I'm always hungry. Ask my co-workers -- I'm always bitching about it. The last thing I need is a cast of role-playing game characters to make me even more hungry, but Irem's upcoming RPG is doing it anyway.
This game has a hell of a title. A mouthful, if you will. Narisokonai Eiyuuden: Taiyou to Tsuki no Monogatari (Narisokonai Epic: Tale of the Sun and Moon) will be released in Japan on July 23, and it's serving up a smorgasboard of food-based character names. Bread, Croque, and Muffin join swordsman Danish for a party that would have Atkins rolling over in his grave. They are joined by Bread, Roll, and even that crispy sandwich Panini. And Pudding for after.
The folks at Siliconera say that Narisokonai has a job system, a relationship-building leveling system, and an in-battle thought display, not unlike the scrolling text-over-video of Japanese site Nico Nico Douga.
We're with Siliconera in guessing that Atlus could pick this up for the U.S, as they're all about crazy RPGs.

Also, after Atlus picks it up, I'll pick it up from them. :)
Had Princess Fillet of Allucaneet, who was captured by the Thirstquencher empire, who have in their ranks a Captain Gingerelle, etc...
Food names are easy to write and pronounce while still remaining exotic-sounding.
Irem also developed Steambot Chronicles, where everyone was named after a condiment, and Steambot Chronicles Battle Tournament, where everyone is named after celestial bodies. I expect that Steambot Chronicles 2, should it ever make it out the door, will name everyone after vegetables.
Awesome.
I'll just have my friend import it and I'll try it out. I've been needing a new handheld anyway.
And hopefully this game has Milk. Kinda getting thirsty. ._.
also, must play brave fencer musashi nao.
also, also, ATLUS GET.
And Magnalon is right, although I think the character has a bit more Ryu from Breath of Fire in him.
And hell yes, Kickle Cubicle was an awesome game.
I just wish they'd make Bumpy Trot 2 exist again =<.
