| | IGN: Jade Empire Preview |
 | | Team Jade spent a lot of time researching Asian folklore (not just Chinese) to make certain they pulled the best elements from as many sources as possible to create an authentic, but original creation. |
 | | The philosophical underpinnings of Jade come mainly from China's three classic novels, Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Journey to the West, but there are numerous other influences. |
 | | Though Jade shares the spirit of a wuxia film, with magic, mystery, and mysticism at its core, there are, apparently, no battles in the bamboo forest, no gliding along the air, no masterful wallruns. |
