Best RPGs on the Switch for someone new to the genre?

Never really played RPGs but I've got a long trip coming up. Prefer something with turn-based combat and a story that doesn't need 100 hours.

Depends a bit on what kind of RPG, but for someone new I'd start with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door or Dragon Quest XI S. Both are turn based, forgiving and don't bury you in menus. Once those click, Octopath Traveler or Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Xeno is fantastic but it's a 60+ hour game that throws a lot of systems at you early, so not where I'd begin.
