Better known as Star Trek's Captain Jean-Luc Picard and/or the X-Men films' Professor Xavier, this is not the first time the bald British actor has brushed with the medium of video games (or RPGs for that matter) - apart from providing voicework for game adaptations of his acting roles, last year's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion also saw him in the esteemed role of Emperor Uriel Septim VII.
As part of the advertising campaign, a midnight launch at HMV on London's Oxford Street will also play host to fans having their questions answered and copies of the game signed by executive producer and director Akitoshi Kawazu and Hiroshi Minagawa respectively - not to mention prizes given for the best fan costumes, and limited edition soundtracks and Moogles (!) handed out to the first 100 people who buy the game.
Beginning February 19, the ad campaign hopes to elicit some final interest before the latest instalment of the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XII, is released on the PS2 in PAL territories on February 23. Finally.
