Worth playing first game?

[OMG My Profile Name Does Not Fi]

As we all got God Eater Resurrection with this game - is it worth playing the original first or should I just skip straight to the second game?

If you care about story/characters, you should play Resurrection first. Also, the gameplay is pretty similar between the two.

It's not necessary to play the first game even if you do care about the story. There are various references to the first game, and in the main plot you are dealing with a similar event that occurred in the first game, and characters that return from the first game, none of which require playing the first game in order to understand or enjoy this one's story.

Everything that needs to be explained is explained in this one.

Wow... how many times have we seen this question?

Anyway, I recommend starting with Resurrection. You'll understand the story better when you get to Rage Burst. Plus Resurrection also does a better job introducing you the game systems a little at a time, whereas RB assumes you've played the first game and tosses most of those systems at you right from the start (then introduces even more systems as you play).

you should play resurrection first,if you don't play for the story oyu should try it ! I played the first on console,I really enjoyed the story,the reason I don't play it oright now is because I always wanted to try the 2 but I'm gona give a try !

Yeah the play the first game, imo it's much better than GE2RB (i still enjoy ge2rb alot though don't get me wrong) in terms of story, progression, characters, and the predator system is amazing.

NEW FEATURES
Resurrection introduces to the God Eater series the "Predator Style", an expansion of the existing Devour function that enables additional devouring options in the form of the instantaneous Quick devour, the Step devour that chains from steps, and the Air devour, performed in mid-air, with multiple available Predator Styles (devour actions) for each.

While not new features to the series as a whole, all weapon types introduced in God Eater 2 and God Eater 2 Rage Burst are available to use.

Aside from the all new Predator Style, most of the old Aragami have been given a completely new attack while some of them get an attack from the new Aragami introduced in God Eater 2 and God Eater 2 Rage Burst.

The international release contains a brand-new localization, with a revised script and English dub. Most of the original voice cast returns, with the exceptions of Johannes and Sakaki, who now have their voices from the anime adaptation.
