A question about Springtrap

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

This is about his Phantoms and a possible weakness. They pop up at random, we clearly see this happen in game so why isn't it listed as a weakness. It is either that or they aren't under his control at all and are just an effect caused by the constant ventilation errors (After all, the phone guy did make a comment on it).

The most important thing you want to watch for is the ventilation. Look this place will give you the spooks man and if you let that ventilation go offline then you'll see some crazy stuff ma

Plus we don't see The Phantoms at all in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and for insult to injury there is no information in the games hinting that he is behind the creation of The Phantoms iirc. For what I'm seeing, here are the options.

A. Not have them at all since they are things that come from an outside source.

or B. We have the fact they pop up at random a notable weakness for Springtrap.

Regarding anyone that will mention UCN. That is more of a void-like space created by The One You Shouldn't Have Killed that somewhat resembles all the other locations that appear in the series, not Fazbear's Fright itself.

Pretty sure them being random would just be considered PIS/Game Mechanics

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Why?

 

[Soupywolf5]

Mainly due to the fact that the game would be literally impossible if the phantoms were just spammed, and there have already been discussions on whether Springtrap should have the phantoms, and a compromise was reached to put them down as possibly

 

[Soupywolf5]

Also in fnaf 3 your able to turn off the errors making them no longer occur, and yet the phantoms are still able to appear

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Who knows, maybe the systems are that bad, the phone guy did say that the equipment is barely functional

 

[Soupywolf5]

Then they would appear on night 1, but they don't, they only show up on night 2 with the inclusion of Springtrap (And night 1 always has some sort of danger in it, so there would be no reason for the phantoms to not appear unless the person who controls them wasn't there)

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

So he apparently does have control over them, but he doesn't spam them in character. That still doesn't explain how they don't appear in FFPS.

 

[Soupywolf5]

Most likely also PIS, due to Scott not wanting to include the phantoms in FFPS
