What do yo guys think of Minato's movie name? I would guess if another persona 3 game came out that required a name they would use Makoto...

But still, i think it's a pretty good name even if i did prefer his manga alias. Please correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't his name kinda translate to Brave Protector??

Anyways, Opinions?

Thing is I think the major change of the name is because "Yuuki" will have different personality and charatristics from Minato.

Minato in the manga is usually lazy, he's a comedian at sometimes and doesnt talk a lot.

so if they named him minato ppl would assume he would have to act as the manga, which is why they gave him a new name and therefore he is a different protagnist now.

Atleast thats what I think why they changed it...but in terms of names, Minato Arisato fits way more than Makoto Yuuki.

Minato.
Makoto is too commonplace for Minato.

I kinda agree, but i think Makoto Yuuki is one of the best names they could've changed it to. i wouldn't mind giving hi a new identity from the manga... if only there was more of it translated.

Minato because I'm used to it. But, why are they always changing names of main characters? What's the point?

Minato..............Makoto Yuki doesn't make much of an impact.

Yu Narokami was awesome though. But they should have Kept Minato Arisato for P3.

That's because ATLUS is not connected to production of either animated series or manga. These are independent projects and it would actually probably stir up trouble if they were to name him Minato in the anime.

I'm personally a fan of Minato as well, but it doesn't mean they're going to change it. It's also important to give it some time. Everyone was mad when they announced P4's protagonist to be named Narukami Yu instead of Seta Souji, but that quickly faded. I agree that Makoto Yuki doesn't sound quite as good, however it's doubtful they'll change if it's not just a stand-in name.

Well, I'll just state personal opinions. But I'm going with Minato Arisato, hands down. I don't know. I kinda don't really liked the Yuuki part. Sigh. Minato was the perfect for him. But well, let's just see.

I like it, but mainly because I have a soft spot for "Yuki" and "Yuuki". Likewise for Narukami.

Don't like it. I don't know I'm just always being reminded of a certain horndog whenever I see the name Makoto. And Yuuki's a bit .. I dunno, girly?

Is there a problem for a guy to have a feminine SOUNDING family name?

Anyway, I never really acknowledged Minato Arisato as his "real" name. Especially when you consider that the manga was not canon in the first place. Just like Seta Souji.

Makoto Yuuki is very fitting, especially when it fits extremely well into the P3 setting. Would have been funny if the canon name was Kitaro instead though.

Nah, Just sayin' . Then again, Kitaro is even worse.

Minato Arisato was perfect.
Makoto Yuuki sounds too generic.

I prefer Minato by far. Mind you, it's what I'm used to calling him, but I also do believe that Minato Arisato is easier to say, due to both last name and first name ending on 'ato'. Gives the name such a great flow.

Well, how about Yuuki Rito (To Love Ru) or Yuki Judai (Yu-Gi-Oh GX) ? That's not sound bad or girly I think.
But I agree that Makoto is too generic.

I like Arisato Minato better, but Yuki Makoto is not as bad as some people complaining (not here).
It may take some time before we get used to it.

It's kind of funny how people wont let this character be named Makoto because of School Days.

Let it go its a completely different thing.

Nameless protagonist is nameless, whoever can call him whatever. He has no name. And to get butthurt because he shares a name with the MC of a VN that nobody cares about anymore shows that you arent real persona fans.

They could call him Naruto and I would still support them.

I'll choose Minato Arisato coz... you know the name "Makoto" brings back awful memories of some anime. ;-; ... But seriously Minato Arisato sounds cooler for me.

I like Minato, but it only makes sense to change his name for the movie. Among other things, Minato and Makoto are two very different people. Right?

I use Minato because that's what I'm used to, but I think I'll grow to do what I do with Souji- that is, use both names interchangeably.

Arisato Minato sounds way too cooler than Yuuki Makoto. While Makoto is a more feminine name, Minato gives a fresh, cool feeling and it fits him better. I mean come on, he was CREATED with that name, why wouldn't he keep it? Narukami Yuu works, but Yuuki Makoto is crossing the border. I'm sorry I'm conservative, but it just doesn't work for me :L

Its just like how they change Yu Narukami's name [P4-The Animation] to Souji Seta [P4 Game]
Its same as Yuuki Makoto and Minato Arisato ^_^

PS: things I wish to see *3* is Minako Arisato hehe his girl version in anime which will never happen xD But anyone can dream right ^_^

Things that are so cool to me ^_^ is how Yuuki and Minato's name can be gender friendly to be turned into a girls name "Yuki" or "Minako" japanese name are soooo cool <3
