Oh that's a very handy background in games; are you working on something you'd be willing to share at the moment? Would love to see some of your work.
Considering the details, I haven't come up with much more than what is depicted on the intro you just watched; the king's brother, the Advisor wanted the throne for himself, so he sacrificed the most noble / honest / pure / just soul in the kingdom, the Captain of the Royal Guards, to a great Evil force in exchange for unfathomable magical powers in order to achieve it. Included in his new spell arsenal is a Transformation spell - sort of a Polymorph but the result can be even inanimate objects.
Now every living being has a Qi; an inner source of power which can not be torn away from it, regardless of the form it takes. This is how our heroes move around, by focusing their inner strength and just propeling themselves forward, as if an inexplicable force is applied to them. Also, everyone of us has the potential for greatness, visualised in-game as "The Favor of the Elements"; four of these 8 elements have been unlocked by our heroes through their determination and unwillingness to give up, symbolized by the 4 letters inscribed on their coins. Specifically, the elements were Earth, Heaven, Fire and Lightning.
The Ancient chinese used the 8 elements' combinations for divination purposes (advising concerning one's future) and it was a great source of inspiration for the power ups of this game. I used 4 of these combinations:

) and I'll probably turn the double full stops into ellipsis (that's what they were supposed to be). I'm still torn between Capitalizing coins or not - they are a main focus of the game.. maybe I'll just
bold them?
Cheers for the feedback and hope I didn't give you details to the point of boring you
