The IGN review video shows that Himiko has a persona and that the last leader is Jose Rizal!

Prussia confirmed in Nookrium's video. Around 5:29 in video.

Man it feels so good to have been right all along, LOL

Also excited about the twist of it being Prussia and getting a double persona for Frederick though.

Which video is this from?

 

[Potworny]

I'm so glad that I wasn't totally spreading misinformation with my theorycrafting about Prussia lol

I may have even predicted that Siam's colors in the game guide were Rizal's, but we will see

Himeko got the two personas? Now that's a surprise. What could they have possibly based them on?

That's Boesthius' preview (timestamped link). I'll update my comment with the link too

Possibly
Historical ( leader of a strong state out of several in ancient Japan)
v
Mythical (founder of the Japanese imperial dynasty)

Possibly
Historical ( leader of one of multiple strong states in Japan)
v
Mythical (founder of the Japanese imperial dynasty)

I expect political and religious.

I did actually think to myself after posting that it could be something similar to this. There's a dispute over where her kingdom was (Kyushu or Kansai?) where the former seems more likely to be historical while the latter ties into later mythical ideas about her connection to the imperial family and the proto-Japanese state. I guess if you're going to include a leader so poorly documented leaning into the myths might work.

Another warboy, I wonder which persona is vanilla and which is Deluxe/Founders?

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

So that dream about Jose Rizal was right? And it was Prussia, all along. Sorry to steal your thunder @Eagle Pursuit.

I think Jose Rizal might want to stay in SEA or possibly go from Hawaii and Mexico as well, based off of what I know about the Philippines. Spanish speaking islands in the Pacific.

I'm really happy It's Prussia and not Germany (tho again a bit worrying in that the 4th age shenanigans just keep piling up).

and no latin american or mesoamerican leader...bummer.

 

[Connor_CivFan]

The lack of a germany and britain definitely gives fourth age vibes, along with other civ inconsistencies (ie French Empire)

 

[Xandinho]

Prussia instead of Germany? sighs of a fourth era.

At least 4th age speculation will be fun
