I might keep going. The aesthetic is really nice and I hear it's a shorter RPG.
I can't remember how many hours it took me to finish it by it might be Bioware's shortest game

Tiger Style is overpowered to the point of being kind of imbalanced, just because it's the only fighting style that automatically advances/moves forward on the enemy. I remember when I played I invested in some other style, maxed it out, then discovered mid game that a non-leveled up Tiger Style is better than most (if not all) the other styles fully upgraded.
But, yeah, you should definitely take Tiger Style regardless, as combat can get tedious without it (especially the Arena battles).
Why would anyone want to play jade empire for the fights is beyond me. Button mashing combat with no challenge is no fun after all.
I'm primarily using the bo, since my hand attacks were always not reaching the enemy due to my own lack of ability to judge distance in this game I guess. The bo pops moles from a comfortable distance. Only issue is the stupid undead somehow can only be hit by a hand, not wood.
Can't say I remember any specific martial style being much better than the others. Easiest way to win is to do the harmonic combos, which instantly kill any non-boss character and forces a drop of a chi/focus powerup so you can get back to using the much more imbalanced weapons and transformations and thingies. Waiting for the slow as hell regeneration from followers or the chi-stealing style is for chumps.

Nah, tiger style is definitely the best. Like I said, it automatically advances towards the enemy by a step with every move, so you can just spam the common attack over and over and the enemies don't have time to react. Even if they block, they will unblock eventually and then they are toast. None of the other starting styles have that "moving forward by a step with every hit" component so they are much easier to counter than tiger style. The other styles do require strategy to get by (especially on hard), but tiger style is so overpowered that it really does turn the game into a mindless button masher.
Well, it's not for the fights, really. They're just trying to make those less boring, so that they can properly enjoy the original story, deep characters and an imaginative setting all brought to life by a writer behind such masterpieces as NWN, KotOR and Mass Effect 2. And who wouldn't, really?
