Why is Phone Guy’s audio the call from night one in Five Nights at Freddy's, as opposed to new audio specific to custom night?
Scott didn't have enough time to record lines himself?
If we go with the "this is William's Hell/Michael's Purgatory" theory, then it makes sense for the animatronics to be taunting you, but Phone Guy is an actual person whose spirit is probably not wherever you are, so his audio is just a recording of what you remember instead of him talking to you directly.
While there is still no new audio, there are actually Phone Guy calls from all 3 games!
Mr. Hippo and His Speech
I was gonna post this under Fridge Logic or Fridge Humour but while Mr. Hippo's little speech is humorous on its own, and leans to the fourth wall and more of a message to the player, considering the context, what is the significance of his speech In-Universe ? I can't help but imagine that if these are demons tormenting William in Hell, I just find one going on a speech such as that to him to halirious to get out of my head, especially wen I wonder why it would make such a speech, what William and possibly other observing demons would make of it.
Mr. Hippo and his stories are meant to be Scott's light jab at the Epileptic Trees-style theorists who over-analyse every aspect of the lore. Mr. Hippo even has a linenote I said, 'Orville, I...I have a story.' And he said to me, 'What's the significance of the story?' And...I said to him, 'Orville, not every story has to have significance, y'know? Sometimes, a...y'know, sometimes, a story's just a story. You try to read into every little thing, and find meaning in everything anyone says, you'll just drive yourself crazy. Had a friend do it once. Wasn't pretty. We talked about it for years. And then not only that, but...you'll likely end up believing something you shouldn't believe, thinking something you shouldn't think, o-o-or assuming something you shouldn't assume. Y'know? Sometimes,' I said, 'a story is-is just a story, so just be quiet for one second of your life and eat your sandwich, okay?' where he outright states that not all stories need to have significance, and that sometimes you shouldn't think so deep about things that are shallower than they seem.
Suddenly voiced?
Why does Withered Chica speak, but the original Chica doesn't? You'd think it would be the other way around.
Pretty sure it's either for continuity reasons or as a throwback to the first game's atmosphere. In UCN, Foxy is the only one of the original Fazbear gang who gets the chance to speak, likely as a reference to him singing his little "dum dum dum" song in a human-sounding voice whereas the other animatronics, aside from their screams, simply uttered ghostly noises (Bonnie and Chica's groans, Freddy and Golden Freddy's laughters) or Black Speech.
It might also be a clever reference (whether it was intentional or not) to the fact that Withered Chica represents the first Chica model before she was re-constructed to look like she did in FNAF 1. She was the first victim, so it makes sense to have her first form say that line.
2 comes before 1 in the games' timeline. The Withered animatronics existed first, then became the 'regular' animatronics later. Since WC existed before RC, it makes sense the line about being the first is attached to WC. Besides that one, all of the other lines specifically tie in to WC's behaviour and her being withered, so they'd make no sense for RC.
Suddenly mute?
How come Toy Bonnie is the only member of the Toy gang to not have his own voice actor?
Why do people still believe that Lolbit isn't a canon character? I thought it being in Sister Location was a pretty clear indication that it's a Canon Character All Along and not just some Easter Egg cameo. Scott never makes anything not important (which is a thing that people should realise by now), so it just feels like people just write Lolbit out of canon for being from a "dumb game". Which still doesn't really make sense to me. Plus, it torments William in hell in UCN which basically confirms that it's canon. Otherwise, it wouldn't be tormenting him...
My interpretation has been that Lolbit isn't quite a character, per se, in that she doesn't have a corresponding animatronic that gets up and walks and talks like all the others. She's either A) a software "ghost" affecting general systems (in a slightly more traditional take on a Malevolent A.I.), B) just the icon Fazbear Entertainment uses for technical difficulties, or C) some combination thereof.
Lolbit is in the same boat as 4's halloween characters. Their debut appearances were definitively stated as not canon, but they've since appeared in installments that are canon, and Scott hasn't elaborated at all to fix the Ambiguous Situation dilemmas that happen as a result. Was Lolbit canon in SL? No, because he appears only as an Easter Egg and in a segment that was confirmed to not be canon. Is she canon in this game? Who knows?
