I don't come up with the excuses to post these pictures, they just come to me…

For the upcoming release of FFXII in PAL territories, Patrick Stewart has been selected to do the voice overs for the commercials.

In addition to Mr. Picard's voice, the people of London get a midnight launch event with the executive producer and director of the game.  The event will hand out such goodies as Moogles and soundtracks to the first 100 purchasers, and a contest for best FF-related costume.

Of course, the important part to note about this entire article is the fact that Mr. Picard was involved, and that my friend, is great news.
