One of the racial traits is "Inner Peace", which is the major theme of KFP2!

Ham-fisted borderline-racist mystic oriental-alikes is a fairly standard fantasy trope too, to be honest.

Yes - but the actual words "Inner Peace" are used to describe what Po is looking for - repeatedly, as the main theme.

Of course, they may both be using the same sources. But I'm sceptical...

I was tacitly accusing both WoW and Kung Fu Panda (without having seen it, I admit) or the same treatment of certain Chinese values and ideologies to be honest.

Regardless of originality, it has mystic pandas, ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I don't find mystic pandas any stranger than werewolves in top hats, or the sexy undead models they use. Or, indeed, Orks with machine guns :->
