Until now.
I have to admit, I am absolutely head over heels excited for FFXII: Revenant Wings. I adored its older console brother and with every new bit of information released for the game, my excitement doubles. The technology in handhelds seems to have gotten to the point where RPGs on them can provide truly engaging experiences similar to consoles, and I am absolutely purchasing a DS for Revenant Wings. But I don't know where to go from there.
I realize that I've missed out neglecting handhelds for so long, so I want to purchase some other games with my DS as well. Only I don't know where to start. I want RPGs specifically, and I know I could just look for reviews but a lot of them can be pretty misleading, so I'd rather ask around here.
I figure I'll buy 2-3 other games for my DS besides RV, so...if you could only have 3 RPGs for your DS, which would they be?

Magical Starsign's pretty underrated. The graphics are hardly even GBA standard most of the time, but it's a lot of fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously and the turn based battle system is actually pretty good for once. Contact's another amusing one, although it does kind of drag on and lose the humour after a while.
I can't even recommend a third. :] Probably Final Fantasy 3 I guess, dunno. Mario & Luigi 2 was a massive let down for me, but I seem to be in the minority there.

I haven't played Rocket slime, but I hear good things about it. Once I get some money coming it, that is my first stop. Although, if your looking for something more hardcore, then don't consider my recommendation.

I also recently bought Yggdra Union so far so good.
Also SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is coming soon if u like Card RPG's, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, if u like dungeon crawlers, and u can't forget Dragon Quest IX.
Overall though i guess i'd have to say my favs are FE, FFTA, and ToP.

I agree with Infernal, Partners in Time is terribly overrated.

Well the guys behind Star Wars KOTR are supposed to be working on DS stuff.
