Shame he seems to have put no effort into that ad(sounds very lazy), I guess he doesn't need to since people will pay him good money just to talk like himself!

He rocks =)

The FMV on that looks awesome as usual - I may pick this up at some point - first FF game since 9 I'd have bought!

the voice doesn't match the game, why couldn't they just get the guy to narates the 'chapters' in-game to do it :P

That was...awful. Not the game scenes. They look truly immaculate. But Stewie sounded like a T-Rex was around and about him, and he couldn't move/talk too loud in case he got spotted....

Patrick Stewart's voice: "Don't forget I also do the voice of the Emperor on next-gen rpg Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. God I'm popular at the moment. Anyway... what was I saying... Ah yes, BUY FINAL FANTASY XII - Make it so!"

Not to mention he always plays Prof. Xavier in all the X-Men movies.

The voice is awesome. It seems emotionless but when he says "armageddon" and "world" there is this subtle trembling of the voice that makes my spine tingle. It's like in God of War after you beat Hydra and Kratos is talking with Athena, the VA conveys a god seemingly emotionless but the tremble at "great city fall", especially "fall", is so subtle, yet powerful, that it's just pure win to me.

I want FFXII, but I'll get it somewhere around summer since I don't have enough money and it may go down in price. I need God Hand.

I could have sworn I saw this 'exclusive' on terrestrial TV a few day ago.

Anyway, looking good never-the-less. Puts a few of the pedesrian next-gen efforts to shame.

I was excited at the prospect of Patrick Stewart voicing a FF advert but just hearing it now... something's not quite right.

i will buy this game after i finish okami, someone else has also said this. i think this must be popular opinion.

As much as I like Patrick, his voice over really doesn't work with the TV ad.

Getting off Patrick stewart for a moment, does anybody else think it's stupid when an advertisement for a game comprises entirely of clip scenes?

especially when the clip scenes are far above the quality of the actual in-game graphics (not saying they're bad just not as good)

seems almost like false advertising...yet its not :S
