The Kingdom Hearts franchise is celebrating its 15th anniversary this January and Square Enix is commemorating the event with a fancy display in Japan and a special memorabilia giveaway. The display can be found at the Tokyo Metro Marunouchisen Shinjuku Station Metro Promenade and includes a large memorial stained glass clock surrounded by 12 smaller stained glass pieces to mark each hour. All 13 of the pieces will be be part of a Twitter giveaway after the memorial is done being displayed.

In addition to the memorial stained glass clock, Square Enix is celebrating Kingdom Hearts’ 15th anniversary with a video display featuring memorable moments from the franchise and a countdown to the launch of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue. The remastered collection is scheduled to release on January 12th as a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
