The fact that we've gotten to a point where people have to say "If UCN is to be trusted" shows just how much of a tangled mess the lore is at this point.
Watching this had made me realise how little of the mci children we actually know, Susie has her story and the minigame, Jeremy has that one line from Comedy Bot in Security Breach, Gabriel and Fritz get nothing, and Cassidy is debatable
Keep in mind I know it might be a theory but I don't think Jeremy Fitzgerald is casies father. Also, while I do believe cassies dad is in fact the person we play as in help wanted 2 and also one of the 4 bullies with the bonnie mask from fnaf 4. It's not Jeremy imo.
Well, Gabriel does get something-- in fact, he gets more than the other MCI kids (Cassidy excluded because atp we've no clue what the hell her role even is in the plot). He's all but confirmed to be the b-day boy of the MCI in Help Wanted-- he's the character we represent in the Pizza Party level and get who gets killed on his birthday by Glitchtrap (who obv represents Purple Guy) only to be stuffed in Freddy. Gabriel, as Withered Freddy, is the protagonist of SAVETHEM in FNAF 2, which is, imo, the most wasted plotline in the whole series, because it actively shows Freddy Fazbear as an actual plot-relevant protagonist, only to never be mentioned again. Finally, the very last Frights story (You're the Band) features Gabriel as the main antagonist and someone who wants "to save the others", meaning he has a sense of responsibility over the other MCI kids and is like their leader (that said, this too is completely trown out the window in the movie, where the Golden Freddy kid takes literally all the relevance from the other MCI kids)
It's actually an embarrassing photo of William at a Christmas party which kickstarted the games events. The original mci kids saw it and he had to murder them to keep them silent.
@@brendanmuller7301 it's William in a bunny mask and a maid suit posing for Henry's brother, who was named Cassidy and was a midget, which is why he's put as a victim of Missing Children Incident, despite being an adult
It is so bizarre to me that Chica and the soul possessing her has so much information about her next to Charlie and the puppet and yet she's one of the most underrated characters
Fr that ending was so meaningful when it first came out. The fact that they've basically retconned it to be retroactively meaningless is really disappointing
@@jpcsdutra The thing is that it was presented as the definitive ending to the series, (IIRC) it was supposed to be the final game. They don't feel "alternate" due to the difficulty and presentation. Maybe it's just how other games do it, but they feel like the true ending. Pizzeria Simulator and Ultimate Custom Night have the exact same issue. It always feels sour for any series, it retroactively makes the story weaker. I get why, a franchise has to continue, this is a problem for a lot of stuff out there. It just makes it difficult to get invested, all that terror and sadness gets weaker the tenth time it happens y'know? And when the good things don't matter then, what's left? Series that use disconnected stories do it best. When the tragedy ends in peace or despair, it sticks. That means it'll always stick with you, no matter what's next.
no matter what variation she is, Chica always ends up drawing the short straw. it's a shame, because most of the chica variants happen to be my favorite animatronics. classic chica, toy chica, funtime chica, rockstar chica, and especially glamrock chica
Logbook Chica is such a cool character I honestly really wish that she would make a game appearance Also FNaF AR is shutting down. We'll never get Lefty released in it :(
@@kitdoesstufflmao yeah I know people has different perspectives but I don’t consider creepy as cool because cool when something looks really cool that makes someone go “WOW” but creepy makes things heavily disturbing and I have been a horror fan a long long time and I’ve seen some stuff that you don’t want to know cause it’s really creepy
@@kitdoesstufflmao (also a year ago someone was shot here and I saw his dead body but the police quickly covered luckily the person who shot him was arrested I wasn’t that terrified when I saw his body because I’m use to seeing those stuff on RU-vid, old creepy pastas, classic horror movies yeah it’s disturbing)
Maybe Logbook Chica could've been a Scrapping Level tutorial, showing you how the mechanics work, and how to check for tells. She probably could've even replaced Scrap Baby at the opening bit.
Come to think of it, was Susie originally meant to be TOYSNHK but was changed? Since she was the first one William killed, William literally using her dead dog lure her to her death, and possibly logbook Chica being cut from pizza sim maybe that’s why but Scott changed it to Cassidy/Golden Freddy (and it’s also why we get a backstory on her specifically)
Any new rendition of Classic Style Chica is a welcome addition in my book. Either way on a serious note I think that Chica shouldve had more of a send off considering the spirit inside "saw everything" plus the idea that the animatronic survived all those years too still seeing everything up until Pizza Sim. Persistence is that chickens best trait imo. Couldve been lore stuff and some minor dark humor too
Susie and Chica had to have been planned for something. Susie gets the most attention, she has a lot more humanisation compared to the rest of the kids, Chica is one of the few from the original cast to repeatedly come back. Why do they consider this character significant enough to constantly reference, yet not important enough to have a definitive answer for? They wanted to use her for something yet they chickened out for one reason or another. It's weird. What is it about Chica that makes her stand out? The creators to keep bringing her back only to not actually do anything with her.
It would've been cool if Logbook Chica was used to lure in the Puppet originally. Charlie's whole "No soul left behind" approach would drive the puppet to try and find Chica, only to turn to the left and find a bear trap waiting for them. Would've fleshed out both characters a bit more.
Could it be possible that the midnight motorist minigame was supposed to link to Susie as well, but the dialogue was changed after scrap chica was cut? It would give an explanation of the color swap, the grave and the confusing footprints... or I'm just crazy which is also fine.
Coming home but in game? Interesting. But I think the grey couch potato says " *He* had a rough day" so the runner was a boy. I don't this was quite it, but maybe close.
@Hex.A.Decimal so does that mean that maybe it could've been Fitz (Foxy) who ran away? It said he was running so maybe he ran to where he thought he'd be safe?
@@destinyread4198 I don't think so. I kind of wrote off MM a long time ago, though. It's too vague. If anything I think it probably has to do with the Vengeful Spirit. The OG 5 being lured and killed inside the Pizzeria, and whatever this one is being kidnapped and killed from their own home.
The Scrap Chica idea also fits in with Chica’s absence in Sister Location. Molten Freddy being Ennard would include Freddy, Bonnie (via BonBon) and Foxy.
The kids memories are tied to the Remnant so they posses whatever has the bulk of said remnant. The theory has the Remnant move from the Withered/Classics to the Funtimes when Afton reclaims the older Endos of the original 5. Ennard, Moltern Freddy and the Blob are all made of the funtime animations which has said remnant from the Funtimes which was sourced from the original 5. It's really not that complicated
well uh, the classics literally ARE the withereds, and the funtimes literally are ennard AND molten freddy. the blob is still a mystery and its unknown who, if anyone, is possessing it. so really its just saying the MCI kids possessed 2 sets of animatronics at different times, which isnt that much of a stretch
You know, this is a decent point really, especially since Pizza Sim opens with the Scrap Baby repair that goes no where and is just kinda randomly repeated. Would've fit perfectly with Chica appearing instead in her place then being active from Night 1 It's a Shame Scott doesn't really do content updates to his games, as I am certain this would be a nice addition to Pizza Sim if balanced right lol
5:34, you can also see Puppet ascending with the MCI kids, but we know Puppet is still active or else Lefty wouldn't need to exist 7:28, M1 are the Ads in Pizza Sim, they originally acted like a animatronic but could move faster & and the jumpscare was a popup, this was removed for a unknown reason being replaced with a timer & percentage system
@@RaisinHook Yeah, that's when Lolbit finally appeared in the main franchise (and SL as an easter egg) but it is a FNaF World character so existed before even that. I can't help but to assume, with how everything reads, that m1's original function was Lolbit and due to it being too difficult and thematically irrelevant it got cut and saved for UCN.
@@Hex.A.Decimal the FNAF World characters are different characters from the main ones (ie. Adventure Withered Bonnie is not Withered Bonnie), & Jack-O-Chica appeared in UCN so UCN has to take place sometime after the in-world FNAF Games where made (witch includes Sister Location Custom Nights)
Chica (withered or not) has litterally said 'I was the first, I have seen everything' which is probably the most info we have gotten around, at least, Chica. Then it is never really expanded upon.
the ennard vent repair chica does actually appear in that level! her body is seen above the center vent during the gear section and her head appears somewhere else i cant remember off the top of my head
According to HW2, Chica died first, then the rest, *then Charlie.* Whatever Henry meant, we know Charlie was the *last* to die before Elizabeth. Either he meant something else, or he was wrong. If we're going to take so much from the books as well, we also have to accept that the MCI happened in 1985, so the canon order is CC, MCI, Charlie, then Elizabeth. A more interesting, perhaps more important, note is that Henry implies he helped William, and the suggestions that he had something to do with things like the Scooper and the Funtimes. After all, we do find the scooper down beneath the Pizza Sim location, and he *had those designs.* If Henry built that, why? More importantly, why is it that the games and the books keep suggesting Henry built Baby? *Did he help build them? Did he know?* I keep seeing suggestions that Henry was *not so innocent* and that if he wasn't just complicit, he might've been an *accomplice.*
HW2 makes a sizeable plothole when it comes to continuity, because suddenly dates are gonna be all sorts of screwy. And we can't take from the books, because they say Charlie died in 83. I'm gonna say that there might be a changeup of the line of succession for future plot purposes. ...Or there's two puppets, lol.
@@Dr_Damon_1111 If your entire basis is the idea that "Henry said so" when we've been told multiple times after that that Susie died first, then I'll simply inform you that you are incorrect and we'll move right along.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 I was more referring to the *6 bodies* we see in 1985 in ITP, rather than the absurdities of the Novels, in which I don't recall a puppet and, well, the fact Henry is *dead as fuck* without burning a certain rabbit corpse. However, even in the novels we are told outright the date is still 1985, and with Charlie being placed among the victims now by the most recent reveal, it's hardly a stretch to say that we have a date, an order, and a confirmation Especially given the additional focus ITP is getting with the next title focusing on it, and the inclusion of the puppet as a victim of the MCI, namely, the last victim, I don't see any version of the timeline that requires Charlie to die first, unless you are absurdly insistent on the line *"Not until I undo what he has done and heal this wound - a wound first inflicted on me, but then one that I let bleed out to cause all of this."* to exclusively mean his child's death, and not be relating to the reveal in that sentence that he knew William's actions and chose not to hold him accountable until now. The key phrase being "that I let bleed out" not "first inflicted on me" and suggesting more his awareness than his victimhood. All of that, and the fact we're told repeatedly that Susie was his first victim, not Charlie, and the level of importance placed on her, which you yourself brought up. Suggesting that Henry's vague line somehow wins out over a blatant *"I Was The First, I Have Seen Everything"* which leaves nothing to interpretation. Discarding one and clinging to the other is just cherry picking evidence to fit a predetermined outcome.
@@Dr_Damon_1111 I'm going to go on a limb and say you weren't paying attention to the graveyard in HW2, but also, you did, you just did the thing, you went out of your way to state that one vague piece of evidence fully supported what you had to say, and that the other was somehow not evidence because, for some reason, you have already decided your opinion is right with no evidence. As I've stated, Henry never says Charlie died first, that's fan interpretation. He says he was inflicted with a wound that he let spill out. As far as we know he could've been the first to learn of his child's death. We've been told by modern sources that Susie predates Charlie. We've been told repeatedly the date 1985. We've been told multiple times that Charlie was part of the MCI. At this point, it's not really up to be refuted.
I remember when I first saw this pic of logbook chica when it was floating around the internet same time when the scrap baby teaser came out I was curious as to why chica would come back since at the time she was dismantled but I summed it up to this is wha she looked like after Afton broke the animatronics in the fnaf 3 mini games. It would’ve been interesting to see what the other members looked like after getting dismantled.
The Fazbear Frights book “What We Found” has a brief cameo of a weird, destroyed Chica as a hallucination that the main character has. It’s possible that was also an allusion to Logbook Chica.
The fact that a FNAF book teased the next game, but the animatronic wasn’t in it shows when the FNAF lore knows the right time to do a surprising twist.
Considering the intro to the game with Scrapbaby, she could’ve been in night 1, instead of being introduced and only showing up at night 3 which makes no sense. If I was to order the nights the salvages would go: night 1 scrapbaby, night 2 lefty, nighty 3 molten, night 4 Afton, which would leave 1 final night salvaging Chica
Love to see Scrap Chica getting some attention, I always thought it was tragically poetic that she be lost to history but it’s nice to see a spotlight being put on her
You know with susie having scrap chica and Charlie having lefty, I wonder if one of the remaining 3 where meant to have a massive story mini game like fruity maze or security puppet. Would this limit Down midnight motorist to one of the remaining 3 scraps?
I like to imagine that the amount of backstory susie gets is a meta way to make up for chica getting pushed aside in general, especially since she was entirely absent from sl
Like someone already mentioned, she could've been planned to appear in the opening scene of FFPS instead of Scrap Baby, I never understood why Baby was in there if she only shows up in Night 4
I feel like it seemed that Chica needed to be in fnaf 6 because of the mystery of her absence in SL, or Scott thought she needed to be. Honestly, logbook Chica and fruity maze are implications that Suzie was originally supposed to be a ringleader type character and possibly the vengeful spirit which would be later confirmed in UCN, but I think it gave way to much focus on the character and especially with the "I was the first" stichk and a vengeful nature would have had to force a cannon timeline of the deaths which would obviously be messy as it would mean for Suzie to be as vengeful as she is she would have had to die probably before 1983 to preceed both the crying child and Charlie in order to make her seem more independent and not needing Charlie to give her the gift of life, which would have been a solid story however a shitstorm of a mess since Chica wasn't given much importance or leadership implications up until mid-series with the very, VERY obscure "Chica's party world" text. I believe that this storyline was retconned as there wasn't proper buildup and it was more sensible to give the spotlight in UCN to the more menacing golden Freddy. BTW, I'd never heard of logbook/scrap Chica up until this video
I like this idea. This would have actually been a more logical explanation for what happened to the MCI kids than Molten MCI or Rockstar MCI ever could be. Yes, the latter does exist and it makes even less sense than Molten MCI, because why would anyone take the broken, demolished by Afton, probably burned in Fazbear's Frights parts of the FNAF 1 animatronics and build the Rockstar animatronics out of them?
I like the idea of logbook Chica being a possibly lost to time fnaf 6 aniamtorncis. Specially being one of the main from the scrap gang. Hell, I love logbook chica's design! Real cryptic gal. But sadly, Fnaf 6 can't have shit in this world :( (oh yeah Sammy Emily video lets gooooo!! I can't wait to hear rants abt him!!)
noooooo u forgot logbook chica's small cameo in the faz fright story "what we found" although L-chica does make a pretty good candidate for m1 and could explain why henry thinks he lured the mci in the building, the quote from insanity ending "I don't know how those tiny breaths of life came to inhabit those machines. But they will never find rest now. Not like this. I have to call them all back. All of them. Together in one place." implies that most of the mci should still be in the building assuming molten mci wasn't true, under this theory, only L-chica would be in the building and the other potential mci spirits henry wanted to set free all unaccounted for, and it would be stranger lore wise to scrap logbook chica, since now chica isn't in the building anymore since henry didn't bring any of the mci back. of course there is still susie trapped in the fruity maze arcade, but that is optional which is strange since if its how henry gets to free susie, then it should fall under paragraph 4 and be a requirement to be burned in ur video u also said molten mci would be strange if the good ending set the spirits free during fnaf 3, i think that is true sus, but that also is strange for susie since she should've also been freed, either: -bad ending happened -happiest day takes place after fnaf 6 -the mci are all gone and not in fnaf 6 i personally think m1 is just mike, i think most people think that logbook chica was just to tease her inclusion into faz frights but the dates would be pretty weird, honestly no idea myself, it seems she probably was intended to be used in the games but her inclusion makes less sense in the game timeline since: -the illustration shows chica in an endo-02 model -her head is really broken down missing the top beak but her head in fnaf 3 in the good or bad endings has the top beak but missing the bottom beak -phone dude couldn't find any of the animatronics except springtrap so L-chica must've been adventuring or something
Don't forget, the FNAF1 animatronics had plenty of duplicate shell pieces. Logbook Chica may be a production twin to Withered Chica. I suspect Susie can possess any Chica, since that's the mask she was given. A similar trait applies to the other mask-wearing ghosts. And I also don't believe the whole MoltenMCI theory. The Funtimes contain remnant from their own victims, not the MCI. By the time FFPS takes place, there are countless victims now possessing animatronics scattered around the area and Henry has to Catch Em All. It's more than just the 7 or 8 known victims.
You always upload when I need you the most, you're the best I just finished an exhausting assignment in the last minute and as I was getting comfy this video popped up on my home page so thank you!
Great vid as always, I actually never heard of that character before, pretty nice to leard new stuff like that! Also, to be fair, I'd say it makes sense to not have her included in the game, because it would just be odd to have her return. She would be in Fnaf 6, but as the only missing children remaining? And I'm not even saying "why her instead of Freddy, Bonnie or Foxy", but "why would a singular missing children would be in the game instead of all 5 of them? If they all moved on in the Happiest day minigame before Fnaf 6, then not a single one of them is supposed to be here in Fnaf 6. If them moving on only happens at the end of Fnaf 6, then they would ALL be supposed to be in Fnaf 6. For both cases, isolating one of the missing children from the others just wouldn't make sense. Mayyyybe Cassidy would get a pass, but Susie wouldn't.
about the help wanted chicas, the first one was just a bug that was the result of a withered chica animation being applied to classic chica accidentally (which is why withered chica replaced her when she got removed) and the second one isn't actually unused, but the head and body are separate models and appear in different spots (the body appears in the section with the gears above the middle conveyor and the head is sitting against the wall on the left below that section)
Yeah, logbook Chica is a real strange case. It's kind of disappointing the only question that Scott was asked about FNAF 6 was just about the minimal teasing. It really does feel like Scott stitched the 5 kittens worth of ideas into one coffin to release the game. I'd love to know what happened with the development of this game besides the intentional lack of build up. With Logbook Chica specifically, there's this big question of how? Her whole animatronic body was completely torn apart to the point her spirit was able to leave it and help trap William in the safe room. Even if she didn't actually move on but the other spirits did, how on earth would she get her old body back? Did she just do a GLADOS and just pull her body parts back like magnets through science magic? The other characters in this game who have survived anything close to this kind of fate, have had either a new suit or otherwise completely reconstructed themselves. This design change, with the possibly redesigned endoskeleton, is closer to the glamrocks going from security breach to ruin really than the scraps. In general it's fairly clear, to me at least, the game's trying to incorporate and clarify a few of the consistencies between the books and games continuity, you know with Henry being the Cassete Man and everything (Side Note: I do kind of wish the reveal that he was Henry was held off somehow because that name really should've lasted longer than it did.) so the lorekeeper ending, having the graves with the 3 matching names and Fruity Maze does make sense.
It’s fair to assume that removing one animatronic would also help with game balance a bit. Since the animatronics behave so similarly anyway, having five of them probably made the game a bit too difficult.
6:24 yeah I never thought Molten MCI was really convincing mainly because it logistically makes no sense. So William gos to Freddy’s, scraps the OG band, goes to the sister location to inject the Funtimes with the remnant, only to go back to Freddy’s to get springlocked? Yeah, makes perfect sense.
@@Dr_Damon_1111 is that explicitly in the game somewhere or are you just say he could have happened. I’m sorry but the follow me mini game doesn’t show what you’re say from what I remember. He scraps them and then gets chased into the spring lock suit. It just seems it was all happened at the same time, or at least that’s how it’s presented.
@@CheshireCatMysticthe fact that the follow me minigames are spread out for each night could also be an indication that it’s on separate occasions, right?
@@melsxteaxcake ok I’ll give you that it COULD be, but I honestly feel that it’s still odd to go back and forth scraping one at a time. But mostly why go back after scraping the last one? He would have already had gotten most of the parts and gotten the a lot of remnant by then so why go back for a few extra pieces. Ultimately I just don’t think there’s enough evidence to suggest molten MCI is accurate.
@@CheshireCatMystic well, to be fair in the minigames we never got to play as golden freddy right? perhaps GF was the last one he needed to scrap but upon doing so or before he could scrap golden freddy, the souls group up. I don’t believe what I wrote myself but I’m just throwing that out there in case someone finds this and latches on to it to make a bigger theory. Edit: if we DO play as golden freddy that’s my bad my memory is fuzzy on the follow me minigame, I only remember the first 4 cast and on the 5th night i can only imagine it’s the souls..does 6th night count??
So, to my knowledge, Cassidy's name was hidden in the Logbook word search through a series of random numbers as coordinates, with the it's mes a lean towards Golden Freddy. (And was the first thing to stump Matpat 6 years ago) With people aligning 6's gravestones to 3's bad ending heads, both the grass one and Bonnie are furthest right which may explain that move in TFC. Also despite that brunette pic from the graphic novel you use for Cassidy, the original release said she had black hair, hence many uses the cake Puppet page as reference. But then, the Susie in Coming Home was said to have brown eyes and hair, whereas the Ultimate Guide illustration has her blonde. And of course there's Into the Pit with 'half a dozen kids', we believe it's 6 (graphic novel also doing 6), but the new game sets 5. (Still kinda bummed the Withered designs aren't shown for it) From what I heard about Frights 2nd comic release, the artists kinda just do their own thing. Feels like questionable quality control compared to something like Gravity Falls books.
Notably, Scott was running out of space when it came to the animations of Pizza Sim. This is why it didn't have a custom night. He didn't have space for it. (Presumably he was going to include the actual simulator animatronics which is why they take up so much of UCN's roster.) The office jumpscares look so horrible because of the lack of space. Clickteam as an engine is really bad at animation and can't hold many high resolution images. Everything running on prerendered frames means that there's not much you can actually implement. (This is why FNaF as a series generally limits the amount of animation present as well.)
Considering how it appears Logbook Chica would've been the only one of the Classic gang to return, its pretty sad how we'd never get "scrap" designs of the other Classics. It would've been cool to see the whole gang one last time. At the very least, there are high quality models of "broken" versions of the Classic Animatronics (including logbook Chica), made by UFMP that are basically scrap models. They aren't official, but that doesn't stop them from looking amazing. So while Logbook Chica most likely will never be in another piece of official FNAF media ever again, at least she has a really high quality model, even if it is unofficial.
I love Chica. She always deserves more attention. She is in an odd place where we have more information and appearances of her than some other animatronics but not really anything big or lore relevant. Enough to keep us wanting, but not enough to satisfy.
Hahah, yes. Susie was the first. She had seen everything. Though where would she fit in pizza sim? There would need to be an extra night or brought in before you started the first night. Or maybe she would always be there from the start “for parts”, so you wouldn’t play any night without at least one animatronic. …. Also lol, that last frame 😆.
logbook chica ODDLY looks similar to ignited bonnie. considering shes the only one with that type of design,i imagine shes like golden freddy. she was the first.. i figure MOST of the animatronics have moved on, including her 3 band mates. but she cant move on, though she cant move, shes waiting to make her own move against Afton. yet she doesn’t even know where he is now. i hope we get to see more of her.not a main game but i could see a short film or book of her story.
If UCN is to be believed, that chica *saw* everything that would explain Logbook Chica's missing eyes. Shes been around for so long she lost sight of what really happened, being blinded by the rage which is why shes also the one missing child we get so much for!
This is a super cool theory! I enjoyed listening and it does help tie things up. And if Chica was there, we’d have one animatronic from each fnaf game before(excluding 4) returning.
i always thought logbook chica was supposed to be help wanted's fix chica minigame like, the blacklight version of the minigames was originally supposed to be with more broken animatronics but it ended up being cut for budget/time reasons
Now thinking about it and reflecting on both Pizza Sim AND the Logbook, the lack of Chica kinda surprises me. It would've made more sense if she was the tutorial scrapped animatronic, either playing out the quiet first night we got or possibly a more active first night. I kinda get why Scott might've NOT added her but her presentence is noticeable realizing no true FNAF 1 rep was shown for the Scrapped Animatronics. It also might explain MM as a palette swap instead of being confusing/ not lore compliant, maybe you were supposed to play as Afton after Suzie's death or possibly her parent. I feel so bad for Logbook Chica as she genuinely makes me feel uneasy to look at, reminds me of Sid's mutant toys. Her mechanics were prolly to lure her using audio lures as she doesn't have her eyes, and maybe attack from one of the two vents but thats my theory on how she might've played.
I havent seen anyone mention this, but before fnaf 6 came out, scott released behind the scenes images of the first game for the anniversary. Each image had somthing hidden in the background, specifically the scrap animatronics. In one of the images, there is a weird chica looking head hiding behind the employee only door in parts and service. I have speculated chica was a cut character for years now, but i havent seen anyone talk about it until you did.
It makes sense. Scrap Baby was the first character we see in FFPS, yet we end up doing an actual salvage on her later. So maybe this was supposed to be a Chica reveal.
Logbook Chica just feels like flavour added to not spoil the Scraps even if, assuming I remember correctly, knowledge of them was pretty widespread, lorewise considering the logbook is intended to be a mass produced book for employees to some degree a artistic depiction of Chica in such a state makes more sense too, it is cool to theorize on such things though regardless :)
if i had to guess why Chica was cut.. it was because of FNAF 3. whiles the concept of Chica (or one of the original 4) returning is a amazing idea and should've been executed.. it couldn't have been.. why? because she was already dismantled, broken, torn apart.. unless another Chica of the same fnaf 1 model was made (which's unlikely given teh state of fazebear entertainment in that part of the story) chica had no reason to show back up in anything more than a box of parts that William A. cut down. from there we see her head & half beak in fazbear frights, and subsequently.. burnt. although i suspect that, if they were pondering about including her, they changed her design from the logbook to more accurately represent how she would look in the game sense.. what with the upper half of her beak staying instead of the lower half, along with more of the limbs being cut off rather than.. seemingly melted
I feel like having scrap chika would make a couple issues. The first is how scrap chika got in, the point is that you have to willingly risk the animatronics entering through the interview process, which is designed to happen at the end of nights. It works a lot better at the end of nights as well as it's thr scariest part of the game. Additionally, I think it'd mess with the story a bit as the missing children's souls are meat to be free as of Fnaf 3
That final picture is so good. It really does feel like that sometimes. Chica is outside. I'll get me matches. Afton is back. I'll get me matches. A new Freddy's opened up. I'll get me matches. NotRealName posted a new video. I'll get me snacks. There's some more dead kids. I'll get me matches.
Hear me out, what if scraptrap wanted to preserve himself, and went to the pizzarea, not to kill, but to upload himself safely, or maybe he was looking for the mimic for parts? Baby does say she wants to make him proud, but we dont hear any of this from will strangly, so what was his goal? Im shootin in the dark with this, have fun!
I didn't think that the "mystery of a random image at the end of an intrauniverse Logbook" could be stretched for 12 minutes And have some meaning in lore. Good job
It makes sense that a reason for her being cut would be because the night is very different from other FNAF games in that it ends when you complete your tasks, not after a set time limit, and thus salvaging her on the first night where you haven't even put anything IN your pizzaria is rather brutal to new players who don't realize that doing the salvage minigame = hostile animatronic during night segment. But on that note, I do agree it circles back around to being 2 games in 1 and a lot of parts missing. Also, should have 100% been Mike gathering them all, even if he's on the tapes and cuts off Baby and the ending actually has "you" escape while Mike burns everything to the ground instead of Mike being some passive sidenote upstaged by someone who we never knew existed.
I think it'd be a perfect ending if Scrapchica was in the game. We have pretty much all of the main gang. Lefty/Molten Freddy as Freddy, Scraptrap as Bonnie, and Scrapchica as Chica. Friends till the end.
Mechanically it makes sense for her to be scrapped because the salvages happen inbetween days and not on the day themselves. This means that only 4 were ever needed. What this actually points out is that the salvage was probably the main gameplay loop of this game, and not the end-shift computer room. That one is actually a miss in my opinion. Yes the name of the game is "five nights" but we know there will be the bonus, extra, weekend, whatever nights. If Lefty was actually a salvage at the end of the fifth night AND THEN we got the opportunity to get the fire ending on the extra night, that would have been cool and a break of expectations. Or even have Chica in "night zero" as a salvage tutorial. You can't count cut content as lore or evidence, but I mean, if we got an OG animatronic serving as a host for the MCI, it stops the trainwreck that is trying to justify canon endings and how "technically the souls of the kids are still being set free because molten Freddy remnant". Now it is just a clear cut ending with no expeculations. "Here's the MCI, here's Afton, here's Elizabeth, here's the sum of Afton's experiments with all the other kids we have never seen and here's Charlie". It would honestly have been a better clearer ending. Maybe that's another reason why it didn't make the cut, it would have been too clear and people would start asking why would Chica be the sole survivor and with all the souls in her now. We surely would have found a different rabbit hole.
I’ve always been a believer of there being two MCIs. An idea I had was that the Toys were possessed, but it’s mentioned they were then scrapped. I believe that they were taken away and melted down/had remnant extracted from their bodies and then injected into the Funtimes, which is why they’re so wild and aggressive compared to everyone else. I would be too if I was a dead kid sharing a body with other dead kids - I would lose my marbles and be completely unreasonable. (I mean, they went specifically after Micheal even though they could have used the technicians in SL, where’s the other animatronics attacked indiscriminately. They seem far more pissed than the others, and that’s saying something.) Do I have any evidence? No, absolutely none. But it has always been something I’ve believed in, though never proposed as a theory since there’s no evidence this is what happened. I think it would also explain why Charlie stayed behind; because her job wasn’t finished yet. She still had Baby, Ballora, and the Funtimes left.
About Molten Freddy being the MCI, having no evidence: The insanity ending really alludes to this being the case, with Henry retelling the events of Follow Me, talking about how William tricked and overpowered them again, before saying the original missing children were "set to new purpose", and that they'll "never find rest now, not like this". Throughout Henry's monologue we see different blue prints, the most important one being for the scooper. The blue print shows us that the scooper had a "remnant reservoir" and a "remnant injector", combined with the whole ending being about follow me, I feel that it's pretty likely the Insanity Ending was explaining how the original missing children ended up in the Funtimes and then Molten Freddy. Plus if we give the unused "blueprints" the benifit of the doubt, Molten Freddy being listed as, "Priority One" is very important. Henry gave this random pile of wires higher priority than his own daughter. Plus The Forth Closet is all about how William turned the original animatronics into the Funtimes by melting their endoskeletons down into a heap of *molten* metal, and then injecting the metal into the Funtimes to bring them to life. To explain the whole Follow Me "problem", William may have done follow me over 5 nights, the minigames are structured around your actual 5 gameplay nights after all. William then returns for the shells (maybe) or to retrieve spring bonnie to take home with him, like what he did in The Silver Eyes. It'd also explain why Fazbear's Fright could only find the shells, with the endoskeletons noticeably missing in fnaf 3. Also it's become increasingly likely Sister Location takes place after FNAF1, which is a whole thing Edit: Youre definitely right about Candy Cadet though, I'll never buy those being about Molten Freddy
I mean ennard is 5 if you count bon bon Edit: according to this one RU-vidr who went through the code of Pizzaria simulator, character #1 would unlock if you got all of the sponsorships
Considering the fact that Susie, one of the missing children was heavily mentioned in one of the mini games, while the others were completely dormant. It’s honestly safe to say that maybe logbook chica was originally supposed to be a part of Scrap animatronics or maybe a character like plush trap where they have there own mini game and to be fair, it isn’t completely outside of the lore for something like this since it’s theorised that the other missing children probably possessed Molten Freddy *but that’s just a theory A GA-*
If Lefty was designed to detain the Puppet, he could’ve just not been a threat past the salvaging so that Scrap Chica could be. Would fix the whole thing with having 2 bears
My comment dissapeared. m1 is tied to the ads. Probably Lolbit at one point, that mechanic got cut and saved for UCN. Or it could be a placeholder for the ad structure and I misread it... Opps. Sorry if so. Logbook Chica is interesting, but imo probably a book teaser. LadyFiszi is the one that illustrated the Logbook, and was planned to have illustrated Frights iirc.... But bad things came out. Logbook Chica was never used because it is off model. It has the shell of FNaF 1 Chica and an Endo 02. Which could never happen. That said, it is a net loss to FFPS that a Scrap Chica wasn't in the roster. A Salvage based on the Logbook design would have been fire.
Freddy Fazbear: What the heck happened to Chica? Captain Foxy the Fox: Oof, she got roasted. Bonnie the Rabbit: Really Foxy? Captain Foxy the Fox: Lol(Bit) SpringBonnie: Well…I don’t know. I guess we can, put her back togetherrrre. Freddy Fazbear: Hush boi, we’ll just throw her out. Bonnie the Rabbit: Wow Freddy, what a great leader. Freddy Fazbear: Indeed Captain Foxy the Fox: You’d make a better captain than me. You may take my hat. Freddy Fazbear: Ahh, thank you Foxy, I’ll give you my hat. Captain Foxy the Fox: No thanks, it looks crappy. Freddy Fazbear: Well screw yours too *bites a chunck of the hat* Captain Foxy the Fox: Give me your hat, I’ll make us even. Freddy Fazbear: Here Captain Foxy the Fox: *Bites Freddy’s hat* Bonnie the Rabbit: Weren’t we gonna throw out Chica or something? Freddy Fazbear: Oh yeah *throws Chica through a window*
Notably as to the missing arm in both of the now-removed HW models theorized to be logbook Chica, that's actually just a thing in HW. Chica is missing her left arm, as well as attached cupcake, in her Parts & Service level. It, alongside cleaning out the cockroach infestation inside her, is a part of the main repair task. How exactly she managed to get her whole arm to fall off is unclear, but it's shown several times in Pizza Party, the psychedelic maze you follow to reach the first ending of the game - she's shown rushing a pizza box with her remaining arm outstretched at one point in the kitchen, before vanishing after which the slices disappear one by one with associated crunches, and she's shown alongside Bonnie with his faceplate open in the actual room at the end with the cake, where Glitchtrap beckons you onstage in person. I assume it, much like the reuse of classic Bonnie's opening face, is something the model is just rigged to have and thus was an easy way to get an animated or otherwise reposable Chica that didn't just look completely unchanged. After all, most of the damaged poses in Ennard's hard mode level are one-offs. I would argue FNaF 3 and FFPS both did the nothing-on-the-first-night thing for the same reason, that being some kind of obtuse mechanics you have to get used to, so they give you a mostly threat-free environment to familiarize yourself with. Plus, it helps with the buildup. There is actually a chance to get animatronics on the first night in FFPS, as they can technically sneak in based on liability rating (AstralSpiff has a popular clip where he got unlucky and was killed by Lefty night 1, which is the most popular showcase of this). Sure, it helps with story, but it's more a matter of gameplay and atmosphere. Pizzeria Sim has always felt rushed to me. It's meant to be the culmination of a series of converging storylines, but there's really only two games it actually does anything about, those being 3 and SL. It almost feels like there was meant to be other games between SL and FFPS, games where in the background we'd perhaps get to see Ennard's degregation into a tangled mass of cables and hands, or Lefty capturing the Puppet, or why Afton looks like that now beyond Scott disliking reusing the same models for new games. The roster is stretched thin, because there's really only _three_ things that were brought there, but Ennard was cut apart to fill some badly-needed additional space in the form of its components. You can tell Scott was tired of developing these games, was slowing down - the modelwork of the scraps in particular showcases this, as does his subsequent retirement once as he finished the split-off custom night which was meant to be a part of FFPS initially. It just seems like it was meant to be more.
I do feel like the concept of bringing back the missing children to fnaf 6 cut for time And my personal hot takes there wasn’t part of the video of yours the concept all the original MC and crying child possess golden Freddy/Fred bear animatronic become the fifth animatronic instead of that weird wooden paper pal standing How terrible fnaf 6 is I think that Chica/Susie dodge bullet right there
