"Corporate edging" is a statement i will never forget lmao

[insertclickbait]

I am now putting “Corporate Edging” into my vocabulary

[Bg]

It is genuinely insane to me that you and many others have been able to make videos that are longer than 10 minutes on the 30 second mimic I’m excited for the game but there’s just so little info we got it’s impressive to me

[RelicofGamingAC]

How the mimic sees the people as the same as animatronics feels like actually a really cool callback to the first fnaf, where I think phone guy said that the animatronics think you’re just a naked endo…like maybe in cannon there’s no difference between people and animatronics to non-possessed animatronics at least lol

[GJames-Legend]

Things I think.

1. If this game takes place in 1979 I think it’s possible that we may see Fredbear’s family diner possibly as an Easter egg or as part of the games story.

2. The box and puppets theme makes me think that the character of the puppet/marionette was around during the fallfest carnival/circus stuff.

3. The clown looking animatronic could possibly be a court jester or some kind of jack in the box.

4. I think it’s possible we might play as either William Afton or Henry Emily during secret of the mimic.

5. If there was a fire that occurred during the fallfest perhaps something associated with it is what caused William to become the way he is and go down his road of serial murders.

6. I think the Puppet/Marionette, Fredbear, Springbonnie, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Balloon Boy, Sun/Moon, Circus baby and Carnie were all the characters who originated from this fallfest circus/carnival.

@RyeToast One thing I haven't seen a lot of people talk about the teaser is that the year 1979 is the same year that Fredbear's Family Diner is implied to open in the novels. So, like the MCI happening in 1985 in the novels, frights, and seemingly the games, I can see Fredbear's potentially opening in 1979 in more than one timeline and potentially, this new game will show us the downfall of a Fallfest due to a fire, and the start of Fredbear's Family Diner.

The Mimic saved the post Pizza sim fnaf lore for me. I really hated the idea of Afton coming back again and retreading the same tried haunted animatronics story. The idea of a decade old hostile AI that has become obsessed with Afton and his crimes is so cool to me. Scott has always said he tends to take things in a more sci-fi direction and I’m all for it

[Cake_]

What i'd call Edging was that Box Mistery in FNaF 4, 8 Years and all we get is "I forgor" 💀
(Okay, he obviously didn't forget what's inside the box, but yeah, y'all get it)

"Corporate edging" - RyeToast
Edit after watching the video: Why are the to Paper Pals for Freddy and Bonnie black. Shadow aminotronics origin?

[boollye]

not gonna lie, the one thing that is getting me from the teaser is the usage of My Grandfather's Clock. out of every single song in the world, they specifically chose the one that, in the context of FNAF, is so closely connected to the Puppet. it was used in the movie credits to tease the Puppet, even!!

it feels like a very deliberate choice, and I can't help but think that these two characters are very closely connected somehow. moreso, that using Grandfather's Clock in the teaser for the Mimic game, that is going all the way back to the origins of Fazbear Entertainment, connects the Mimic to Henry in specific.

I personally don't think Tales is in the same continuity as the games, and I'll continue to believe that Edwin is the books' stand-in for Henry until and if Secret of the Mimic proves me wrong. You can draw parallels there -- Edwin is a brilliant engineer who has been into robotics since young, who worked for Fazbear Entertainment in the 70s by making animatronics out of the costumes they gave him (and The Mimic story references he was working on a yellow chick, a pirate fox and a blue bunny. The original crew, animatronics we know were made by Henry in the games); who made a robot to watch over his young child while he worked, a child that died tragically. It SOUNDS familiar.

but the one thing that caught my attention? it's how the Mimic1 program in Tales assumes the form of a tiger, in reference to David'd favorite plush when he was alive. it makes me think of all those weird Nightmarionne plushies that are EVERYWHERE in the Pizzaplex in Security Breach for no apparent reason, all the Staffbots that look like Nightmarionne, even that random post-it room that has several of their heads piled up in the corners. if the Mimic in the games was created by Henry, and Tales just establishes a parallel, well, wouldn't it make sense for it to be connected to the Puppet in that way, considering who it was made for?

[piercelindenberg]

The idea of Fredbear’s having three characters, one being the Mimic, isn’t a bad one. I like it a lot. I do think it should be more like four original characters, with the Puppet’s FNAF 6 minigame implying it’s been around for a long, long time. But this video is about the Mimic, not the Puppet.
Edit. I just remembered that we never did get an explanation for where Ennard’s mask came from, as it’s only seen in the primary control module. There aren’t any posters that advertise a character with it. And the jester mask we see in the box in the trailer looks so much like it! If you’re correct that the Mimic was originally meant to be a character at Circus Baby’s….
On a related, creepy note, if Gregbot’s theory’s been busted, then why was Vanessa buying lifelike rubber masks and what were those animatronic heads in the CBEAR control module for?

[bigpoggers]

I've NEVER been edged and then baited harder then there being a box playing the Puppet music only for it to be a fucking Mimic game, I thought my goat was coming back, I'm still incredibly hyped though

[flawiadeluce]

No cause ive been saying that since the trailer dropped, the mimic looks so similar to the funtimes and has the vertical split too fbdbd i feel like it could be the costume we are shoved into by baby in fnaf sl

[lieeeleeee]

The Julius Caesar quote is very Henry and William coded. I agree that it’s just referencing the mimics whole deal, that the good intentions it was made with has been forgotten. But it’s also really interesting to think about the betrayal angle with William and Henry.

(Side note I always love when you use pumpkin hill in your videos)

[metalmk]

i personally, myself want to see a Young Michael Afton as the protagonist for this new game.
It will a excellent opportunity to flesh out his character with new voice lines

[elmtree]

Speaking of Steel Wool's movie references, the "new nightmare" phrase used in the tag line is totally a reference to Wes Cranven's New Nightmare. it's one of the sequels to Nightmare on Elm Street but super meta -- the movie is about the actress from the first film preparing to make a new movie about Freddy Krueger but he starts haunting her irl and puts her son in danger. The script of the movie itself end up being a plot point, that's how meta it is. The whole concept is reminiscent of the beginning of Help Wanted, so if it is a reference it's a neat one, maybe could have something to do with the plot of this game?

[anjellogames]

The paper pals wasn’t even a first thought. It would be insane how Fazbear Entertainment has created games to make light of the “events” but then to COMPLETELY disregard an ENTIRE animatronic?!? There’s a lot more we’re going to learn and I can’t wait to see what Steel Wool Studios is cooking!

[synderthmc]

I thought the quote referred specifcally to Edwin. He made animatronics for the joy of kids and the mimic was made to play with his son. But because of his anger and grief, he created a monster that outlived him and any good deed

[nyxxexists]

Theory time: The mimic smacking bro into the wall was him mimicing a police officer breaking down the door, likely for a domestic dispute.

[loganentertainment]

Am I the only one that thinks the name should be Secrets of The Mimic, not Secret of the Mimic. Because it makes it sound like the Mimic has 1 secret, not more than 1?

Still, I’m excited to see what the game has to offer, and I hope it’ll properly clarify things, so that even people who don’t read the books, will understand what and who The Mimic is. 🙏🤔😀👍
