Exclusive: FFXII television ad

Patrick Stewart on EGTV.

Eurogamer TV is hosting the worldwide online premiere of the Final Fantasy XII television advert this afternoon, which features the voice of none other than the legendary hairless wonder, Patrick Stewart.

His vocals announce the new Square Enix title that's launching across Europe on 23rd February, as a cinematic introduction to the game plays fantastically before our eyes.

If you're getting as excited as we are, then feel free to pop your fancy-dress togs on and head to the London launch event at Oxford Street's HMV, which is running between 12pm and 2pm on the 23rd.

Get in line early enough and you could be rewarded with some game-related prizes, ranging from signed copies of the game to cuddly toys.

We were bowled over with the latest instalment to the spectacularly popular Final Fantasy series, awarding it with the highest possible mark. Head over to our review to see just how pleased we were with it.

Make sure you don't forget to watch that exclusive video. Did we already say it was exclusive?
