Do I have to play the first game to understand this?

Probably.
>>380459659
first game is great... go play it on dolphin or some shit
>>380459659
It's looking like shit will stop making sense to you at about the halfway point based on what we know about the story.
>>380459659
Probably not, but possibly. Don't know yet.
Play the first one anyway.
>>380459659
you probably won't understand it even if you played the first game
No
If you played literally any Tales game at all, you know what to expect:
>oooh I live in a quaint quiet village
>oh no, the Desians attacked and now I am wanted
>time to venture across this generic anime landscape and fight for my friends!
