Cheerful, Bright RPGs

[tesseracts]

I'm looking for some light-hearted, easy playing, cheerful atmosphere type RPGs for PC. Comical is fine, but doesn't necessarily have to be funny. Just looking for a change of pace from all the dark, intense RPGs I've been playing lately. Something I can look forward to playing, not stress out about while I'm playing it. (Darkest Dungeon anyone?)

Any ideas?

Have you tried the Torchlight games?

Half Minute Hero 2 (it also comes with the first one for free).

I have. Spent a lot of time playing them.

These first two are pretty easy to get into.

business sim/action RPG, cheery tone with adorable humor:

turn-based JRPG with very detailed setting construction:

These latter two are not as easy to get into, but still cheerful and bright for the most part.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1 & 2 seem to be the perfect match

Baldur's Gate Series. It's not light but it's more "Lord of the Rings" than "The Walking Dead". And to be honest I still haven't found a better RPG.

I would second Kingdoms of Amalur. Great game.

"Cthullhu saves the world" Is humorous and has a lot of traditional RPG feel, but might not ncessarily be 'light'

Also Breath of Death VI - not as good as Cthulu Saves the World. More Pokemon light than a traditional RPG.

You can't go wrong with LOH. I am playing it on my PSP at this moment and it always keeps you smiling for reason I don't know. Maybe because Estelle is a bright girl and full of life.

Of course there's the Sims 4 if you like your adventures to be domestic.

Appreciating the replies everyone. Everyone else, please feel free to keep posting.

Any of the Fables. Fate also, but they're more hack and slash than "true" RPGs.

'The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: the Amulet of Chaos' might do it for you. It's based on a French comic series, doesn't take itself to serious and is quite funny at times. The turn based fights where you position and commadn multiple team members are good.
