Talk:Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Really. It has not been confirmed whether the game is a prequel or a sequel. On the five Nights at Freddy's wiki. It says it follows up the previous game. So could we leave it at follow-up so that we don't have abunch of angry people on the Wiki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vacuumfan7072 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

:The wiki for the game isn't a reliable source, so the only thing regarding it is the title of the game itself. 2 = Sequel. TheMeaningOfBlah (talk) 21:36, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

::Thing is tho.. That wiki has been overviewed by Scott Cawthon himself. Vacuumfan7072 (talk) 08:19, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

It's pretty much confirmed that the game itself is a prequel, but it doesn't openly state that anywhere aside from the paycheck. So it is still *technically* speculation. Also, there are still a lot of people who think FNAF 2 takes place after FNAF 1, so changing it to "prequel" would cause debate. "Sequel" can refer to taking place before or after, so leaving it at that is generic enough.

:"Sequel" simply identifies it as being released after another game. It does not take into account any fictional timelines.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:59, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

::I think it does (that's how I use the word, anyway) so I would opt for "second installment" instead. I like how the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace article handles such words: "It is the fourth film in the Star Wars saga to be released, the first of a three-part prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, and the first film in the story chronology." Qoby (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

:::The issue here is that we know Phantom Menace is a prequel but FNaF2 is questionable.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:22, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

:::This discussion was never resolved. Given the apparently strong preferences on both sides would "second installment" (as mentioned above) be a reasonable compromise? 166.137.252.56 (talk) 15:17, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

::::There is no such agreement here that "second installment" should be used. It is a sequel. Just because everyone thinks that the word suggests that the game comes after the other in the fictional chronology that they've come up with after watching Mark play the game doesn't mean anything on Wikipedia. Game #2 is a sequel because no one has discussed this in any other terms. Unless you can find reliable sources that avoid using "sequel" in favor of "second installment" or perhaps even use "prequel", we will use "sequel"..—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:::::My aim is to establish an agreement with this discussion; I didn't intend to suggest we had one. It's clear Ryulong prefers sequel. My preference is for "second installment" which is no less precise and would end what seems to be an ongoing disagreement. I'll wait for other options and arguments for/against before taking any action. 166.137.252.118 (talk) 19:33, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

::::::Sequel is best, it means the same thing as 'second instalment' and is more concise. — Strongjam (talk) 19:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:That's partially what I was saying, I just didn't really word it very clearly. Killerwhale24680(talk) 12:20 AM, 12 December 2014 — Preceding undated comment added 00:21, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

It is a prequel.for proof:

famoter (talk)19:10 5 June 2015 (UTC)

On the page, under the section "Plot", there is a typo in the last paragraph.

In the game, the person leaving the voice-mails (commonly referred to as "Phone Guy") does not call Jeremy Fitzgerald on the fifth night about some supposed killer wearing a spare yellow Freddy Fazbear suit, he calls about that on the sixth night. However, Phone Guy does mention that the place is on lockdown, which means that no one can get in, and no one can get out, so Jeremy is trapped in there for the night anyway. He also mentions getting promoted to the day shift after a vacancy "became... *pause* available."

If someone can make those changes, it would make everything so much clearer.

Please state that the Windows Phone version of the game is no longer available for purchase. This was due to hardware compatibility issues.

:We need sources that say this.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:32, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Scanning through this article, I found that the majority of the article is completely unsourced, except from the lead and the Reception section. If anyone can find any sources to back up these claims, it would be greatly appreciated. George Edward C – Talk – Contributions 17:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Under the section called Sequel, it says that fnaf 3 will only have one animatronic. However, this could be not true. There could be more, the onl trailer released was the teaser, not the main trailer. It is like in Five Nights one, we only saw Freddy, Chika, and Bonnie and the trailer, yet the game also included Foxy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:cd64:13e0:69ea:d08a:8b3e:5244 (talk) 15:58, 2 February 2015‎ (UTC)

:I've replaced the content with everything I could find from reliable sources, which is admittedly not much. If you find any other RS with more details feel free to ping me or add them to the talk page. — Strongjam (talk) 16:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

there is Phantom Freddy,Phantom Bonnie,Phantom Chica,Phantom Foxy,Phantom Mangle and Phantom BB(Ballon boy)

famoter (talk) 13:58 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Under the reception heading there is a quote from a YouTube channel with very few views or subscribers. It seems to me that this is an attempt to gain the channel more traffic, rather than provide opinions from well-known/reputable sources. The quote in question is from "zynthesia gaming" or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.17.146.34 (talk) 20:41, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

There are actually 14 animatronics if you include some "Easter eggs". such as shadow bonnie, red and repaired foxy, balloon girl, and endoskeleton (golden Freddy's).

:File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 21:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

I was about to change sequel to prequel, then I noticed the talk page discussion. No updates since last year except {{u|famoter|famoter's}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1kw1RmzrPc&list=UUo_IB5145EVNcf8hw1Kku7w&index=12 youtube link] which I haven't had a chance to watch, so lets start discussion again: prequel or sequel and why?

• Prequel: Based on the paycheck. We use the game as the source for most info in this article, I don't see why this should be an exception. 168.1.75.44 (talk) 04:20, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
• If I have to pick between the two, Sequel: As Ryulong said in the initial discussion, ""Sequel" simply identifies it as being released after another game. It does not take into account any fictional timelines." FNAF2 came out after FNAF, therefore, sequel. I'd like to propose, though, that it be changed to simply noting that this is the second game in the series, which neatly avoids any debate. NekoKatsun (talk) 19:15, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
• Neutral - The fact that it is released after FNAF1 would make it a sequel, but the history is like a prequel. There are games (such as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island) that look like sequels but are actually prequels. --TL22 (talk) 00:50, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=712385531 my edit]. You may add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.clickteam.com/interview-of-the-author-of-a-top-paid-game-in-appstore.html
