 Year Old I Decided To Recheck The Channel It Was Whopping 146K Subscribers! Can't Believe You've Grown So Much!

I like to consider the fnaf lore ever since help wanted as an unofficial soft reboot with he lore pre help wanted being the of lore and story and the new added lore being the lore to the new story

Oh boy! I sure do hope this video ages well! (This is worded in such a way that if this video doesn't age well, it fits.)

Thank you Scott I wouldn’t be here without you

You could say, it always comes back

Amazing!! I agree

31:11 Speaking of which, there's already footage of the Help Wanted 2 coming out soon.

I feel like with Scott retiring the games may go down in quality as time passes, but we don’t know if Scott will either help with the games like he did security breach or eventually stop working on them.

Matpat: yes?? Keep talking...

I loved the 8 bit mini games bro it gave so lore

I love your vids bro

We just simply love the memories and missed the feels...

imagine dyeing and all you hear is shadow Bonnies lullaby instead of seeing your life flash by

Thanks Scott you done a lot so long. 9 years ago fnaf came out it was fun we will miss you

i guess you can say it always comes back

I really hope this is a teaser for the crazy things that happen for the 10th anniversary next year

ITS NOT THE BITE OF '87 ITS THE BITE OF '83

When I first saw fnaf I knew it was a game but I never got around to playing any of them till fnaf 4. I was a lot younger and I would run to my room very fast because I was always scared of Bonnie

Me 1 week ago: Maybe I'll finally try this fnaf thing. Me Now: Oh god, what have I gotten myself into. Me next week: My brain can no longer function.

The early storytelling of FNAF was so captivating. The first three games were amazing and a solid package that we didn't need to add to. The first six games were still fun, though I didn't like all of the lore of Sister Location, these games had a good ending that didn't leave tons of questions or confusion. It could have actually given us closure. After that? Honestly, I think Scott should have let FNAF rest and made other titles. I enjoyed the books, especially the Fazbear Frights series, but I don't enjoy any of the books being directly connected to the games in any way, they should just be a goofy thing on their own. I'm excited for the movie, too, it looks like it might actually stick to the vibes of Old FNAF. But I do think the games and the "main story" of the games should have ended with UCN... at the latest. I also wish that the spin-offs and remakes could go without the ridiculous lore additions... anyway, GREAT video!

Just like William afton fnaf will always come back

excellent video
