# There have been debates as to whether 2032 is the actual year of the game's setting as the manual has never clearly stated this to be so. It is only given that the World Coalition Government was formed in January 12th 2032, and as the game progresses, the possibility of the in-game storyline actually being set in 2032 gets lesser.

* There's something like a Daodan "aura". You can see it when being over-powered or when using the cheat "chenille". That let you guess that it is a bio-electric field which concentrated Daodan particles. It's always there but not visible all the time. Now the theory is that Mai feels Mukade's field or his particles like pheromones or both.
