** The tai chi parks featured in the game manage to be anachronistic for all the time periods covered by the story. Although the exact origin of tai chi remains blurred, most sources agreed its development as a standardized martial art traces at the very least to the Ming dynasty, if not even later, and it didn't even receive the general name of "tai chi" until the mid-19th century of all times. Furthermore, the image of the art reflected in the game, with a crowd of random-looking people peacefully doing ''taolu'' in the open, comes obviously from the art's 20th century incarnation, when tai chi as a whole became popular as a form of exercise and moving meditation that is often practiced in parks. Before that, practice of tai chi should have been undistinguishable of any other Chinese martial art - that is, warriors beating the crap out of each other in schools and training with weapons.
