Default Minatodai Dormitory?
Hey, guys. I recently noticed in the game at the wall in the dormitory that says ''Minatodai Dormitory''. Image down here:


I just want to know: what about Iwatodai Dormitory?
Which one is the official name?

I hope you answer... since sometimes when I do a thread, no one answers.

Honestly, I have no idea.
It does explain where the idea for the name Minato came from, though.

Maybe it was called that in the Japanese version?

or maybe it was originally named Minatodai Dormitory but changed to Iwatodai Dormitory during development but they forgot to change the text there?

I would guess that's just a case of bad Romanization on Atlus JP's part.

Perhaps, its a pun relating to Arisato Minato but I could be wrong..

It would be cool if an admin could answer... I'm sure they found the thread. It's a mistery I want to solve .

The city where the story takes place is called Minato-ku, so maybe it's just like what Kimidori said.
