I think Chrono Trigger is a great game to start off with. It's not extremely difficult, doesn't have a difficult learning curve and is well designed even by todays standards. it's also considered one of the best RPG's ever.
I don't suggest playing the DS FF 3 or FF 4 because they are kind of difficult and if you are a first timer to RPG's it might be more frustrating than fun.
For you second RPG if you are a fan of story then check out Xenogears (which was made by quite a few people from the Chrono Trigger staff, also there is actually a but load of reading in that game so that might not appeal to you) or try the Xenosaga series (which has voice actors).
