[LP] Leader Spotlight: Sejong

[Laurana Kanan]

The Scholar

I am Sejong, the bringer of calm order where once was violent division.​

​

If the people prosper, how can the king not prosper with them. And if the people do not prosper, how may the king prosper without them.​

Not bad... I expected memeably bad voice like civ 5. Glad his voice is on par as Seondok.
Definitely better than civ 5 counterpart.

Sort of looks like he's wearing a bulletproof vest under there.

Like the book, gives him an appropriate scholarly leader vibe. Will he and Kristina get along or hate each other? We'll have to see with their agendas.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Although what the hell is he talking about division? There was very little division during his reign so...

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

His voice is about what I expected.

 

[Josephias]

Factions are indeed diferentiated from Yongle, but… ¿it’s just me or he has a Rowan Atkinson (aka. Mr. Bean) vibe, at least in the still photos?

I expected worse...

I would assume he is referring to some time prior to his reign.

Maybe with the beard and the smug smile he reminds you of Lord Edmund Blackadder?

Nope there was never a division...
Although his father king taejong did do a two uprising called "rise of princes"... in which he fought amongst his brothers.

An asian Blackadder, but yes, that is the vibe (maybe a bit more good-hearted as Bean, but still a bit mischevious)

 

[Laurana Kanan]

I'm no expert, but the book he's holding does not look like what the traditional style would be at that time.

Also, noticed his belt accents changed from jade in the stills & video thumbnail to silver/grey in the video animations.

Oddly Sejong was anything but mischievous.

It is probably a reference to how Korea was finally united under the Joseon period.

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

I cannot but feel that there is a lot of things that seem off.

First, his beard: is it me or does it inflate weirdly when he talks.

Then, the book: when he put his fingers on it, it doesn't touch it. I find it very flagrant but it might only be me. The book also seems very plastic. Like, I don't think it could be possible for Sejong to even turn the pages. Like, soooooo far from Kristina's book.

The moves of the hands is convincing, though, and the rest is quite pleasant.

However, I cannot but say that, from the beginning even and confirmed right now, that Sejong is, in my senses, nothing as a "clone" to Yongle, even far from it. They're very distinct from one another. Faces completely different.

I mean to me it's still somewhat similar, but they look more different in his movement than his stills.

Wrong! Korea was never divided before Joseon. Goryeo- predecessor of Joseon- already did all of unification. Joseon was created under basically military uprising by Sejong's grandfather Taejo

It's quite clear they used an edited Yongle model for him. So I approve all the Yongle Persona jokes

I am not quite sure if it is true... when they didn't for other models.

Either way, Goryeo was a client state of the Yuan Dynasty/Mongolia and was in turmoil in the last years before the uprising.
