To celebrate the launch of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, Tokyo Skytree launched an event titled “SKYTREE® in MIDGAR FINAL FANTASY Ⅶ REMAKE.” However, due to the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the event and tower had to close on March 1, 2020.
But Tokyo Skytree still wants people to enjoy the event in some way, and so they have decided on something super special that is sure to please fans. Originally, there was an original FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE video created exclusively for Tokyo Skytree which was being shown up in the tower’s TEMBO DECK, 350 meters in the air. It’s called FINAL FANTASY VII PREMIUM ROUND THEATER, and you can now watch it over on Tokyo Skytree’s official YouTube channel. It’s available to watch until June 1, 2020 at 11:00 (JST).
Have you played FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE yet? Be sure to check out this exclusive content before you have to travel to Tokyo to see it!

Yoshitaka Amano, known by international fans as the artist behind the legendary Final Fantasy video game series, is celebrating his 70th birthday with a unique art project in Kyoto. The exhibition will be held at Myoshin-ji, the head temple of the associated branch of Rinzai Zen Buddhism. Stepping into the temple, guests will be met with colorful autumn leaves and a sea of gold and blue art pieces. “I want people to enter this world of light and experience being part of it,” Amano said. “Rather than art being something flat on a wall, I want to present something new and unique.” This collection of works was designed to question visitors’ sensibilities and provide a new kind of art exhibition for fans to enjoy. The main art piece, newly painted by Amano himself, will be on display in the Dharma Hall, which was decorated by one of Kano Tan’yu’s masterpieces. Tan’yu was an Edo-period painter.
The three meter tall column features Amano’s own interpretation of Hiten, part of Mount Meru, a part of Buddhism cosmology considered to be the centre of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes. Four smaller pieces will be displayed on all four sides to create a three-dimensional mandala. Information
