FNaF Rant - Why I Still Believe the Burntrap Ending is the True Ending of Security Breach
I keep hearing people say that the True Ending of FNaF Security Breach has now been proven to be the Princess Quest Ending, but I have a different opinion (if the title wasn’t obvious enough). I am not on the bandwagon of the “Princess Quest Ending = True Ending” idea that most people had, and the Ruin DLC just reinforced that the Burntrap ending is the True Ending for the game. Here are my reasons why I believe this to be. Spoilers below for FNaF: Security Breach and for the Ruin DLC. The screenshots come mostly from FusionZGamer’s playthrough of Ruin.
1. The Glamrock Freddy animatronic we see in the Ruin DLC is a Prototype, not the real Glamrock Freddy. A lot of people automatically jumped to “oh, there’s a headless Glamrock Freddy! It has to mean that Freddy was decapitated!” Not necessarily. This Prototype was probably put to work after the real Freddy left the pizzaplex with Gregory. Not to mention when you look at the credits of the Ruin DLC, Kellen isn’t credited with the voice of Glamrock Freddy.
If the real Glamrock Freddy were still there, wouldn’t it be logical that Kellen Goff would still be given credit to voicing him, even if the creature doesn’t talk? I feel like the Prototype was just a suit that Fazbear Entertainment tried to put into commission because their real Glamrock Freddy ran away. Not to mention, when the Prototype Glamrock Freddy opens its chest-mouth-thing, there’s a present inside it. If it were the real Glamrock Freddy, why would there be a present inside him? Wouldn’t it have to be empty so Gregory could be able to climb in?
2. The entire finale of Ruin takes place in the Burntrap ending’s location. Why would the Ruin DLC even have you go into the sinkhole if the Burntrap ending wasn’t canon? If the Princess Quest ending was the True Ending, then the sinkhole wouldn’t have been introduced like we already knew it existed. The Mimic would have told Cassie something along the lines of “There’s this massive sinkhole in the middle of Roxy Racers that I got trapped in” and not “I’m in the sinkhole in the middle of Roxy Racers.” The latter implies that Gregory had at least told Cassie about it before, hence why the Mimic could simply say the latter line and Cassie wouldn’t immediately question “There’s a sinkhole in there?!”
3. Glamrock Chica, Monty, and Roxanne are all in worse versions of their withered states. From what I’ve seen and experienced, the only ending where you have to actively destroy all three of the animatronics is the Burntrap ending. You’re required to have all three items - the eyes, the voice box, and the claws - in order to even get down to the sinkhole. For all of the other endings, you can get all of them without destroying the last animatronic. The Ruined animatronics all have been destroyed, which implies that the Burntrap ending had to have been the true ending.
4. I don’t see the Princess Quest machine as being destroyed because Gregory saved Vanessa. To me, it looks kinda like the sword was impaled through the Princess Quest machine to prevent Vanessa from being saved. It’s not a “Oh, Gregory saved her and therefore slayed the monster” thing; it’s more of a “You lost your chance to save her, and now I’ll make sure no one can save her” scenario. Glitchtrap/The Mimic - whatever you wanna call him; I’m pretty sure they’re the same person - was probably ensuring that his puppet can’t get away from him ever again. If it wasn’t that, then maybe Vanessa found a way to save herself. After all, it’s the Princess who wields the golden sword in the game. Who’s to say that Vanessa didn’t save herself and escape from the pizzaplex?
5. The Blob wouldn’t necessarily have shown up in Ruin, even as an Easter Egg, if the True Ending was the Princess Quest ending. This is probably a dumb thing, but personally, why would you even have the Blob in the DLC if the ending where it actually shows up isn’t canon? If the Burntrap ending wasn’t canon, why have the Blob show as an Easter Egg at all? Most people only know that the Blob exists because of the Burntrap ending, so if he shows up, it would’ve at least garnered a reaction from Cassie, wouldn’t it? Something along the lines of “What the heck was that?!” while the Mimic dismisses it as “You’re probably seeing things.” Besides, FusionZGamer did some hacking, and it’s the entire model for the Blob.
Why would the entire model for a creature who only shows up in one ending be utilized for a DLC if it wasn’t in the True Ending? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
6. The earthquake that caused the pizzaplex to shut down was most likely the Blob moving and/or dragging Afton into the fires down below. (Credit for this screenshot goes to Dawko.) I think people don’t realize that earthquakes and fires aren’t mutually exclusive. You can have an earthquake at the same time as a fire and vice versa. There seems to be an idea that the fire didn’t hit the pizzaplex, but an earthquake did, which, granted, could be possible. However, the fires didn’t necessarily have to go up to the pizzaplex to cause damage. The sink hole was already rather large, and considering the size of the Blob, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to believe that the earthquake was caused by the Blob dragging Afton into his fiery demise... presumably. After all, Afton has a bad habit of always coming back.
7. Never assume the happiest ending is the true ending, especially when it comes to Five Nights at Freddy’s. The most common reason everyone jumped on the “Princess Quest Ending is the True Ending” bandwagon was because it was the only ending where Vanessa was saved and the only ending to have three stars. Not all happy endings are the true endings of a game. Look at the two endings for FNaF: Sister Location, for example, or the true ending of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator. The true ending for Sister Location was the ending where Michael was scooped, and the true ending for FFPS was Michael and the Salvaged Animatronics burning alive while Henry watched on and/or burned with them. When you look at the novels, too, there are no happy endings in most of the Fazbear Frights stories or the Tales from the Pizzaplex stories. Saving Vanessa in FNaF: Security Breach feels like it’s too happy. After all, it leaves one question ringing loud in your ears: Where is Glitchtrap? Because if the Princess Quest ending was canon, then theoretically, the mask should’ve been broken to signify Glitchtrap was finally gone; however, the mask was still intact. (Not to mention a few people on Reddit pointed out the mask was very different than the actual suit head that Vanny wore, which - power to you guys on Reddit; I didn’t realize that the first time.) There should have been some significant detail to help ensure the players that Glitchtrap was gone, but no. Glitchtrap, while Vanessa was freed from his grasp, is still most likely alive and kicking in the Princess Quest ending. The Burntrap ending, sure, has a lot of loose threads, but that’s the point of a good game that wants to continue the story. You’re supposed to have loose threads if you want to follow up on a story, otherwise it feels like you are retconning important details from the original game.
And, lastly:
This is in the game code. If it’s in the code, it’s probably the true ending. (Credit goes to the people on Reddit once again for this information.)
