For just one night only, Japan’s iconic Tokyo Tower will light up in a Crystal Tower-themed blue in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series!

Tokyo Tower will be shedding its orange hue on the night of April 28th to be illuminated just like the Crystal Tower that appears in Final Fantasy III. The special light-up will begin at 7PM, transforming Tokyo into the Surface World for four hours until 11PM.

But the celebration of the Final Fantasy series’ commendable milestone doesn’t stop there. Along with the illumination, the Tokyo Tower will also be hosting projection mapping shows until May 7th titled the “4D Battle Projection.” Shows will be held in the Main Observatory, and visitors will get the chance to view scenes from the series over the night time panorama of the metropolis, as well as battles of FF bosses that descend upon Tokyo.

Those thinking of heading to the event will want to go early, as visitors will get a special FFRK Deluxe Postcard as a first-come first-served souvenir. But for fans who miss out on this freebie, the venue will also have a premium gift shop packed with limited edition FF goods. A deluxe shopping bag will be gifted to customers who make a purchase of over 2,000 yen (US$18), but we really don’t think we need a reason to splurge on some rare memorabilia.
