Final Fantasy Type-0 HD hits Steam in August

Pre-purchase to get a Master Chocobo as your Dota 2 courier.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD comes out on Steam on 18th August.

Fancy a Chocobo as your courier in Dota 2? Of course you do.

Square Enix said the Steam version of the fantasy role-playing game has an improved in-game battle camera, full Steam achievements and trading cards, scalable motion blur settings and a customisable dynamic screen shot mode. There's also controller support and upgraded graphics resolution levels.

There's also a curious crossover with Valve's MOBA, Dota 2. If you pre-purchase Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on Steam you get the Master Chocobo as your courier and Moogle (Class Zero) as your ward in Dota 2, as well as a Final Fantasy Type-0 HD loading screen.
