I have the perfect game for you.

Your first run is going to be about six hours. If you end up doing sixty hours on newgame+, that's entirely on you.

Romancing SaGa 2 and 3 are terrific ports, and SaGa Frontier's remaster is also great. Also SaGa Scarlet Grace, loved it.

Brave Dungeon is JRPG minus JRPG.
The plot is completely absent. "Busty bluehair wants the macguffin" is the story, and that's it.
The characters are unimportant and never matter. They are just collections of abilities. That said, Al/Papelne/Stoj is a great party on your first run.
The entire point of the game is exploiting newgame+ into infinity, until you get sick of playing it.

World of Final Fantasy, hands down. It goes on sale for cheap fairly regularly, it's an extremely solid purchase for $20.

I got 45 hours out of it, including most of the endgame and side content. The graphics are fantastic on Switch, the dialogue is funny in that cheesy JRPG way with a self-referential twist, the monster capturing aspect is legitimately compelling in a way I haven't felt in a long-ass time and it's just an incredibly entertaining JRPG that won't break the bank and doesn't overstay its welcome.

I feel a need to add a disclaimer on the monster capturing part - I usually don't like when games makes monster collecting a part of the experience. FFX-2 and XIII-2 left kind of a bad taste in my mouth in this regard. In this game, the levelling is incredibly well-developed and kind of addictive, the monsters are integrated into the gameplay though a stacking mechanic that augments your stats, and it's honestly a shitton of fun.

Like if you're already into Final Fantasy, the fanservice is probably a big draw, and if you like Kingdom Hearts the story and character design will probably go a long way. But even without any of that, World of Final Fantasy is an incredibly solid JRPG that lasts for exactly long as it needs to. I can't recommend this game enough.

I second Grandia, one of my favorite JRPG's of all time (it released in 1999 in the US). On the Switch, it's part of the Grandia HD Collection, which is Grandia + Grandia II for $39.99.

This too, it's an incredibly replayable dungeon crawler with a lot of character. Play it once, and it'll be a refreshing one and done situation. But if you liked it that much, you can choose to replay it as much as you want to unlock New Game + modifiers and extra game modes and stuff. Extremely solid replayable RPG, and it goes on sale for a very reasonable price as well.

Yeah waifus is all it had. If you do play it, do it with the japanese dub. The english dub for XB 2 is awful.

I've personally beat it about a dozen times and 40 is spot on as a minimum for a first play through
