Need a chill JRPG for the PS5

Evening boys.

So, after finishing Lies of P after 47 hours and almost tearing my hair out during the last 2 bosses in the process (Manus + nameless puppet) I need a palette cleanser, meaning, something not grimdark, chill, colorful, flashy and...kind of easy since I HAVE to take a break from the masochore bullshit for my own well being (fuxking game nearly broke me G'dammit 😁).

So, from taking a look around these appear to be my choices :

- Metaphor ReFantazio: just tried the demo, looks and plays good but, those graphics man, no AA whatsoever, it looks like a g'damned PS3 game running as-is on the PS5 - pixel crawling and shimmering are really bringing the beautiful GFX and art-direction down and it really bothers me.

- Persona 5 royal : apparently this is one of the best JRPGs ever made (?) and it can be found for as low as 25 Eurodollars, what I'm afraid of though is that, apparently, it's very long and time consuming and I don't know If I have 100+ hours to invest in it - Read a couple of opinions that many people dropped it mid-way due to how slow everything is, any truth to that?

- FF7 Rebirth: enjoyed 7remake and this apparently is more of the same, just that it's bigger better and more badass ®

- Shin megami Tensei V : I liked what I saw, thing is, last time I played a SMT title was the one on the PS2 (Nocturne?) and I remember it being ball breakingly hard after a certain point.

- Granblue Fantasy relink : This appears to be on the shorter side (which for me is a plus) with the endgame being something like online co-op MOHUN ?
From what I've seen though, this appears to be the more...MOE title out of them all - I really can't do lolli girls with squeaky voices any more, fuuccxxk that sheeeiiit...

Mind you, last time I touched a JRPG was with FF13 on the PS3 so I'm little rusty in knowing what's out there/what games are actually good etc etc.

So, how would you rate the titles I mentioned ? Which would be the best one for my case ?
Any other good recommendations ?

TLDNR : Need a JRPG that isn't overly long/doesn't outstay its welcome, is chill, not overly hard/frustrating AND doesn't feature lolli, MOE, yattaaaa !® shit.

Thanks 😉
Honestly? Go with Fantasian Neo Dimension.

It has a demo. Trust the gooch and nobou.
