  • When one feels there’s nothing left to aim for, their soul falls down to Hell.

Trivia

  • The collective theme of the Abnormalities of this floor in some way reflect killing innocents, whether it be out of urge or necessity.
  • According to Yesod, some of the moving gears found in the background of this Floor "don't quite mesh well together", producing loud noises which Yesod finds irritating.

Behind the scenes

  • The background art for the Floor of Technological Sciences' story scenes was changed during development. The original image had disorganized bookshelves, while the new background showed all of the room's shelves neatly organized. This was done to better match Yesod's personality, as developers felt the original did not fit his organized manner.[1] The other noticeable change is that in the newer background, the crescent on the tower outside the window also glows, and the entire window is brightened.
