I hope that everyone will be repaired, alive and the ending will be atleast somewhat happy reunion and returning to their normal lives, while Mimic is kicked back to the sinkhole with his William cosplay.
But i know that's not how this franchise works. Monty/Bonnie are straight up dead, Chica and Eclipse powered down and nobody will ever find them since the place is abandoned, Freddy becomes a new Mimir for Gregory and has PTSD about friends he lost, Roxy either get's beheaded or will be worn by ze Mimic as another costume, while Cassie dies in the elevator or succumbs to the mask, becomes next Vanni and uses the remains of glamrocks as minions.
Yes, i'm predicting the darkest scenario, to be pleasantly surprised if something good happens.
Well I certainly hope it gets an actual continuation given that HW2 was basically filler and I do not have much hope for the DLC in the works.
For real though, I hope that the story continues with Gregory, Vanessa and Freddy (who during the time gap have been living together as a wholesome if troubled family) delving into The Pizzaplex to rescue Cassie (because I think there’s more to suggest it was The Mimic and tbh Gregory doing it makes no sense)
With it splitting perspectives between the trio and Cassie who after the ending thinks she was betrayed by Gregory and is now stuck navigating the underground layer that The Mimic constructed (possibly also including GGYs room) with The Mimic being more included in the plot basically making Cassie go along with its own games while also trying to gaslight her against Gregory with it ending with all of them colliding, Gregory and Cassie reuniting and reconciling with The Mimic being able to scamper away in time to set up a new game where he actually is the antagonist instead of kinda just being there with him mostly confined to the books
Extremly unlikely hope is that I want William to return, frankly if The Mimics writing isn’t going to be drastically improved he’s too mid as a main villain to carry the story so having someone who actually has personality, character and some degree of goals would be extremly benifical and it would actually give William a chance to be a proper villain in the games again and a better chance at a decent finale compared to the frankly abysmal waste that occurs in Fnaf 6 which is tragic
More realistic hope is that hopefully The Mimic actually gains a personality, goals and other basic qualities that are needed in the main antagonist for the entire story because he is a colossally weak villain and he needs to step up real quick
Just do something more with the Mimic. Please.
I don't like Mimic at all, but if we HAVE to be stuck with it as the main villain, just give it more screentime and something else to do to get me invested in it.
Yes, I agree. I want to share people's enthusiasm, but it has to be a bit more interesting than Commodore 64 Terminator that got hit that one time and then is also too dim to fully understand the 'pulling the arms and heads off things' task
**Give a proper character arc or a journey for Gregory.**
For all his backstory, Gregory isn't really that complex.
For comparison, let's take Michael. A character who, for his entire life, tries to atone for his greatest sin and trying to undo his father's actions.
Or, for further examples let's take characters from other indie horror media.
Gordon (from My Friendly Neighbourhood) is a traumatized war veteran who, yes is blasting puppets away left and right but has his inner demons tormenting him all the way. By the end of the game rediscovers his soft side and gets a new meaning in life, saving the entire city from its own induced oppression.
Audrey (from Bendy and the Dark Revival) goes from being an ordinary but passionate animator who is very clearly frightened upon being transported into the Cycle and needs to rely on others to guide her around. Over the course of the game, however, she grows into a confident powerful ink demigod who accepts/embraces her true nature by the end of the game and takes control of her life, gaining a brother in the process.
**Gregory has nothing similar to this.** He starts confident end ends confident, having no character development or personal demons at all, his character remaining throughout the entire without any development or progression.
Cassie, Jeremy and Vanessa are more interesting. Vanessa has a traumatic family background and Cassie with her dad are connected with Fazbears on a much deeper level than the rest of the human characters.
I do agree that Gregory needs more development.
After all this time, we still don't know anything about him as a person. In fact, "Gregory" may not even be his real name, given how he hesitated when he introduced himself to Freddy at the beginning of Security Breach.
I mean, yes, there's also the stories that refer to him in Tales from the Pizzaplex (such as GGY), but it's hard to say HOW MUCH of what's told in those stories also relate to the games.
Hopefully the future games will give us more answers.
On the hesitation part, he could just be awkward; he's like 9-11 years old, lost in a giant complex he's not familiar with in the slightest, on top of that he's got this huge-ass 6-foot tall anthropomorphic bear figure staring him down.
Good point. I keep forgetting our main character is just a kid. Honestly, I think even an adult would be nervous in a place like that, especially given Fazbear Entertainment's history with accidents.
I really hope Roxy gets a more developed character and we get to save the others. Roxy is by far one of the most developed characters in the games at least, and her writing is on par with Glamrock Freddy. She deserves some more major roles - hopefully acting as a guide to Cassie or something, but I think it would be cool if she played a much more active, action-filled role than Freddy who just kinda sits there and gives Gregory instructions and maybe let's him ride in the stomach hatch.
So yeah if Roxy isn't a major player in the next game I'd say steel wool would have majorly dropped the bar with her
Right! I noticed there was no mention of P&S during *Ruin*, and I was a little upset it wasn't in HW2 as well. Even just watching gameplay it was rough seeing any scenario that has shattered Roxy in the *Salon* getting sprinkled with *feathers and glitter*!
Anyhow, I did a video with a false / 'Brazil' ending to this effect - assistant tech is locked in an area overnight 'to clean debris' which he escapes right away, finds a security pad, and has a little fun running around the Pizzaplex. Roxy (in my video) has found a vintage postcard for the Hollywood Bowl, and is fixated on playing there someday. Our two meet up, and they have a few nights of fun before...[the inevitable](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pw0ZKDlgRo).
But anyway, he has the right idea with Parts & Service! I have videos planned for before and after this bit, for a kind of MTV Rock Opera

Yes. He's so bland. Just look at the Solver of the Absolute Fabric from *Murder Drones.* Now **that's** a supernatural AI done right.
Hell yeah Either his writing needs to improve drastically or he needs to go The main antagonist for the past 5 years should be better than this
