FNAF 2 Is Officially a Prequel

[Ajax]

Even though some of the dialogue doesn't make sense, such as the phone guy saying to forget about the old place in Night 1, it's officially a prequel. The check is dated as 1987, the year of the bite, and the check is a lower amount. During Night 6 I believe, the phone guy mentions they're closing due to the bite (The bite of 1987) After completing Night 6, they also mention that they scrapped the new animatronics in case of malfunctions, and kept the old ones in case they decide to reopen (Leading to FNAF 1) The phone guy also mentions he is planning to work the night shift in the future, and is the same phone guy you hear in FNAF 1.

So can everyone just stop the debate? All the facts lead to it being a prequel.

1) A few logs hint at the game being a prequel to the first game such as; The first game mentions in the first call “They used to be allowed to walk around during the day, but not anymore.” and in the second game it says “They are allowed to roam around even during the day” among other hints in the calls.

2) None of the animatronics look anything like the first game, almost as if concepts of designs were taken and made less scary to be more kid friendly.

3) The owners in the first game are cheap, as if they are having to save money due to having spent too much money.

4) You get more money in your paycheck in your first game than in the second, like inflation would cost your minimum wage to go up.

5) The check in the second game has the date of 11-12-87 on it. The first game mentions the “bite of ‘87” and the second game makes no mention of the bite of ‘87, so the bite must have happened during or after the events of the second game.

6) The first call in the second game mentions that the “old” animatronics were being retrofitted with SOME of the new animatronic software. Not necessarily all of it.

7) The calls mention the name of the old DINER (not pizzeria) called something like Fazbear’s Family Diner.

8) The morning shift suddenly becomes open and the phone guy SAYS he will “probably take the night shift himself”. The first game starts with him explaining that “I used to be the night guard before you, but this is my last week.”, also explaining how he was still alive until night 4 of the first game in which he is then killed.

9) A call mentions that someone has stolen a golden Freddy outfit. Also, the cops are beginning an investigation by night 4/5.

10) The animatronics in the first game were not phased by flashing lights yet the new ones apparently are as a shut off protocol.

11) Cut scenes show the first game’s animatronics and the Chica you see looks nothing like the “old” one.

Story being pieced together:

The story begins as you are now working to guard this new Pizzeria in 1987. You watch the animatronics and attempt to survive as things begin to transpire in the morning. By night 3 or 4 someone has stolen a yellow Freddy suit. As in the lore of the first game, this may mean the morning employee has taken the suit to lure kids into the back closet to kill them.

By night 6, the morning shift is open and you are asked to work it for a birthday party if you are able to make it through night 6. The phone guy then takes over while you work the next morning until the business is then shut down for a time. Upon returning, the phone guy takes the night shift and is killed on night 4 of his shift. The first game’s events then transpire where Mike learns about some of these things but is then fired due to “tampering”.
Speculation:

-The first guard employee took the suit and began killing/kidnapping children after asking to be moved to the morning shift.

-The bite of ‘87 wasn’t a child, but the employee who attempted to steal a 6th child but was stopped in his attempt by an animatronic who had earlier in the week seen him take a child and in response, due to being connected to the criminal database, bit off his frontal lobe to protect the children.

-The animatronics were upgraded and new exoskeletons made in their design as an attempt to replace the cute animatronics, which were confiscated for the police to investigate the deaths and missing children.

-The company by the first game is now in a lot of debt to pay for getting the new exoskeletons, dealing with police, paying the families of the dead children, etc. and must save power and money to keep running at this point.

-The building was refitted with doors and some areas torn down or replaced in the time the place was closed for investigation to prevent future disaster involving employee death.

-The reason the phone guy is afraid of the old animatronics is that the old business they were in had been closed for some time DUE to incidents involving the animatronics becoming hostile or malfunctioning due to the time being when animatronics were first being made and tested.

-The tampering done in the first game may have been done by the marionette, who seems to have some influence on the events of the first game due to cut scenes then revealing he was there.

-The marionette took the souls of children and put them in the first game’s suits, thus “giving life” as in the mini game does.
This is what I have gathered with my friend after closely examining the logs and story of both the games.

Some people are unable to comprehend the above fact and can't piece together the story and due to that they call it a sequel. They also nitpick the SMALLEST of facts to prove it is not. There are holes in every fact and theory, some left by mistake. The base which are the 10 + facts to prove its a prequel is already provided by Scott. How it fits into the story is for YOU to theorise. Just because our theories might not make sense does not mean the base is false. If you don't know how to solve a question does not mean the question is false. Same thing applies to this. Facts are there, accept it and move on.

All the facts leading to FNAF 3. Good job, maybe we can get an action game where you fight those mother f*ckers instead of just sitting in an office and waiting for them to kill you. FNAF 3 Plot, the animatronics become fully possesed and go on a killing spree on the kids and their parents, and the day guard, you, and fight those no-good robots for the good of mankind.

Scott is most likely working on the mobile version of FNAF 2 now. He'll probably take a few months break then start working on FNAF 3

I dont think its a prequel because u have all the old dismantled robots in the parts and servercies the phone guy sounds like he was killed by golden freddy and the fact that he says I want u to forget anything about the old place that u heard and all the old bots are used for parts its a SEQUEL not a PREQUEL

Phone guy was killed in FNAF 1, not 2.
There are 3 places: Fredbear's Diner ===> FNAF 2's place ===> FNAF 1's place
The old animatronics were first used in the diner. They then decided to make them more kid friendly by buying new ones and shifting to FNAF 2's venue. (something happened there hence why they decided to do so) They scrapped the old one for parts. Forgot everything about the DINER, not FNAF 1's place.

[❖Carnage]

Everyone, there are 3 PLACES, NOT 2.
Fredbear's Diner ===> FNAF 2's Place ===> FNAF 1's Place
This is what confuses most people and makes them think its a sequel. It's not.

You are forgetting the "old" animatronic system. Also, Phone Guy runs through things on the first night like "The whole place cannot run out of power" and "No doors" which are all things that the first game had different about it. There is evidence that points to both sides. Also the grand RE opening. FNAF 1 mentions nothing about it being the 3rd opening, or even being closed at all.

it's not official untill the dev comfirms it...i don't know why people care so much everyone either acts smug as all hell saying it's a prequel like they discovered a historical secret that changes the world or they either post waiting for a conformation and show their evidence. (both sides do have strong reasons) I see zero post about things about the game and most are just people yelling how they've figured out it's a prequel stating the same facts as the last 3 threads. Vice versa. Honestly it doesn't matter, it doesn't change the game at all i mean it's about robots trying to eat you.

You are forgetting one thing. If it is true FNAF 2 is a prequel (which it is), the statement from Fazbear Entertainment in the news article about the place closing from the bite on Night 6 mentions that they are hoping to re-open again on a smaller budget. In FNAF, you have to monitor power because that IS the place they re-opened with a smaller budget, and the reason why you can run out of power in the first place.

What old animatronic system? The old ones were first used in the Diner which has no game bfeore being replaced by the new ones. When he asks you to forget everything that you knew about the previous place, he is referencing to the diner. The first place, the diner, most likely had doors hence why he referenced that. (This is the more modern design compared to the Diner which was probably in 1960s to 1970s. They went back to the old design because they were bankrupt and the new design costs more money) Also, he didn't mention about power. So therefore, there is only evidence pointing to the fact that its a prequel.

It says grand reopening on the title, doesn't mention the pizzeria.
Think of it as a grand reopening of a FRANCHISE. There are 3 restaurants, Diner, FNAF 2's and FNAF 1's. Grand reopening of their franchise due to the first place, the diner, closing.

Scott won't confirm it. He already has by providing over 10+ facts that prove its a prequel. He doesn't put those in for fun. It is just like the missing children incident. Scott didn't confirm that but people believed it. Why? It had SOLID facts. (The newspapers in FNAF 1 show it and describe everything)

Exactly.

[❖Carnage]

Also, he already has provided over 10+ facts pointing to that its a prequel. He barely provided if there even is any facts to point to that its a sequel. Balance of probability plus I think 10 + facts is more than enough. I'm sure he doesn't need to write in large big black and white text that says "HEY EVERYONE THIS IS A PREQUEL IS THIS OBVIOUS ENOUGH NOW I PUT IN 10+ FACTS BUT SOME PEOPLE STILL THINK ITS A SEQUEL FACEDESK"

people who think this is a prequel are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiots your only basing ♥♥♥♥ of not even half the facts
