In years

The last new JRPG I played was persona 4 which was obviously like 10 years ago now

I've played a couple older ones recently and some stuck while others didn't; I beat super Mario rpg but never finished dragon quest 6.

Anyway I don't have anything to do all day and it seems like a good genre to sink time into

One of the especially shitty Kemco RPGs.

These are "weekend" games, if even that.

Dragon Quest 11 is the big one. Fantastic game. Xenoblade 2 is great.

Dragon Quest 11, the original Valkyria Chronicles, and Disgaea are the JRPGs I'd recommend the most, for Switch.

DQ XI S is the most obvious answer.

I dunno. It's a 100+ hour timehole, which isn't exactly friendly to someone not accustomed to the genre.

Heard its a bad port. Port of the original game and not the remaster

DQ11 really is the best RPG I played on Switch and in a while

Main story is under 60 hours.

Try to stick with the game until after Hotto. The beginning can feel rough. I also recommend starting with Stronger Monsters at the very least (Draconian Quest option, you should be able to change those on file creation) and turn it off if the game is too hard. People say the game is too easy without at least that turned on

Download the DQ XI demo, it contains the first hours of the game and if you decide you want the full game you can continue the demo right into the full version.

The Stronger Monsters option is really fun in my opinion, but it does makes bosses quite hard. You need to find the strategy that will work on bosses. Like for instance a set of monsters might deal huge damage and even one shot your party members, but they're susceptible to sleep. You will be able to cast sleep, use weapons that cause sleep, etc. So the answer isn't usually you need to grind, but instead that you need to find the right strategy.
