As a fellow game juggler my instinct is to pick Chrono Trigger. It takes maybe 30 hrs to beat? Add like 10-15 hrs for 100% completion if you wanna go for it, since Chrono Trigger has multiple endings.People of Famicomboards - help me out pick my new RPG

Something to add to the decision:
- I am on parental leave for another 5 months, so when the young one (10mo) is sleeping I do have plenty of time to do whatever.
- I play a couple of other games currently (MHR: Sunbreak, Layton and the Lost Future, Return to Monkey Island) - so I will joggle a couple of games
- I want to be done with it when M+R2 launches
I like all of your choices so you can’t really go wrong, but I’d play Chrono Trigger. It’s an all time classic, it’s not too long, and it’s easy to put down and come back to given it’s turn based. Live A Live is perhaps most ideal to juggle since it is essentially a short story collection. Since you are playing on Switch, if you did pick The World Ends With You (another great choice since it is divided by days) make sure you have a capacitative stylus since the motion controls are not up to snuff.People of Famicomboards - help me out pick my new RPG.

We are more than a week from the Direct so it’s more plausible, but I don’t think it’s this week.So Metroid Prime HD remaster Twitter drop this week?
Two to four-ish weeks out from release for the announcement feels right to me so I’m not crossing out early November even, but October feels most right. The only thing new allegedly are the new graphics and probably control options. There shouldn’t be too much to explain.I don't believe MPHD is happening this year. But if it actually is, I'd say the latest possible announcement date is October 14th.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I think this makes it unlikely that Metroid Prime is coming this year:
Nintendo hosted a Holiday Showcase for their upcoming games
It looks like Nintendo hosted an event to showcase their games for this Holiday season. This could also indicate that Metroid Prime Remake may not be coming out this year if they hosting such an event. The tweet seems to be deleted:famiboards.com
If anything it could be even month or so, look at Ring Fit, that was roughly a month from reveal to release and was not in covid time.I know it was a very special circumstance, but 3D All Stars was announced two weeks before release so it's not beyond the realms for Ninty to do a quick turnaround

Its great! Doooo iiiit
Can’t speak for Live A Live but I have played all of the other games. Chrono Trigger is a classic for a good reason and it’s like 20-25 hours so it’s the shortest game of the bunch even if you 100% it. TWEWY has a similar-ish length and it’s probably the most jugglable of the bunch since it has a chapter structure. I think you’re in a good spot with either of those two, they would fit all of your criteria perfectlyPeople of Famicomboards - help me out pick my new RPG.

If you juggle already 3 games, i would recommend a "shorter" one, either Chrono Trigger or Live A Live.

Chrono Cross, FF7, FF9, and Vesperia are the longer games here. I don’t know if they’d make great games when juggling so I’d probably recommend against those.
Glad to help here!

You can knock each of them out in about 20-30 hours. TWEWY is sublime (seriously, it made me a believer in S-E again in the midst of the PS3 era) but I think it is longer than the other two recommendations with a sizable bit of post-game and Final Remix adds more content as well.
DO NOT sleep on the other 3. And really you want to play Chrono Cross after Trigger for the full impact. FFIX is Sakaguchi's favorite. Even VIII is worth a look despite its reputation as it's an ambitious rethink of the series mechanics which doesn't really stick the landing but it's an interesting title years later.
Final Fantasy IX!
Its great! Doooo iiiit

Now for the PS1 FF games while some will say that IX is the best because that’s Sakaguchi’s favorite or something I think you should just don’t pay too much attention to the Internet discourse and just play them in release order, they are all worth it (FF VIII IS THE BEST DON’T SKIP IT). Like, VII is a legendary game but it’s a bit more rough around the edges than the other two so it makes sense to play it first.

Those USK logos... the bane of my existence.
I cannot recommend The World Ends With you enough! If possible, I strongly suggest playing the DS version of the game as opposed to the mobile or switch ports, since the game was initially designed with the DS' hardware in mind and overall delivers a much more enjoyable experience on DS because of that.People of Famicomboards - help me out pick my new RPG.
